Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Sanders fully a part of Democrats' work
April 6, 2017
Excerpt:
"Sen. Sanders is a leader of our party, one of a number of leaders," Schultz said. "It is absolutely fantastic that he is leading an effort to continue to engage our grass-roots activists."
Schultz said the two are working together now and noted the independent Vermont senator is a member of Senate Democratic leadership.
Schultz, in her CNN interview on Thursday, said Sanders and his staff are "fully integrated" into the work of the Democratic Party. "As much as we can make sure that we reach out to the grass roots, as we always have, then we're going to be able to capitalize on it," Schultz said.
She also denied she took any offense at Sanders' call for an overhaul of the party.
"I spend no time worrying about the semantics of whether Bernie Sanders thinks we are or aren't a grass-roots party," Schultz said.
