Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D) (CNN)
Wasserman Schultz’s fall came in her response to an email sent to her by a DNC staffer, where the staffer told her that Bernie Sanders would not drop out of the presidential primary race against Hillary Clinton:
Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do.Wasserman Schultz has also gone on record of calling Sanders’ Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver “scummy,” a “damn liar” and an “ass.”
But what quite possibly is the most damning of the leaked emails is the communication sent by DNC CFO Brad Marshall.
For KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in God. He had skated on saying he had a Jewish Heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference… My Southern Baptists peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.-DNC CFO Brad Marshall
Sanders echoed his concerns to all that would listen, saying that the DNC “was not running a fair operation” saying that what he “suggested to be true six months ago” actually “turned out to be true.”
Vice Chair Donna Brazile will act as interim chairwoman of the DNCAnd of course there is Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s response to the news of ‘DWS’ resignation:
The highly neurotic Debbie Wasserman Schultz is angry that, after stealing and cheating her way to a Crooked Hillary victory, she’s out!
