In one of the 29 voicemails released, a woman who donated $300 to Clinton called the party finance director Andrew Wright and said she was angry the party was acquiescing to Sanders by allowing liberal activist and prominent Sanders surrogate Cornel West to have one of 15 seats on the party’s platform-writing panel.

A supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton left a series of angry messages with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the party’s supposed bending over backwards for Vermont Sen.
In one audio recording, the angry Clinton supporter said in her minute-long voice mail that she was “furious” about what she perceived as party support for Sanders and giving the self-described democratic socialist “too much influence”. Wasserman Schultz will resign from her position as DNC chair over the scandal.

Sanders, US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, former NY mayor Michael Bloomberg, and husband and former President Bill Clinton will all advocate for Clinton in primetime this week.
‘Her radical amnesty plan will take jobs, resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the United States and give them to the citizens of other countries.
Fealk said he viewed the emergence of hacked DNC emails, which suggested favoritism of Clinton, as a revelation and evidence of the party’s disrespect for progressives. Trump also bashed Clinton as “owned by Wall Street” and claimed her “vision is a borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs, no safety”.
