The two leaders of Milwaukee's host committee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention are out.

Late Tuesday, the board for the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee terminated President Liz Gilbert and her chief of staff, Adam Alonso. The move comes just one day after the board suspended the pair and launched an investigation into “toxic workplace” allegations.

The Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday that a group of senior women staffers wrote an unsigned letter last week complaining of being "bullied and intimidated" by Alonso — something they said Gilbert did nothing to stop. They said Alonso's actions fostered a "toxic and unstable" culture.

2. Agreed. Very sad to me whenever I see this kind of behavior.

Makes me angry too.

3. So glad to hear they've dealt with this promptly.

Bully bosses get away with all kinds of abusive behavior at thousands of American workplaces. The Democratic Party must acknowledge and stand up to this kind of behavior.
