Pelosi Calls Sanders Supporters’ Complaints About DNC ‘Legitimate’

Posted on 07/26/2016 8:03:48 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) allowed that supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have a “legitimate complaint” about the way the Democratic National Committee treated him during the primary race.

Yet she pointed to the concessions made at this week's Philadelphia convention to assuage their concerns and the high stakes of this election to urge them to get behind Hillary Clinton.

“In terms of how he has been treated at this point, they should have no complaint and many of them are declaring victory in that regard,” Pelosi said on MSNBC Monday night.

DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) stepped down and was kept from gaveling the convention in on Monday, and Sanders’ opening night speaking spot was rescheduled for prime time.

All they are doing is using that airhead DWS as a lightning rod to take the focus off the criminal enterprise they are foisting off on the public.

What, we won’t have to vote for the Democrat before we can know what’s in the emails?

Oh ... yeah, the DNC may have been responsible for the emails but they’ve lost control of the big reveal....

LOL of course it is and thats why shes doing it. Lip service will be paid, the media will report it and nothing more will be done. The fly in that ointment is Bernie’s overly persistent supporters. They demand to be heard and will continue the grousing. THe only hope for that is to make sure the media doesnt give them air time.

That’s the same basic tactic they take when keeping any of their constituencies in line....

We know you’ve been lied to, cheated, ignored, used, taken for granted, etc., etc., but we promise to do better next time and by the way, the Republicans are evil demons who want to poison the air and water and kill old people so you have no choice but to support us.

She knows what she's doing. Acknowledge their complaint as valid, then point to a past action (firing DWS) as remediation for it. Point to Bernie saying all is well (ignore bribes, etc) and tell the BernieTards to fall in line. Most of them will, they are stoopid and the DNC is counting on it.

Classic 101.

Depends on what you mean by, "alive"?

The sacrificial lamb was already dead so the effort was barely window dressing

to remedy the debacle, the DNC is playing the race card dredging up negro women to put on display to remind that it is all about guilt.

LOL! Old survivor mode kicking in. She intends to weather the storm, no matter what happens to her party. She probably will, horrible old strega that she is.

Agreed. They just want everyone to forget how they got their, the abuse and bias, etc., and just support the new chosen one, Hillary Clinton. Ain’t working so far. But I suspect that after a bunch of venting, many will do as the party wants. Sheep doing as told, scared by stories of Trump.
