The Democratic Convention has been hit with mass protests following controversy over the release of thousands of party emails by WikiLeaks which showed Democratic staffers favored Hillary Clinton over Senator Sanders.
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday she would resign at the convention’s end due to fallout from the emails.
‘I don’t care about Sanders supporters, a lot of them are going to vote for Hillary anyway. A caller who identifies himself as former ambassador to Austria William Eacho says his wife got a call about a small dinner with President Obama.
The party still attempted to unite behind Mrs. Clinton, in particularly through its, “I’m with her” slogan.
“He’s called President Obama a “n****rized president” and he said he’s a “Republican in blackface”,’ the woman rages”.
“I’m furious about what you are doing for Bernie Sanders, he’s getting way too much influence”, the woman says.
One of the voicemails – from an Arizona dialling code – captures an irate woman demanding the party take action against Sanders. Bernie Sanders from clinching the party’s nomination, has leaked up to 29 files from the committee.
Other recordings feature prominent party members apparently using their status to inquire about meetings with President Barack Obama and other invitations to exclusive White House events.
