Sanders says he's backing DNC chair's primary opponent, wouldn't reappoint her to DNC

[n2doc]

Washington (CNN)Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday said he supports Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Democratic opponent in her August 30 primary, adding that if he is elected president, he would effectively terminate her chairmanship of the DNC.

Sanders, whose campaign has engaged in an increasingly bitter feud with the DNC chairwoman during his presidential bid, said in an interview set to air on CNN's "State of the Union" that he favors Tim Canova in Florida's 23rd congressional district. Canova is supporting Sanders.

"Well, clearly, I favor her opponent," Sanders told Tapper. "His views are much closer to mine than as to Wasserman Shultz's."

Sanders added that if he's elected president, he wouldn't reappoint Wasserman Schultz to head the DNC.

DWS has needed to go since she backed Republican candidates against Democrats.

Bernie knows.

5. 11 Governors, 13 Senators, 69 Reps, and 913 state seats--her record is unmatched!

7. One might easily wonder exactly whose side she was on with that record. ;) nt

8. after literally hiring Republicans to run while locking out Democrats and banning Dems

from challenging the Three Gusanos in Miami?

9. She is a strange duck indeed. Wonder if her Miami "friends" helped her stash

a little "something" away for retirement?
