OOppssie.. That's not going to go over big with Schultzie.

Washington (CNN)Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday said he supports Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Democratic opponent in her August 30 primary, adding that if he is elected president, he would effectively terminate her chairmanship of the DNC."

'Well, clearly, I favor her opponent," Sanders told Tapper. "His views are much closer to mine than as to Wasserman Shultz's."
Sanders added that if he's elected president, he wouldn't reappoint Wasserman Schultz to head the DNC.

In a response to Sanders on Saturday afternoon, Wasserman Schultz insisted she would remain neutral in the Democratic presidential race despite the Vermont senator's endorsement of her primary opponent.

Sure you will Debbie. Sure you will.

"Even though Senator Sanders has endorsed my opponent, I remain, as I have been from the beginning, neutral in the presidential Democratic primary. I look forward to working together with him for Democratic victories in the fall."

YUPSIE... I wonder is she was able to say that without gagging. LOL!

3. Wasserman Schultz then responds with an outright lie.

She's never been neutral in this process. Every step she has taken has been to back Hillary and the Third Way agenda.

6. There are people who realize Schultz and others have been anything but neutral.

And Warren stood on the sidelines while Bernie was fighting for the people. Oh wait, she gave great speeches.

9. I don't think ENOUGH people realize it..

4. Thank you Bernie for having the guts to stand up for people being ripped off by payday lenders.

Of course, I should not forget we've been told she's a great defender of the middle class.
