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

you have debbie wasserman schultz.really for what his supporters did in nevada. there was some chaos there and now you have some senators who are talking about removing her from the dnc. are you seeing this as really a groundswell, like do you really think that debbie wasserman schultz could be on her way out? >> i wouldn't call it a groundswell, but i definitely based on my reporting, jeff's reporting and others here would call it a real conversation and it really does go to the heart -- i mean, there's lots of issues and lots of -- several sort of factions of democrats have different issues with her, but when it comes to the current moment in time it is all about bernie sanders and about the fact that he has been at war with her since the beginning of his candidacy. did not think that the party treated him fairly when it came to the scheduling of the debates, how many debates there were and many other issues. so, what we are certainly hearing, both from senators on capitol hill is -- and others is maybe some tepid su

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

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

a, they can win fights against debbie wasserman schultz.e 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 this moment of, right, maybe that's how this sort of ends is that this is the enemy. >> right, this is the

specifically with debbie wasserman schultz.was 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 intrad

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 influence to get her gone because beyond that comment he made with jake tapper, he also sent out a fund-raising e-mail to all of his millions of donors asking them to give money to help defeat debbie wasserman schultz in a primary. this is before he goes to a convention run by debbie wasserman schultz as the dnc chair and tries to have influence over the party process there. this is a really big deal, and it's one that during the course of our reporting, for the story that we put out on sunday, it wasn't clear what sanders wanted to do. this sends a much stronger message that he's

endorsing debbie wasserman schultz's primary opponent, same thing. with chair schultz this week. she was not that worried about this. here's a technical point. it's really hard technically to remove a democratic party chair and appoint a new one. there are 441 members of the de democratic party who have votes and they actually elect the party chair. the president can make a recommendation. so to go through removing a party chair, selecting a new party chair and to do all that in the next 60 days before the convention would in fact, what happens at the convention, the new nominee gets to place his or her people into the committee and they end up making most of the decisions. i'm not sure it's a fight anybody's ready to have. >> at the same time, though, you have all these headlines that kim out this past week about democrats on capitol hill actually discussing whether it might be better to just go ahead and do it. she doesn't seem to have a lot of organic support, debbie wasserman schultz, and it does feel like there's so much criticism of the way she'

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'

the sanders campaign has been engaged in a growing feud with dnc chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz saying she favors hillary clinton. on state of the union, sanders announced he was supporting wasserman schultz's primary candidate in the race for florida's 23rd congressional district and went as far as to say that if he were elected president, wasserman shultz will no longer be the head of the dnc. >> you've been calling for a revolution in florida. are you with wasserman shultz or with her opponent? >> well, clearly i favor her opponent. his views are much closer to mine than is as wasserman schultz's and in all duery inspect to the current chairperson, if elected president, she would not be reappointed to be chair of the dnc. >> dnc chairwoman wasser man schultz issued this, i remain as i have been from the beginning neutral in the presidential democratic primary. end quote. let's bring in in california where sander is expected to hold a rally. sunlin, he seems intent on taking on now the democratic leadership. >> reporter: that's right, fred. this is certainly a significant esca

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. >>

debbie wasserman-schultz has gotten herself into a bunch of messes. 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 is in trouble because she has went in bank for clinton this whole time. she was not seen as prevent deeg baits and doing anything she could for hillary clinton to be the nominee, she wouldn't be doing this. if hillary clinton were pop here and a good national candidate this wouldn't be happening. >> i think she has gone overboard to prove she is neutral. because she is a woman she has been painted automatically as a hillary supporter. >> democrats were trying to get bernie sanders to call it quits. >> she said he has every right to go through the primary process. that's not to say -- it's extremely difficult to have an elected official who is all set to chair of the party. lik

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 their heads, too, because bernie sanders keeps winning states but can't get the nomination because of

that's debbie wasserman schultz's fault. fought against consumer finance reform. >> your take is so fascinating, because i didn't think you were going to say that at all. brie, i thought she was going to say that because you tend to like bernie sanders, that you felt like wasserman schultz was tipping the scales to make sure that hillary clinton won by giving, you know, lousy debate nights like a saturday night and not doing a lot of debates. then this whole superdelegate thing. >> yeah, exactly. i think the larger story is that this is the end of the obama era. debbie wasserman schultz is the chairwoman who obama appointed to that position in 2011 and now her own party -- or i should say factions of her own party are publicly criticizing her. i think the party's attempts to maintain the establishment and the status quo really aren't working and it is backfiring. >> there is interesting there would be talk amongst other democrats, nomiki. because of course bernie sanders supporters don't want her in that position anymore. at

last week sanders backed wasserman schultz's opponent.elosi talked abot the discord. >> we have important challenges this election is about. i'm not going to get into conversations about personality. i told you that debbie wasserman schultz has the respect of her colleagues in the house. for her hard work to unify and win the elections. >> alex bolton, reporter for thehill.com broke the story. based on your reporting, on the folks you're having the conversations with, given us a sense how the conversations have been going owe far. >> the conversations took off last week after nevada where there were outbursts from sanders' supporters, chairs thrown, angry demonstrations. that was concerning. they felt wasserman schultz really poured fuel on the fire when she went on tv and really criticized sanders after the sanders' campaign issued a statement that condemned violence generally. they thought she should have been more diplomatic. what lawmakers are worried about it will be tough to unify the party when debbie wasserman schultz is the face

you know, debbie wasserman schultz, we could have a long conversation just about debbie wasserman schultzow she is throwing shade on the sanders campaign since the very beginning. >> tonight, the white house is down playing concerns about potential violence at the democratic convention. press secretary josh earnest saying, yes, there will be a need for democrats to come together in the general election and that the president will be making that case. erin? >> suzanne, thank you very much. >>> my panel back with me now along with jonathan at that seeni, who ran against clinton in her 2006 senate primary contain and dana bash. jonathan, let me start with you. you just heard sanders campaign manager talk about debbie wasserman schultz, leader in the democratic party showing shade since the beginning on the sanders campaign. how? how has the democratic leadership been rigged or stacked against bernie sanders? >> well, i want to specifically focus on debbie wasserman schulz, who i think has lost credibility and i don't think she's a creditable person to chair the committee. if what we need is

>> 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

with wasserman-schultz or are you with her opponent?ser to mine than wasserman-schultz's. let me also say this in all due respect to the current chair person. if elected president she would not be re-appointed to be chair of the dnc. >> suspicions are growing. at last check 90,000 signatures for debbie wasserman-schultz to step down. debbie #debbiedowner. they think she's been favoring hillary clinton. >> of course. this is the contest. the back story, we remember during the fall when everybody was like when you are going to debate so people can watch. nobody watches on saturday night. hillary clinton did pretty well during those debates. >> keeping files that the democratic party could have helped bernie sanders supporters. >> we covered this for months. the democratic party has and the sides on behalf of hillary clinton. all of them want to be an ambassador to belgium in the hillary clinton administration. it's a party that need to be a neutral arbiter. >> she's calling for an open election to let these independents in. if you look at

here we are, debbie wasserman schultz, the head of the dnc, people are talking about throwing her theonth ago, it was reince priebus and the republican party. a month ago we'll were talking about really donald has to tone it down a little bit, and now people are trying to get clinton to goose it a little bit. >> the congresswoman will be back running for re-election before the convention, there will be a new chairman of the party. it's one of the things sanders will insist upon, and i would prefer her staying in there because she's totally ineffective. at the end of the day, she's worn out her welcome. lou: on politics and attacking, senator elizabeth warren trying to start a fight with donald trump, saying he's a moneygrubbing businessman basically. he wouldn't bite, though. he dismissed her as pocahontas. >> which reminded people of her falsehood when she was running that she was part indian. lou: my cheek bones are native american. >> i think the reality here is that we go look at her record, she did a little wheeling and dealing to make money which is perfectly acceptable during t
