fargo center monday. a battle seems to be brewing between clinton clinton and sanders on how impartial the democratic primary really was. wikile wikileaks released documents that show democratic party officials were actively trying to hurt sanders campaign and actively helping clintons. he said this could make it harder to promote unity at the dnc. in one of the e-mails a top dnc official seems to want to use sanders religious beliefs against him. brad marshall wrote the democratic party should get someone to ask if sanders believed in god. saying he had skated on saying he was of jewish heritage. marshall apologized on facebook, saying i deeply regret that my sensitive, emotional e-mails would cause

embarrassment to the dnc. donald trump reacted on the controversy on twitter today saying, leaked e-mails of dnc show plans to destroy bernie sanders, mocked his heritage and much more. really vicious, rigged. and, of course, bernie sanders is set to speak at the dnc on monday. tonight his supporters reacted to the news of the leak of those 20,000 e-mails. >> to be honest, i wasn't surprised, this had election has been rigged against bernie sanders. the dnc have not been supporting him. >> sanders supporters plan to hold protests in philadelphia over the next several days. the official 2016 democratic ticket debuted today in miami, florida. hillary clinton introduced virginia senator tim kaine as
