No secret that during the primary season I was supporting Bernie Sanders and like many on thew Right I could see that the Clinton presidency was a coronation……what makes me say that is the actions of the head of the DNC, Debbie Wassman-Schultz.
Instead of being a supporter for all the DNC she was an outspoken supporter of Clinton…..so intense was her support that she would game the system in favor of Clinton….
Bernie supporters decided to bite back……
On June 28, the Miami-based law firm Beck & Lee filed a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee and DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
“There are essentially six legal claims we are asserting in this lawsuit on behalf of the composed class members,” said attorney Jared Beck in a YouTube video announcing the lawsuit. “The first is a claim for fraud—against the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz—based on the revelations from the recent Guccifer 2.0 documents purportedly taken from the DNC’s own computer network.” The Guccifer 2.0 documents include internal memos in which the DNC broke legally binding neutrality agreements in the Democratic primaries by strategizing to make Hillary Clinton the nominee before a single vote was cast.
As they say “karma is a bitch”…….revenge is sweet….
At least one head is starting to roll in the wake of leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee that show officials working to undermine Bernie Sanders’ campaign: DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will no longer speak at the convention she was to preside over, reports Politico, and for Sanders, that move doesn’t go far enough. “I think she should resign, period,” Sanders said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. “And I think we need a new chair who is going to lead us in a very different direction.” Of the leak, he said, “it’s outrageous, but it is not a great shock.” He told CNN: “I don’t think she is qualified to be the chair of the DNC not only for these awful emails, which revealed the prejudice of the DNC, but also because we need a party that reaches out to working people and young people, and I don’t think her leadership style is doing that.”
All of Wasserman Schultz’s convention appearances have been hastily scrapped, notes CNN, and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge has been named convention chair in her stead. “She’s been quarantined,” a Dem tells CNN of Wasserman Schultz. The move is seen as an effort to head off open revolt among Sanders’ supporters when the DNC kicks off in Philadelphia on Monday. Wasserman Schultz’s term with the DNC ends next year, notes Roll Call.
Her final act is one of falling on her sword…..’never fear Clinton will make sure that she is well protected….
Embattled Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Sunday that she will step down, CNN reports. The announcement that she will resign following the party convention, which begins Monday, comes on the heels of leaked emails that appear to show that DNC officials were working to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. Wasserman Schultz’s role at the convention already had been reduced to simply opening and closing the event. “I am confident that the strong team in place will lead our party effectively through this election to elect Hillary Clinton as our 45th president,” she said in a statement, adding, “Going forward, the best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as party chair at the end of this convention.”
Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge will chair the convention, the New York Daily News reports. And, per NBC News, Vice Chair Donna Brazile will steer the DNC through the election as interim chair. “I am grateful to Debbie for getting the Democratic Party to this year’s historic convention in Philadelphia, and I know that this week’s events will be a success thanks to her hard work and leadership,” Clinton said in a statement. Republican nominee Donald Trump tweeted, “I always said that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was overrated. The Dems Convention is cracking up and Bernie is exhausted, no energy left!”
Bernie accused her of wrong doing and all DNC seem to come to her defense…..a little late but at least we can get rid of this bitch…..and Bernie when he called her out early in the process has been proven right.
In essence thanks to Wasserman-Schultz the Right in their prediction of a coronation was right on so many levels…..
So much for free and fair elections.
See Irene…… there is a God…..he just may be a little slow on the uptake…….(probably a Clinton fan)…..
Reblogged this on The Militant Negro™.
Like I said Karma is a bitch”…I love it…TY
Good Monday Morning Chuq.
This a is going to be a fiasco of a week….all the lame politicians lining up to support her majesty….I shall write about it everyday…..chuq
Yes, “Karma” is ‘one’ of the bitches involved at any rate!
Debbie Wassman-Schultz deserves everything she gets.
She should have let things play out fairly.
Agreed….but then that is why she had the job…to be sure Hill got what she wanted….chuq
True
She is getting her comeuppance but she is still acting like she is entitled. I don’t think she gets it. She is someone who doesn’t get subtlety. She needs to be taken off the floor.
Also agree….she should be held in contempt and never see the floor of the House again…chuq
Guess what! I heard that she has now been taken in by … wait for it … wait for it …. The Clingon Campaign. Can you believe it? If that is true is it an act of approval and acceptance or not?
I have written about it….does not surprise me at all…she like Kaine have been in the Clinton pocket for years….she will be working for the campaign as soon as the convention is over…officially working….that is…..
the Ping is much appreciated….chuq
Y’know, up to now, I always enjoyed going to see the circus. This is NOT entertaining at all…. Not only is it a parade of intransigence and perversion of principle, but, there’s no lions, or tigers, just a horde of ignorant monkeys….
gigoid, the dubious
Chimps flinging crap at the people…sounds like every convention in the last 50 years….chuq
FINALLY the real definition of POLITICS. LOVED the Post!!!
And, thanks for the share.
My pleasure…..
