#DNCLeak: As DNC Kicks Off, Sanders Camp Demands Someone Be ‘Held Accountable’ For Sabotage Emails

After Wikileaks dropped a bombshell by releasing almost 20,000 hacked DNC emails, the Bernie Sanders campaign is not happy. Many of these emails proved that there was a concerted effort to stop Sanders from winning the nomination, including a possible effort to question his faith.

“Someone does have to be held accountable,” said campaign manager Jeff Weaver to ABC News, adding:

….

What these emails show is a clear attempt to squash the candidacy of Sanders in order to help the “establishment” favorite, Hillary Clinton. “Everything our fans have been saying — and they were beaten down for and called conspiracy theorists — and now it’s in black and white.” said another member of Sanders’ campaign, Rania Batrice.

Attention is now being focused on DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who Sanders had previously called on to resign. Just days before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, the chairwoman is seen more as a figure of disunity than unity and she will no longer be speaking at the convention.

The leaked emails also showed an attempt to target Sanders on his religion, a topic politicians always avoid attacking each other on. CFO of the DNC Brad Marshal wrote in an email in May:

“It might may [sic] no difference, but for KY and WA can we get someone to ask his belief? Does he believe in God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My southern baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.”

All in all, this shows just how slimy the DNC has been. While the Republican Party has struggled with disunity, the Democrats appear to be competing to see who can fall apart the fastest. It will be interesting to see how this carries over into Philadelphia. Will Sanders delegates revolt? Will Sanders give a speech to the Democrats much like the one Ted Cruz gave to Republicans? What looked to be an easy week for Democrats just got exponentially more difficult.
