Sanders: ‘Awful’ DNC emails should cost party chair her job

However, despite reports of an increasingly limited role at the convention, she added: “As Party Chair, this week I will open and close the Convention and I will address our delegates about the stakes involved in this election not only for Democrats, but for all Americans”.

Monday night, Bernie Sanders gave a speech asking his followers to back Clinton.

The audience was roughly half supportive of Wasserman Schultz and half detractors, though the angry participants were louder than the other half.

The decision was blessed by Clinton and Sanders officials, this Democrat said.

She saw Wasserman Schultz’s ousting as a move “probably to appease” Sanders’ supporters.

First came the hack, then the leak.

“To not be fair during this entire process, it’s kind of shameful”, delegate Sanjay Patel, a Sanders supporter from Brevard County said before she spoke at Florida delegation breakfast.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, trying to play down the internal turmoil, said Monday “it doesn’t really matter” who’s the party chair.

For much of the Sanders hardcore, a small but vocal group that will not vote for Clinton under any circumstances, the real enemy has always been the DNC.

Unlike Cleveland, where scattershot demonstrations routinely dissolved among infighting and an overwhelming police presence, the protesters descending on the DNC have a more coherent slate of demands and, with a new Wikileaks release of documents that seems to show Democratic officials discussing ways to undermine Sanders’ bid, freshly ignited anger at the party’s handling of the nominating contest. Turns out, Sanders was right. Bernie Sanders, the runner-up for the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton. She has consistently denied these allegations. She did not appear at the convention podium and later watched the proceedings from a private suite. It came at a crucial moment for Clinton’s campaign, on the heels of leaked emails suggesting the party had favored the former secretary of state through the primaries despite a vow of neutrality. Some of the emails contained personal information of donors, including home addresses and Social Security numbers.

Even while Sanders sought to redirect the outrage over the leaked emails and urged his supporters to focus on Trump, he acknowledged that Kaine is not the vice presidential pick he had hoped for.

During the primary campaign, the Democrats’ left wing complained Ms. Wasserman Schultz and the elites of the party were out of touch with the young, progressive base. Those two Democratic presidential candidates also criticized the timing, per se, of those debates, saying that the debates had been intentionally scheduled to attract fewer viewers. “There’s simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie”, Clinton said.

Sanders has previously asked for the resignation of Wasserman Schutz from the Democratic National Committee and reiterated that call Sunday.

“Leaked e-mails of DNC show plans to destroy Bernie Sanders”. It also sapped some of her energy coming out of Republican Donald Trump’s chaotic convention last week and the well-received rollout Saturday of her running mate, Virginia Sen.

However, former party spokeswoman Maria Cardona predicted on CNN that Wasserman Schultz’s statement is a beginning point for negotiations that could further minimize the Florida congresswoman’s role this week. She married Steve Schultz and resides with her family in Weston, a Fort Lauderdale suburb.
