In reply to the discussion: If Sanders not being officially in the party bothers Democrats so much [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,173 posts)But you still said "her emails". Who is "her"? Debbie Wasserman Schultz? You must admit that whenever anyone ever referred to "her emails" it was about Clinton's emails, not the DNC, unless you always refer to the DNC organization in the feminine.
And again, thanks for that link. It is a reminder at the incredible restraint of Bernie Sanders response, when he found out. Because he bit his tongue in the interest of the party, and Hillary, winning. which was admirable considering what was said in those emails
Sanders issued a statement Sunday saying Wasserman Schultz "has made the right decision for the future of the Democratic Party."
"While she deserves thanks for her years of service, the party now needs new leadership that will open the doors of the party and welcome in working people and young people," Sanders said. "The party leadership must also always remain impartial in the presidential nominating process, something which did not occur in the 2016 race."
In appearances on talk shows earlier Sunday, Sanders had again called for Wasserman Schultzs resignation but said Democrats should focus on defeating GOP nominee Donald Trump, whom he called perhaps the worst Republican candidate that Ive seen in my lifetime.
We have to elect Secretary Clinton, who on every single issue fighting for the middle class, on health care, on climate change is a far, far superior candidate to Trump, Sanders said on Meet the Press. Thats where I think the focus has got to be.
