WASHINGTON -- Democrats are facing a big challenge with the "machine of alternative facts," and false news coming from President Donald Trump, says Tom Perez, the former Labor secretary who wants to lead the Democratic Party.

"Where'd he go to college? MSU. Not Michigan State University. Making Sh— Up." Perez told NBC Latino Wednesday.

Perez's "call to arms," "rally the troops" speeches became his signature while serving in Obama's Cabinet, making him a strong contender to be Hillary Clinton's running mate.

But in his bid for chair of the Democratic National Committee, he's unleashed more of his inner pit bull, speaking with biting quips in a way he couldn't fully do as a member of the Obama Cabinet.

1. We need some more of this type of language

Somebody that "talks like I talk". It is the only way to get through. We need to lower the discourse on our messaging I am afraid.
