Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver claimed that Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. [crscore]Debbie Wasserman Schultz[/crscore] is not being fair because she is putting her “fingers on the scale” and not allowing the people to decide the outcome for the Democratic Party.
Appearing on CNN’s “The Lead” with Jake Tapper on Wednesday, Weaver said, “It’s not acceptable to use threats or vulgarities but there’s a tremendous amount of frustration out there and people want to have a fair process. That’s what they are asking for in Nevada. They just wanted to have a fair process, have the votes, allow their motions on the floor to be offered as are often the case at conventions, have votes on them; if they win they win, if they lose, they lose.” (RELATED: Sanders Campaign Manager: DNC Chair Is ‘Working Against’ Sanders For ‘Personal Reasons’ [VIDEO])
“But when you shut down the process so you can strong arm it, it obviously creates frustration, particularly from people in Nevada for instance who have seen a series of these types of things happening, including at the Clark County convention recently where the party almost had its own credentials chair arrested for being too fair to the Bernie people,” Weaver claimed. “So this is a history there, Jake. It’s not just to one incident. So all anybody is asking for is fairness, have an open process. If you win you win, if you lose, you lose.”
“But let’s have a fair process,” Weaver said. “Let’s not put our fingers on the scale, like Debbie Wasserman Schultz has. Let’s let the people decide.”
