CBS5 SF Bay Area reports the leak includes emails from DNC’s top brass: Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, chairperson; Erik Stowe, the northern California finance director; Luis Miranda, communications director; Jordon Kaplan, national finance director; Scott Comer, finance chief of staff; Daniel Parrish, finance director of data & strategic initiatives; finance director Allen Zachary and senior advisor Andrew Wright. The emails, dating between January and May, allegedly show that the DNC encouraged news outlets to downplay Sanders in the media, encouraged false stories to be told about the campaign (such as the “chair throwing” incident at a convention in Nevada) and used the power of the DNC to further the candidate’s position in the primaries. Some netizens have taken offense to Sanders’ supporters being referred to as “insurgents” and others are even calling for Sanders to take back his endorsement of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

New #Wikileaks email dump shows the DNC and @DWStweets encouraged media to discredit Bernie Sanders. #DNCLeaks https://t.co/bNrafTzfqj

From what I’m seeing in these #DNCLeaks, @DWStweets needs to resign as DNC chairwoman…and probably her congressional seat too.

Also keep in mind for all of you idiots saying “Bernie sold out” it’s clear with these leaks that’s not even remotely possible. #DNCleaks

So the DNC actively colluded against @BernieSanders while calling his supporters paranoid and delusional for suggesting they were #DNCLeaks

We all knew that there was no way @HillaryClinton could win fairly and #DNCLeaks just proves it. A liar and a cheat. Never my POTUS.

If you consider yourself a “progressive” and you’re still voting for Democrats after the #DNCleaks, well, then you’re not a “progressive.”
