“Shame!” people in the room jeered as the congresswoman addressed a Monday breakfast of the Florida delegation. “Shame!”

It was a cringe-worthy, nationally televised spectacle that exposed deep divisions within the Democratic Party and reopened raw wounds from the Hillary Clinton-Bernie Sanders primary battles. By the afternoon, Wasserman Schultz had disappeared here in Philadelphia, after also giving up her speaking slot and her ceremonial role gaveling the convention to order.

Brazile said she has been apologizing to Sanders’s advisers and to disgruntled party donors. “I’ve told them that we will make sure our system gets better, make sure our practices get better and make sure our email gets more secure,”

As Debbie Blabbermouth exited the hall to boos & catcalls, the band was playing the “Mayonnaise”.

“Emails more secure”- LOL

You know... Since Loretta lynch-pin- SEALED all the
Bill and Hitlerly “foundation” -emails...

Wonder if they were also Breached.. and will be published?

After all, we now know her server was compromised- dumb ass
probably kept the same password for EVERY account she ever
had- plus having known traitors working for Hitlerly-
surprised we are not being attacked as we speak.... oh wait we are—

The biggest scandal to twist the knife- ALL of THE MSM
are in on the deception- I believe some BIG repug names
will also be added!- thank you wikileaks

I cant figure out if sarah silverman forgot it was live or if she just gave up while they were waiting for paul simon. It gave bernies crowd time to create chaos

The best comment included the point that the Washington Post article was probably vetted by the DNC.

So I have an idea for the MSM—print, TV, etal.

Every article, TV news story, blog post should have a check box at the top:

“This story has been cleared for distribution by the Democratic National Committee Yes No”

This is from the Clinton Foundation archives.

"“I can see their claiming foul, but maybe they should have early on had some overture and closeness to the DNC by having people connected there over the years,” said William M. Daley, a former White House chief of staff to President Obama. “Because he never ran as a Democrat, there was no connection, whereas the Clintons for the last 25 years have had hundreds of people on the DNC, staffing the DNC, fundraising for the DNC.”"

Yea, that will HEAL things.

We need more leaked emails, hundreds if not thousands, all showing the corruption and illegal activities of those who call themselves demodummies. I hope Russia awakens and sends them soon.
