DNC chair dropped from convention following Wikileaks release of emails

  • 8 years ago
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chair of the Democratic National Commitee, will not speak at next week’s Democratic National Convention after a massive email leak left the party accused of bias, according to a CNN report.
The move is in response to thousands of emails published through WikiLeaks which depict the Democratic party of trying to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ candidacy.
A Democratic insider told CNN that Schultz has been dropped from the lineup to “keep the peace” within the party, amid calls from Sanders’ campaign manager for someone at the DNC to be “held accountable” for the anti-Sanders collusion seen in the leaked emails.
