But while they and other Wasserman Schultz fans attempted to drown out the hecklers with applause and cries of “Deb-bie!” they were largely unsuccessful.

Some of his supporters jeered in disapproval, indicating turmoil at this week’s Democratic National Convention won’t end with the departure of the party chairman, Rep.
Dawson opened for Sanders, who told supporters that they need to support presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to defeat Donald Trump.
Clinton beat Sanders by fewer than 2,000 votes in Kentucky’s Democratic Primary in May.
Among those added are two strong Sanders supporters – ME lawmaker Diane Russell and former NAACP president Ben Jealous.
“You have a young, attractive, energetic African American woman talking about a White House that slaves built”, he said.
Amos Miers of St. Petersburg, Florida, says Sanders should do more explaining before instructing supporters to get behind Clinton. “Bernie has given up”.
“So I can see that there’s a little bit of interest in my being here, and I appreciate that interest – and a little bit of interest from the press”, Wasserman Schultz said.
Clinton’s campaign didn’t hesitate to make the connection, with campaign manager Robby Mook saying cyber experts believed “Russian state actors were feeding the email to hackers for the goal of helping Donald Trump”.
The New Jersey lawmaker who served as Bernie Sanders’ Garden State campaign chair said Monday that the email scandal that exploded on the eve of the Democratic National Convention has clearly “exacerbated tensions” in a party already dealing with shaky unity.
“She just got fired”.
Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association President Steve Loomis said Monday that the trucks would be headed to Philadelphia as soon as they’re loaded. Get out. Get out Debbie. Out.
When asked if Clinton encouraged Schultz to resign her position, Mook replied, “this was the chairwoman’s decision”. So, there’s no loyalty there, right? Sanders was booed by his own supporters at a Monday afternoon meeting when he said, “We have to stop Donald Trump”.
Wasserman Schultz announced plans Sunday to step down as Democratic National Committee chair after the convention.
Trump, who was accompanied by his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said the emails proved that the system was “rigged” against Sen.
“We had the biggest bounce that anyone can remember” following the convention, Trump claimed. Really? Half of those six debates were scheduled during weekends – one on the Sunday of the three-day Martin Luther King Day weekend. That’s why they don’t want to name their experts, because they are people like this.
That’s true, according to a fact check by Politico – which, by the way, Trump dismissed in Winston-Salem as one of “these fact-checkers that are all on the very far left, Politifact”. Can you imagine? Can you imagine what they’re hacking? “It’s the most awesome thing”. During a briefing in Philadelphia Tuesday, Clinton spokeswoman Jen Palmieri told reporters to expect more discussion of the issue.
“You can’t re-litigate the primary”, Wisniewski said.

United States officials suspect the email dump is the work of Russian hackers who were discovered in DNC servers earlier this year, and experts believe the coordinated release of the documents on the eve of the convention are an effort by Moscow to meddle in the USA presidential election.
