    Harrison has reportedly chosen not to seek to stay on as DNC chair but his dismissal of Sanders’s statement provoked anger of its own, including from the reporter and columnist Glenn Greenwald. “You and the corporatist and militarist party you lead just got your ass kicked all up and down the US, because Americans see that you only care about enriching yourselves at the corporate lobbying trough,” Greenwald wrote. “If the humiliation you just suffered doesn’t usher in some humility and self-reflection, nothing will.”

    -rarely do I read an article and genuinely think “man, that guy got slammed.” as the rhetoric typically suggests, but wholly hell did Harrison get slammed.

              Greenwald has always been a civil liberties-focused investigative journalist. He never “changed.” What changed was who was occupying the White House. To the surprise of Democratic party partisan hacks, Greenwald is deferential to neither party.

      You absolutely do not have to hand it to Greenwald, but he really did rise to the stopped-clock moment here…
