It's Weird how they think anyone on the left gives a flying you-know-what about Larry Summers [View all]

They're like, "The emails also show close ties with major Democratic figures like former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers."

Larry Summers is an asshole. He was the absolute worst of Clintonism and plenty of people on the left were pissed when Obama brought him on board as well. I've thought this guy was a neoliberal shitbag for 30 years. And that's not "attacking a Democratic figure." This fool is not a Democrat, but a plutocrat.

I mean seriously. The worst corporate, neoliberal idea man of the last 30 years, and managed to throw in some "Harvard should still be racist" for good measure. If we have to throw Larry Summers under the bus, believe me, many of us did that 30 years ago!
