bernie sanders wants to beat debbie wasserman schultz. wasn't a bernie sanders district in the primary. are you in the right district for this kind of campaign? >> absolutely. we have more donations in the state of florida than does debbie wasserman schultz. we have plenty of people who voted for hillary clinton who are joining up on our campaign. i'm sure debbie wasserman schultz wants to believe this is a proxy fight and that she can count on every hillary clinton voter. she will be mistaken if that is her belief. >> what is the message that you have separate from complaints that bernie sanders and bernie sanders campaign might have. what is your case against debbie wasserman schultz? >> she ignored recommend azs from constituents. this was fact checked by miami herald. she has been voting for their interests over interests of constituents. she has become increasingly unpopular. issue after issue she is on the wrong side of it, pay day loans, regulations of wall street, drug war, even support for israel people don't know where she stand

debbie wasserman schultz. when doug hughes, the gyrocopter guy got out of that congressional race in anticipation of his sentencing to prison last month, he got out of the race against debbie wasserman schultz and threw his support, instead, to another challenger who is running against her in the democratic primary. he threw his support to tim canova. and it is tim canova's campaign to unseat debbie wasserman schultz in her home district, that is the race that sent up the rocket's red glare in democratic politics this weekend. >> you've been calling for a revolution. in florida, are you with wasserman schultz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly, i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than is wasserman schultz's. and let me also say this with all due respect to the current chairman, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> senator bernie sanders this weekend, taking time off from running for president to throw his support behind the non-gyrocopter

i'll say if the first quarter we received more donations from the state of florida than debbie wasserman schultz being here. we do invite and want debbie wasserman schultz to come on and talk about the race. >>> joining me now to untake the radio show and mark caputo, senior writer for politico. i'll start with you fernand. the fund-raising -- actually, mark. this big fund-raising, small dollar donations, is this a new democratic model even in the state like florida? >> what tim canova has done here is crazy. he's taken on the democratic national chair in a primary and raised $1 million in five months. a political unknown. certainly, you can tell by wasserman schultz's react with steve, and the fact that she's not on the show it's a pretty good indication that she's nervous. >> and what do the numbers say about whether or not tim canova could unseat the dnc chair? >> well, joy, the truth is there are no poll numbers. there is yet to be a public poll released. right now, debbie wasserman schultz, a heavy favorite of the district she's represented for many years. one thing is clear, 2016 thunder d

thanks for having me on, jim. >> you have come out publicly in support of the dnc chairwoman, debbie wasserman schultzu don't believe that replacing schultz would solve anything. why is that? >> look, i have two concerns, jim. first, debbie wasserman schultz is not the issue. democratic party unity is the issue. and for as long as we are divided on who is chairing the dnc, we're not united. we have to consolidate our vote. donald trump is out there, he's cleared the field, he's just wailing away at hillary clinton. and we shouldn't be talking about who the next chair of the dnc is. we ought to be talking about issues that count. which brings me to my second concern. i represent the quintessential competitive moderate section of new york. if i walk into a diner and say what's your position on who the dnc chair would be, one, why is my hamburger so expensive, two, why is there so much traffic and three, why aren't you talking about how to defeat the head of isis. for as long as we're debating this issue of who the dnc chair is, we're not connecting with the american people. >> so to be fair, back and fo

other democratic senators are not willing to throw debbie wasserman schultz a lifeline either. lked to chuck schumer, the number three democrat and the presumive leader in the next congress and i said do you have confidence in debbie wasserman schultz as the chairwoman and he said no comment and that speaks volumes on their confidence in debbie wasserman schultz. >> i know we're hearing from the clinton campaign that she, clinton, supports debbie wasserman schultz, but you would think that someone who is so tied to the campaign isn't exactly doing this in a vacuum, right? >> reporter: you would think that. she says she's acting as most senators do as an independent agent but clearly as we move forward, the hillary clinton camp is going to have to consider this going forward as they discuss with bernie sanders the way his role at the convention and try to alleviate the concerns from the sanders' camp. you have to think that this is on clinton campaign's mind because, after all, they are the ones at the end of the day that are going to make this decision. brianna? >> manu, thank y

debbie wasserman-schultz, we could have a long conversation just about debbie wasserman-schultz and how she's throwing shade on the sanders campaign since the beginning whether it was the debate schedule that were few and far between when no one is watching, whether they shut off the sanders access to his own data and sue them in federal court to get it back and whether it was the joint fund raising agreements with the hillary clinton campaign taking money away and sending it to the dnc and look, it's not, i got to say, it's not the dnc. by and large, people in the dnc have been very good to us. debbie wasserman-schultz is really the exception. >> what's your response to that? he accuses you of throwing shade at the bernie sanders campaign. you're the exception, he says. >> yeah. my response to that is #smh. if we're going to talk about that comment about throwing shade. we need to focus on one thing. get through this primary and work to prepare for the general election and make sure we can continue to draw the contrast between either one of our really fine candidates who are focused on

the hill is reporting that some democrats on capitol hill are talking about booting debbie wasserman schultz. there is fear within some democratic circles that she has become too divisive and cannot unify the already very splintered democratic party. supporters of senator bernie sanders say wasserman schultz has tilted the scales in favor of secretary clinton. democratic strategist joe trippi goes "on the record." good evening, joe. >> good evening. >> okay okay, joe. so what's the problem here? >> it's been a tough back and forth primary. and debbie wasserman schultz, the chair, has become a lightning rod for a lot of the anger on the bernie sanders side and his supporters. i mean, when he has been talking about it's all rigged, you know, she is the chair of the party. so there is clearly animosity and division there the question is, look, we need a unified party, is she so much of a lightning rod that she has become sort of decisive figure. in other words, tougher for her to unify. but, look, it's really rare for either party to change chairs at this point in a nomination fight and in a ge

even some hillary clinton supporters seem to be unnerved about debbie wasserman schultz. to talk to claire mccaskill, a leading hillary clinton supporter about debbie wasserman schultz's rule and did not call on her to step aside but came right up to it. >> i think this will get worked out over time. the role of dnc chair is always a supportive role, not a starring role and i think because of what has occurred, it's hard for her to avoid a starring role. and so i hope it will all get worked out. i understand that fair or unfair, she has seen by many in the sanders camp as a representative of the problem and you know, it may not be completely fair to her but it's a reality. >> so sort of a gentle nudging from clair mcccaskill there. some said she may be too toxic come july. there are others that do support debbie wasserman schultz, nancy pelosi supports her staying in that role and other senators have suggested that as well. of course members of congress don't make that decision, hillary clinton's campaign would make that decision assuming she gets that nomination. so we'll

specifically with debbie wasserman schultz. as that there are very real conversations going on but among democratic senators about whether or not maybe it would be a good idea for debbie wasserman schultz to step down before the convention for one reason and one reason only, to try to keep calm and keep philadelphia where the convention will be free of chaos. and that was after a concern about what happened in nevada and the back and forth that you just played here. number one, senators don't decide whether or not the democratic party party is there or not and there's a lot of support for debbie wasserman schultz. nancy pelosi put out a strong statement of support and others have as well. it is ultimately going to be up to hillary clinton's campaign what happens at the democratic national committee assuming she does formally get the number of delegates going forward. >> this is certainly not the rhetoric that the dnc wants out there. could this help fuel donald trump's fire? >> it could. at this point this seems to be an intrade

democratic leader next comment, said no comment when i asked him do you have confidence in debbie wasserman schultz like claire mccaskill who i spoke about earlier said debbie wasserman schultz needs to think about her role going forward viewing that the bernie sanders campaign clears her as a problem. a lot of anxiety in the democratic circles but not the democrats on capitol hill's decision, both decision and hillary clinton's campaign, assuming she gets the nomination, wolf. >> and i assume the president of the united states will have something to say about all of this as well. manu, thank you very much. >>> in japan right now on the second leg of his historic asia trip president obama is making amends and expressed regret for the murder of a young japanese woman for which a u.s. civilian base worker has been charged. >> i want to emphasize that the united states is appalled by any violent crime that may have occurred or been carried out by any u.s. personnel or u.s. contractors. we consider it inexcuse able, and we are committed to doing everything that we can to prevent any crimes from taking

of animus, frustration, object of their who the establishment is, from hillary clinton to debbie wasserman schultz. which make at lot of sense in ways. a, they can win fights against debbie wasserman schultz. b, if you're going to try to unite people behind hillary clinton, she's a much better bad guy, essentially, to be up against. >> yeah. i mean, look. it's an easier fight to have, as you said, with the dnc. which is not just debbie wasserman schultz. it's kind of a faceless thing. when we say people don't like congress. people don't like the dnc. >> right, who likes the dnc? >> nobody really likes the dnc except maybe superdelegates and the the like. i think that the other political theory behind this is that the more progressive you can make the democratic party on paper as an official party, the more, if not locks hillary clinton in then at least pulls her towards that as the standard for what being a democrat actually is. >> and there's also -- i mean, campaigns need enemies. that's how campaigning works. you're fighting someone. and that's what energizes people. it strikes me today, i had

tell me what pelosi has to say about debbie wasserman schultz. >> reporter: the eidea debbie wassermanchultz has not been doing a good job, of being a neutral arbiter and a lot of democrats have lost faith in her as the chairwoman of the dnc especially ahead of what needs to be a cumbaya as they face donald trump come november. take a listen. >> chairwoman wasserman schultz has the respect of her colleagues for her leadership inside the party and during the election in november. >> reporter: so there is pelosi doubling down on her support of schultz. what was interesting, though, andrea, is that pelosi said the unease from both the bernie camp and the hillary camp about this process should probably force the democratic party to look at how delegates are allocated in the future and reminded reporters she's been oppose d t super delegates so you might see changes on the horizon. as for what it means for wasserman schultz, unclear right now. there are reports schumer was asked whether he had faith in her on the senate side. a story still very much in flux. >> that's hardly a ringing endor

--k about debbie wasserman debbie wasserman schultz and her influence. >> there has been a lot of controversyut the leadership of debbie wasserman schultz over the democratic national committee. one kind of contract here is that, just as obama pushed to reform the dnc current when he became the nominee in 2008, he of limited ethics rules that prevented federal lobbyists from donating to the dnc or the party convention. debbie wasserman schultz has quietly repealed those ethics rules. now lobbyists can again donate to the party. last fall, debbie wasserman schultz convened a meeting with a number of lobbyists and reportedly handed out a menu of options saying, if you get varying amounts of money, lobbyists and windsor types of influence at the convention. the role of money in politics, which is the of the campaign theme in the presidential primaries, we are seeing that come into focus with the tension between debbie wasserman schultz in the bernie sanders campaign. amy: and you bernie sanders choosing five people for the platform committee, among them well,l west, jim zogby as bill mckibben --

with dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz saying sanders is adding fuel to the fire. swoman debbie wasser m eerman schultz. always good to have you on "new day." what is the state of play within your party? >> the state of the play within the party is really the same as it has been. we are at the narrow end of the funnel of our democratic primary, and we have a number of primaries to go, and that primary will continue to play out. we are preparing for the general election, and at the end, when we have one candidate and a presumptive nominee i'm confident we'll be able to unify, because there is a dramatically stark contrast between either one of our candidates, both of whom have focused on how to help people build on the success we've had under president obama and reach the middle class, and donald trump who is saying he's drag us backwards, back to the same policies that crashed the economy, has no foreign policy experience, and is the most misogynistic and bigoted candidate that is also the most unpopular presidential candidate in history. a pretty stark contrast. >>

those are the very ones he is attacking. >> debbie wasserman schultz is a superdelegate. >> exactly. egates are her people. >> but it's interesting, because part of the bill of particulars against debbie wasserman schultz actually goes beyond just the things that bernie sanders' campaign is saying about her throwing shade. jeff weaver used the phrase throwing shade. bill moyers says the following. she embodies the tactics that have eroded the ability of democrats to once again be the party of the working class. as democratic national committee chair she has opened the flood gads to big money, brought lobbyists into the inner circle and oiled all of the parts of the revolving door that twirlz between government service and cushy jobs. >> in in cases it's not wrong. now it's almost limitless where it wasn't under previous leadership. what's interesting too is she has very few friends within the establishment and i think that's what the challenge is. bernie is basically flexing his muscle, but you don't see so many people saying no, no, defending her. >> how can she be establishment and

debbie wasserman schultz has not been neutral.he has clearly been for hillary although she insists publicly that she's neutral. sanders has a legitimate gripe perhaps and the delegate rules which he is a symbol i guess certainly favor hillary because of the super delegate presence which is so important in the democratic race. my sense about it is that it is kind of a double standard at work, priebus gets criticized for doing what everybody wishes debbie wasserman schultz was doing on the democratic side. >> let's look back at what happened last saturday in the nevada convention. where bernie sanders supporters thought that they were being treated unfairly, they started throwing chairs, they were threatening the republican -- not the republican -- sorry. they were threatening the democratic nevada chair. if this had been trump supporters do this, juan, what would the narrative in the media have been? >> it would have been, i think, even larger. that's not to say that this was ignored. this has gotten a lot of attention. >> it wasn'

reporter: wa debbie wasserman-schultz is on thin ice in her home state of florida. lied progress said it will launch a 6-figure ad attack against debbie wasserman-schultz and her support for payday lenders. >> she is taking money from private prisons, supporting the war on drugs and mass incarcerations. reporter: these new ads talk about payday lending. could wasserman-shultz be the one who loses during election season? >> it's possible. there is talk of trying to get her out before the convention and this is a direct result of bernie sanders. this is where the real warfare is going. he picked 8 candidates that he would help raise funds for. he doesn't understand that down ballot matters. debbie wasserman-schultz has gotten herself into a bunch of messes. i think the republicans do there is right and vines prebus is not an elected official. i think she is in a lot of the trouble. reporter: is this threat to debbie wasserman-schultz if she loses, is it throwing red meat to the republicans? >> it shows how weak a candidate hillary clinton is. debbie wasserman-schultz i

to debbie wasserman schultz. >> to debbie! whoo! that was "saturday night live" once again, having some fun with the democratic presidential race. all joking aside, the sanders campaign has repeatedly accused debbie wasserman-schultz of rigging the process in favor of hillary clinton. now bernie sanders is taking that feud with the dnc chair to a whole new level. on sunday, sanders was asked if he supports debbie wasserman schultz's primary challenger in florida tim canova. >> clearly i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than wasserman schultz's. let me also say this, in all due respect to the current chairperson. if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> right after that interview, the sanders campaign sent out a fundraising blast for canova that read, on issues like making tuition free at public colleges and reforming our broken campaign finance system, he is someone you can be proud to support. that's why bernie is endorsing tim's campaign. canova's campaign then raised $250,

i told you that debbie wasserman schultz has the respect of her colleagues in the house for her hard o unify and to win the elections. >> nancy pelosi might be one of the few democrat whose has debbie wasserman schultz's back at least publicly. more and more democrats on capitol hill have been discussing whether to push her out of the chairmanship ahead of july's convention as a way to mollify bernie sanders supporters. wasserman schultz is not granting tv interviews about the matter. we asked her to join us this week and she declined. but she did tell the "washington examiner" on wednesday she is not at all distracted by the criticism. just in covering the sanders campaign, is anything short of debbie wasserman schultz's ouster going to calm the sanders forces ahead of the convention? >> i think that anything short of that is going to continue what we see now which is really a lot of dysfunction and anger coming out of the sanders campaign. he's already said publicly that if i'm the president, i will remove her and i think that anything short of her kind of leaving, it can continue -

that's the story i wrote, what it's about. >> debbie wasserman schultz, the sanders campaign, they have vociferously criticized her throughout this process. she only had a few debates. they said she was trying to insulate, protect hillary clinton. over the weekend, debbie wasserman schultz is getting a primary challenge in her house district back in florida. it's attracted a lot of financial support from sanders people. and bernie sanders was asked, do you support that challenger. this is what he said. >> in florida, are you with wasserman schultz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than is wasserman schultz's. let me also say this in all due respect to the current chairperson, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> let us talk -- how big a deal is this? >> this is a really big deal. this is not the sanders -- this is not bernie sanders saying he's upset with debbie wasserman schultz, doesn't like the way she runs the party. he's saying i want her gone, and i'm going to use my influ

in an interview, bernie sanders said he'll back debbie wasserman schultz's a opponent. >> congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz has not been neutral in her position as chair. your campaign manager, jeff weaver in particular, has been very critical. she is being challenged right now in a primary by tim canavoa. he opposes the pacific trade deal. he supports you. he has raised $1 million. you've been calling for a revolution in florida. are you with wasserman schultz or are you with her opponent? >> well, clearly, i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than is wasserman schultz's. and let me also say this. in all due respect to the chairperson, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the d in. c. >> in response, wasserman schultz says, quote, even thoep san tore sanders i remain as i have from the beginning neutral in the presidential primary. i look forward to looking together with him for democratic victories in the fall. bernie sanders is jake tapper's guest later this morning. you can watch it at 9:00 a.m. eastern right here on cnn. >>> this

>> debbie wasserman schultz has failed to represent her district.he has been distracted to say the least with her duties as chair of the democratic national committee she has not performed that well as share of the dnc. we see how divisive she has been. not doing well representing her district like we said. on issue after issue, she has been taking a lot of special interest money. she is a political inside his or her looks out for her own interests before those of her constituents. >> what do you think is one of the worst things about her? the critics say look, she is in the bag for hillary clinton. she has not been fair. a lot of the sanders supporters feel alienated and the fix is in. >> well, it's certainly interesting how few debates that she scheduled for the presidential primary. and she has been dodging debates against me as well. just last week she got a local union friend of hers, dan reynolds to try to engineer an endorsement from the central labor council without ever screening anyone. so, it's a perverse view of democracy when you can ha

to debbie wasserman schultz. >> to debbie. >> reporter: sanders has also blamed wasserman schultz for limiting many of the debates and holding them on weekends. wasserman schultz called sanders an instigator of his supporters disrupted a convention. has this incident tested the fragile detente between the sanders' campaign and democratic leaders. >> i can tell you that i'm not doing anything to discourage the senator from continuing his campaign. >> reporter: today she did announce that sanders will get to name five of the 15 members of the committee that will draft the democratic party platform for the convention. sanders also wants one more debate against clinton in california, but so far he has no answer. >> o'donnell: nancy cordes, thank you. the top u.s. military commander for the middle east made a secret visit to syria over the weekend. army general joseph votel met with rebels and kurds fighting the assad regime and isis. today isis unleashed a series of bomb blasts along syria's mediterranean coast. more than 120 people were killed. elizabeth palmer reports isis hoped to ratt

over the weekend, that came in the form of bernie sanders speaking out against debbie wasserman schultz. he endorsed her opponent in her race. here's what she told jake tapper. >> i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine as wasserman schultz. let me say this to the current chairperson. if elected president, they would not be reelected as chairperson of the dnc. >> reporter: now wasserman schultz spoke out. she intends to remain neutral in the primary process. >>> new polls show hillary clinton in a dead heat with donald trump. in the wall street journal/nbc poll, trump gains four points over clinton from last month. putting him in a statistical tie. and the new abc poll shows trump 46% to 44% ahead. this as clinton called him dangerous over the weekend. >> i do not want americans and good thinking republicans as well as democrats and independents to start to believe that this is a normal candidacy. it isn't. what he is advocating. look what he has done this week. attacking our closest ally. england. heaping praise on a dictator in north korea. talking about other countrie

let's not forget, just two years ago president obama quietly was trying to oust debbie wasserman schultzd what debbie wasserman schultz did was she created a whole team of surrogates to go out there and claim that president obama was being antisemitic and antiwoman. so that kept her in charge. this is not how a chair should be acting. they should talk about unifying the party. the democratic convention committees were staffed, not one person under the age of 3445. majority of veterans are under the age of 45. >> a lot of surprises coming from the democratic side in nomiki today. brie, i owe you next time. sorry. we had a lot of breaking news today. . >>> in the bathroom battle as we just learned, ten states are now joining texas today. they have just filed that lawsuit against the white house's sweeping transgender directive for public schools. why they are going to court to fight that directive. we'll have a legal debate right after this. >> the law is very clear. there's nothing in the law that allows for these guidelines. there's no allowing of the change of definition. congress is th

be chair of the dnc. >> joining me now, tim ka know va, the man challenging congresswoman debbie wasserman schultzeat to have you on "the real story." why is debbie wasserman schultz unfit to serve in your mind? >> i think she's been around for a while and she's seen increasingly as a political insider who's not representing the interests of her constituents all that well. >> i just want to interrupt for a minute. one thing that bernie sanders is really upset about is that he feels like she has been behind this sort of establishment movement to favor hillary clinton. would you agree with that? >> well, that's a hard one to say. let me put it this way. when you look at her tenure as head of the democratic national committee, one of the big decisions she made was to overturn president obama's 2008 ban on corporate lobbyist donations to the d idnc. then we learn that 60 or 70 delegates are corporate lobbyists. that's problematic. you wonder what the agenda is of superdelegates when they're not even leaked representatives and not beholden to the american people. >> the american people are scratching t

it is not just personal dispute between debbie wasserman schultz. now you told me a second ago it sounds like bernie sanders did get -- did he or did he not get a fair shake? >> in nevada? >> in his campaign. >> we have competed in some 40 states. we have had very good relationship with state parties all across this country. the one case we funded the state party because it didn't have the resources to put on caucuses. hillary clinton refused to help them. we have had dispute with one state party at this level, nevada state party. nevada centric issue where the chair put in temporary rules that were designed to stifle debate. they were implemented over a negative voice vote from the floor and unappealable decision. let's not confuse what went on in nevada with a broader issue. we have had great relationship with state parties across the country skblmpt it if we get to the end of the process hillary clinton has the delegates to be the democratic nominee are you going to tell supporters we gave it our best. it was a fair process. she won, we lost. >>

you know, laughing that you know, they have got to get rid of debbie wasserman-schultz.ng it as comedy on "snl" -- >> you know you jumped the shark. melissa: yeah. >> i think part of what we've seen in 2016, all uniqueness of this presidential election cycle we've gotten a real tutorial how the nomination process works for both democrats and republicans. i think up until recently, a lot of people, even party activists didn't necessarily know the intricacies how the convention process and delegate process worked. the folks that were aware of it, not particularly happy about it. the more it became more prevalent in the media, people became increasingly more angry about it. i think the big challenge that hillary clinton is going to have at this point, bernie sanders can't get out, frankly because, that is only going to anger his supporters even more. melissa: right. >> the question becomes how does she get the supporters? she can't do it without the fullbacking of bernie. bernie obviously has no intention to do that anytime soon. here we are facing chaos in philadelphia whe

here's bernie sanders talking about dnc chairman debbie wasserman schultz. arly his views are much closer to mine than i was debbie wasserman schultz. let me also say this in all due respect to the current chairperson, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. stuart: bernie sanders has endorsed debbie wasserman schultz opponent in the fourth time in congressional election because they are all going to be reelected in november. he has endorsed debbie wasserman schultz opponent of the carter is with us from the landscape partners. he also said if elected, he would remove her from the debbie wasserman schultz and the dnc. how do you recognize the two sides? bernie sanders versus debbie wasserman schultz, versus hillary, that is a schism and a half. how do you bring them together? >> better now. the bottom line is this. it's not even saying it's about winning. he is saying this is about changing the party as we know it. he's antiestablishment to a score in a say in this is not right. he's taken that not just hillary. he's taken t

jamie, sanders campaign manager jeff weaver getting mad at debbie wasserman-schultz kind of taking therunt of this anger. let's listen what he had to say. >> we can have a long conversation just about debbie wasserman-schultz and how she has been throwing shade on the sanders campaign since the very beginning. whether it was debate schedule, that were very few and far between and scheduled on weekends when nobody is watching. whether they shut off sanders access to the own data and we had to sue them in federal court to get it back. joint fund-raising agreements with hillary clinton campaign, taking money away from state parties to send it to the dnc. melissa: he has a fair point. others in the media called for debbie wasserman-schultz to resign because she is supposed to represent the party, not one candidate of the party but fair play to get the party's nomination. jamie has she done that? >> i mean there is no question that he is right that debbie wasserman-schultz has been tilting the scales towards hillary clinton. she was obviously pro-hillary clinton. the debate schedules are pe
