Sanders Calls for DWS to Step Down, plus Obamas and Clintons statement on DWS resigning
Bernie Sanders reacted on CNN this morning to being trashed by multiple DNC officials in that massive email dump.
The emails showed DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz expressing her frustrations with Sanders, as well as one top DNC official talking about going after Sanders on his faith (or lack thereof).
Jake Tapper asked Sanders for his reaction to those emails. Sanders said, “It’s outrageous, but it is not a great shock to me… It’s what we talked about six months ago.”
He firmly insisted that he’s not an atheist, but made it abundantly clear that this changes nothing and he’s still committed to helping Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump.
Tapper asked him if there need to be any repercussions for what’s happened. During the interview, Sanders twice reaffirmed his calls for Wasserman Schultz to step down--not just because of the “prejudice” against his campaign, but because the Democrats need “new leadership.”
