DNC Chair Hits Sanders for Response to Nevada Chaos: ‘Anything But Acceptable’

DNC Chair Roasts Sanders for Response to Nevada Uproar: ‘Anything But Acceptable’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) called out Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) Tuesday for his response to the chaos caused by his supporters at the Nevada Democratic Convention.

In an interview with CNN, Schultz said that Sanders’ unapologetic statement after the convention devolved into chair-throwing, screaming and fighting was “anything but acceptable.”

“Unfortunately the senator’s response was anything but acceptable,” she said. “It certainly did not condemn his supporters for acting violently or engaging in intimidation tactics and instead added more fuel to the fire … You can be frustrated with the process, but in the United States of America, and especially in the Democratic Party, it is never appropriate to act in any way other than civilly and in an orderly fashion.”
