Watch: HRC President Joe Solmonese Says ‘Every Player’ Involved in the ‘DADT’ Repeal Process Let the Community Down

Andy Towle December 10, 2010

Solmonese

Joe Solmonese, President of the Human Rights Campaign, discusses the failed Senate 'DADT' repeal bill with CNN's John King.

Says Solmonese:

"Well I think everybody involved in this process let the community down. Every one of the players in this process let the community down because the fact of the matter was there was a path forward, whether it was the White House, the Democratic leadership, the Republicans who supported this bill. I have to believe we could have found that way forward and we could have gotten it done."

Does he include HRC in that group? Since February, when folks were already expressing concern that there wasn't enough leadership from Congress or the White House on the repeal issue, HRC was insisting that there was a clear path to repeal.

We've seen a lot of things this year, but a clear path is not among them.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…

UPDATE: Pam Spaulding calls on Solmonese to resign.
