The Democratic National Committee is offering its “deep and honest apology” to Bernie Sanders, his supporters and the entire party for what it calls “the inexcusable remarks made over email”.
Yea, these emails, bouncing back and forth between elite figures in the DNC, discussed finding ways to discredit Bernie Sanders, in favor of Hillary Clinton.
The office of Rep. Marcia Fudge told NPR in an email that she “has been named permanent chair of the Democratic National Convention”.
He also called for Wasserman Schultz to step down from her post.
“Everyone that supported Bernie Sanders knew already that the DNC was trying to finagle this things”, said Steck.”But I don’t think that’s the major issue”.
Political analyst Donna Brazile, now vice chair of the DNC, will take over as interim leader of the party organization when the Florida congresswoman steps down from her post, DNC spokesman Luis Miranda said in a statement.
WikiLeaks also commented on Wasserman Schultz’s resignation, saying their organization showed “collusion against Bernie Sanders’ campaign”.
The US Democratic Party chair says she will resign as a row over leaked emails threatens efforts for party unity ahead of the presidential nominating convention. She herself expressed frustrations with the Sanders campaign, and she even complained about media coverage.
Meanwhile, a California delegate says there are serious discussions underway to challenge Hillary Clinton’s pick of Tim Kaine as her running mate.
“She’s been quarantined”, another top Democrat said, following a meeting Saturday night.
This march was planned before the news surrounding Wasserman Schultz broke, but the WikiLeaks certainly added to the frustration of sanders supporters.
