Does Kenyatta think we're stupid? Because it sure seems like it. "It started before Hogg's conflict, therefore it must be unrelated to his conflict. Also I'm here on this nationally broadcast show calling him a habitual liar with no specifics beyond something that is a matter of opinion just coincidentally. Because I'm against intra-party conflict."

He's obviously aware that he's going to run head to head with Hogg, so as long as Hogg is smeared well enough he doesn't have to care about a revote. Disappointing, but I can't say I'm even aware of anything Kenyatta has been doing since the PA senate race, so I also don't know much about him beyond him being young and endorsed by the WFP over Fetterman.

Kenyatta is the other DNC vice chair who has to redo the election. I strongly suggest the full article, but here's the important bit for people who won't click the link:

“David has a very casual relationship with the truth,” he told host Symone Sanders Townsend. “And he has not been truthful on so many points that have been raised on this show.”

The Pennsylvania state legislator added that he’s “frustrated” with the decision to hold the election again given that he received considerably more votes than necessary to clinch one of the vice chair positions, but he respects it.

“But David’s first statement out of the gate was, here’s the Democratic Party doing some maniacal thing to push me out because of what he’s doing with his PAC,” Kenyatta said. “David knows that that is not true.”

“And so for all of the people who have, like I had, really high hopes for what David could bring for this party and who are now looking at the message that he’s been pushing out and the emails that they have been getting from him about how he wants to reform the party, you have to be honest with people,” he added.
