DNC Greets GOP w/’Happy Holidays’

A slew of Democrats tweeted “Happy Holidays” to the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Wednesday in response to a recent debate over the holiday greeting. The Democratic National Committee encouraged supporters to tweet the phrase following controversy over products the NRCC has been selling for Christmas. More than 1,000 people tweeted it on Wednesday, according to social media analytics tool TOPSY. “The official organization charged with electing Republicans to the House — the national Republican Party! — thinks that telling people “Happy Holidays” is something that only liberals do,” DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee wrote in a morning email to Democratic supporters/ Rebecca Shabad , The Hill.
