Now Victor DiMaio has gone to a new low. This is his second lawsuit, his third court hearing. He said would use the racial diversity issue, and he is...most certainly.

He is saying that the DNC allowed South Carolina to move up its primary because of its large African America population. He says that Nevada was allowed to move up because it has a large Hispanic population.

He says the DNC is punishing Florida for having a large caucasion population.

TAMPA -- Vic Dimaio, the man who sued the Democratic National Committe for ignoring Florida's delegates, is claiming racial discrimination.

At a press conference Thursday, Dimaio said the DNC punished Florida and Michigan, but refused to punish South Carolina and Nevada for moving their primary contest dates.

Dimaio claims the DNC allowed South Carolina to move its date because the state has a large African American population. He also claims Nevada was allowed to move its date because the state has a large Latino population.

Dimaio said Florida and Michigan were punished for having a large caucasion population.


He is using a very disingenuous argument.

The states of NV and SC along with IA and NH were already in the pre-window before February 5th.

They worked with the DNC to get permission to move when they were leapfrogged by Michigan and Florida.

DiMaio said he would do this. He said he would use racial overtones in this next lawsuit. His lawyer is chairman of county Democrats in the Tampa area. Wonder if his fellow Democrats think the DNC is racist.

With Bill Nelson calling for blood on the floor in Denver, and Wasserman Schultz changing the rules for the primary.....and Victor suing on racism...

It is going to be one interesting time from here on out to November.
