Sean Patrick Maloney, tapped Dyjuan Tatro as a senior adviser       for diversity and inclusion.              Tatro is known for appearing in the 2019 PBS documentary series “College       Behind Bars,” about a group of inmates trying to earn their degrees       through New York state’s Bard Prison Initiative.              Through the program, Tatro got a bachelor’s degree while serving a six-       year sentence for racketeering conspiracy.              At the time of that 2011 conviction, Tatro had already been doing time for       shooting two rival gang members in 2006.              Described at the time as a “triggerman” for the Original Gangsta Killas       street gang that terrorized Albany, Tatro confessed to the shootings, and       to a “razor slashing” of another victim in 2002 as well as to dealing       drugs.              He admitted to making at least $12,000 a month dealing drugs and conspired       to traffic more than 50 grams of crack cocaine.              Tatro was freed in 2017 and has since become an advocate for increasing       educational opportunities for inmates through BPI.              While in the program himself, Tatro was part of a three-inmate debate team       from the Eastern New York Correctional Facility in the Catskills that       famously defeated the Harvard undergraduate debate team, earning national       headlines.              Republicans said Tatro’s hiring will reinforce criticism that Democrats       are soft on crime.              “It’s certainly on-brand for criminal-coddling Democrats, but the rest of       America will find it disturbing that a murderous gang member is holding a       prominent position with the DCCC,” said New York state Republican Party       Chairman Nick Langworthy.              “Second chances are one thing, but I would have to question Congressman       Maloney’s judgment to put someone with such a violent past at the top of       their organization.”              But Maloney and DCCC defended hiring Tatro, whom they consider a turn-       around success story and a nationally recognized criminal justice reform       advocate.              “Dyjuan is a formerly incarcerated person who has worked hard to change       the trajectory of his life through education and service to his       community,” a DCCC spokesman said.              “He has served his time for the crimes he committed and is now a national       leader in the bipartisan movement to reform our criminal justice system       and bring meaningful improvements to the education system in American       prisons. Such critical work breaks cycles of recidivism by making sure       more people leave prison with the skills to hold down a job and contribute       to their communities.”              Tatro, who has worked on Maloney’s campaigns, said in a statement upon his       hiring,       “This past election cycle has emphasized how electoral politics affects       the daily lives of each and every American as well as the centrality of       the African American vote to winning elections. I am honored to be joining       the DCCC to work on a number of issues at the nexus of politics,       diversity, and equity & inclusion.”              He added, “I want to thank Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney for his       commitment to assembling talented & diverse DCCC teams.”                            --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
