Maria Cardona Dodges on Who Is the Leader of the Democrats: We Are Focused on Moving Forward

‘We need to focus on implementing new rules and guidelines to make sure the DNC is a place that people trust’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARDONA: "We sure are focusing on moving forward. Right now, as you know, the head of the DNC is chairman Tom Pettis. He actually put out sort of new rules and regulations and things he is implementing moving forward to make sure that everything that the DNC does has both the reality, as well as the perception of neutrality. I do think that one of the things that Donna brings up is — I don’t agree with her that service rigged and even she, herself, says that the processes themselves, the votes, the primaries, the caucuses, you know, nothing was messed with. Every single vote in there was fair and square and Hillary Clinton won by 4 million. But that the perception, even the perception of the fact that people feel perhaps that it was not fair, that they were not treated fairly, that their voices were not heard, does hurt Democrats moving forward. And I think that is the kind of thing that Democrats need to focus on. We need to focus on new — implementing new rules and guidelines to make sure the DNC is a place that people trust. Everybody’s voices are heard, where the processes are fair and equal and neutral for every single candidate and that is exactly what chairman Pettis is focused on doing with the rest of the DNC members moving forward."
