this is a test for tom perez. either he will succeed by bringing bernie sanders and bernie sanders representatives into this process and they will say ooitsd fait s fair, it work will fail. and i hope for democrats everywhere that he succeeds, and for bernie and all of bernie s supporters. very quickly do you agree with the notion that it was rigged? yes. the president has called on the justice department to look into brazile s claims. this was krius criticized by bo corker as in-proechts. b inappropriate. but where does the democraticing party go from here? simone sanders is on the phone with us. former party chairman, a. scott bolden and also julian zellzor both stuck around. so simone, i want to start with
2015. it never said that we would get to review e-mails or things that went out about a quote/unquote lawy lawy particular democratic candidate. and going forward i think it s important that the integrity and their process around elections is protected and restored and that is a challenge for tom p perez and his leadership. i m very optimistic that they will rise to the occasion. so based on what she said, is the dnc tarnished now, how many damage does this report from donna brazil do? i think at a higher level because of who donna brazile is, she is confirming what was suspicious all along by the sanders supporters. listen, this is a fight for the soul of the dnc. you ve got these two factions, they don t need to be warring with one another or suing one another. they need to be working together
getting a little too fixated on they are being mean to us. and that is a good point. yes, u i agree with that comple completely. we can worry about how we are treated as members of the press and not enough about how the readers and the viewers and our consumers are being treated. okay. all right. we are going to be listening to ja moou greene as we go out to break. and that is why we need tom perez to be the next chair.
and we should say that one of the candidates who dropped out, pete buttigieg, and so some said that they had earned his endorsement, but fluid here, and that is a mistake. and so where do you think that the votes will come from? and if there is a lot of ellison supporters here in the back of the room, and if he loses, what will happen? a lot of disappointmentt out there on the street. and incumbent on tom perez to go out to build credibility with the people we have seen by the millions out on the streets taking on trump. keith ellison has a lot of support with them, and tom perez would have a lot of work to do the build up his capability with them. and is he capable of bringing in the bernie sanders support or no trust? well, he has to build the trust over time, and the truth is that perez has been very gifted and he does not have a lot of experience in the
unified message and slate of candidates of school board to the next prospective president to run that? the responsibility to party up is on me and everybody else to build it from the bottom up. so what has happened is that the money was not put there. representative ellison has said that he will fund the party at real dollar levels and not a couple of thousand here or there, and tom perez does not understand how the state party works, and ellison has raised over $2 million and helped the ka candidates down ballot. so i believe that ellison is going to wake up every morning to make sure that he is giving a one-two punch to trump, and while standing with us in the trees to build from the ground up. and if i can interrupt, because to characterize that he
