The ousters come ahead of the DNC's first meeting, in Las Vegas, Nevada, since Perez took over as chairman with a pledge this year to unite a party that had become badly divided during the brutal Bernie Sanders-Hillary Clinton 2016 primary race.

The establishment corprate Democrats like to talk a good game with their "Unity Reform Commission" and then when said commission is getting ready to deliver suggestions to the DNC... what does the Perez lead DNC do? They begin a purge of all Berniecrats in the DNC that would be in a position to vote on the suggestions. This is their idea of unity?
