Former Sanders Spokeswoman: "We Don't Need White People Leading The Democratic Party"

Sanders, former spokeswoman for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, appeared on CNN Wednesday afternoon to weigh in on the future of the DNC and the Democratic party. Sanders dismissed the idea of Howard Dean returning as DNC chairman commenting, "we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now."

"Howard Dean is also on record maligning young people and millennials. Telling those Bernie folks they just need to get in line and maligning Bernie Sanders. And that is not what we need," Sanders said about the former party chairman.

"In my opinion we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now," Sanders said. "The Democratic party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in leadership and throughout the staff, at the highest levels. From the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC."

"I think we need a robust discussion about this and I think we need to hear more from all the candidates," Sanders told CNN's Brianna Keilar. "Jaime Harrison of South Carolina, he's great, too. He's done real party building, but everybody doesn't necessarily know Jaime and they want to know what he stands for. So I want to hear more from everybody."

"I want to hear from the millennials and the brown folks," she finished.


BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN: Howard Dean also in the running for DNC chairman. And I wonder what you think -- you're a Keith Ellison person.

SYMONE SANDERS, FORMER BERNIE SANDERS SPOKESWOMAN: No.

BRIANNA KEILAR: You're not?

SYMONE SANDERS: I don't know. I have not thrown my hat in. I know that my former boss has thrown his weight behind Keith Ellison but I have not thrown my weight behind anyone.

BRIANNA KEILAR: Okay, this is even better. Then you're an even better person to ask this question of. You have Howard Dean and others who support --

SYMONE SANDERS: Jaime Harrison.

BRIANNA KEILAR: That's right, Jaime Harrison, and their line is that Keith Ellison, who is more to the left than these other guys, that he, since he's a sitting Congressman, since it appears he wouldn't leave that position behind, Debbie Wasserman Schultz had wore the two hats. He's saying, you know what, that doesn't work wearing the two hats. Do you think that Is that a real criticism or do you think that that's people trying to get some cover for not wanting someone who is so, so liberal to be at the helm of the party?

SYMONE SANDERS: I think it's a little of both. I definitely think it is difficult to win. You have a chair that is a sitting member of Congress, or has any other kind of job, has two sets of staff. There is DNC staff and then there's office staff. Whenever you want to get something done quickly you just can't go through the DNC staff you also have to go through whatever particular office staff. Look, I think Keith Ellison is great, I have worked with him. He is amazing, he is a fighter and he's committed to the issues, but --

BRIANNA KEILAR: Howard Dean?

SYMONE SANDERS: Howard Dean, you know, Howard Dean was there for the 50-state strategy, but here's the issue: Howard Dean is also on record maligning young people and millennials. Telling those Bernie folks they just need to get in line and maligning Bernie Sanders. And that is not what we need.

And in my opinion we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now. The Democratic party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in leadership and throughout the staff, at the highest levels. From the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC.

I think we need a robust discussion about this and I think we need to hear more from all the candidates. Jaime Harrison of South Carolina, he's great, too. He's done real party building, but everybody doesn't necessarily know Jaime and they want to know what he stands for. So I want to hear more from everybody. I want to hear from the millennials and the brown folks.​
Sanders' reaction to a white person getting dragged from car and beaten by anti-Trump protestors: "Oh my goodness, poor white people."

Questions for Debate:

What do you think the MSM response would have been in Howard Dean had said, "I don't think we need Black People leading the Democratic Party right now..."?

Doesn't this show that the Democratic Party has devolved into a special interest, Radical Leftie, "People of Color ONLY" political party, which will be able to win elections in "People of Color" majority districts, but not high level National Office?

Doesn't this show that we need a new, slightly left of center, Political Party Brand Name, untainted by the RACISM of the Democratic Party, to represent ALL Working Americans?

What should that new Working People's Party be Called?

I don't think the Dems have it in them to do that---I actually think they're a lost cause in that respect.

But if they did, they'd have no reason to gripe about the EC because they'd probably own it for several cycles.

I do not expect the Dems to do much more than continue to devolve into an Extreme Leftist, "People of Color ONLY" political party.

Such a party will never represent Working Whites, who are 54% of the voters... so that NEED will create the emergence of a new Working People's Party.

Uh bro, working class whites made up 54% of voters in 1988, not 2016.

According to CNN, it is allot higher than 54%

This political demographics research group says it is allot higher:

The New York Times places Registered, likely to vote, Working Whites at a level around 70%

The U.S. Census figures back up these estimates:

Sorry, but you're just plain WRONG about this.... 54% is a very conservative, low ball, estimate of 2016 working whites.

Democrats are the racists and just don't know it......the anxiety that results from simultaneously holding contradictory or incompatible attitudes must
be exhausting.....

"we don't need white people leading the Democratic party right now" is so obviously a racist statement....but to Democrats, only if uttered by a
non Democrat....in their minds, they just CAN'T be racists....its the same with African Americans...they've been told they can't be racists, its impossible...
but of course it is possible as Sanders proves....

Blacks are 12% of the population, Hispanics 17% and Asians around 4%. That's about 30% right there. Of the remaining the whites you are saying on 16% have college degrees?

No way.
 
Uh bro, working class whites made up 54% of voters in 1988, not 2016.

Whatever the number they're way too big to be ignored. Would Hispanics + Blacks equal them?

That's always been a weakness in their electoral model: how to keep minorities bundled together under the same tent.
 
I'm simply saying his numbers are wrong.

You keep saying it, but you've provided absolutely nothing to back up those assertions.

I've provided graphs and data from four different demographic study groups which all say the Working White Votes is 64-72% of the Registered Voters.

My estimate of 54% is based on Pew Rearch and their estimates which include a region definition of what "Working" means by income.

BTW, having an advanced college degree does NOT mean you're not a working class person.

I know many people with Master's degrees who are working in labor class jobs.

Again, by all professional estimations of the racial demographics, assuming 54% are working whites in 2016 is a very conservative, low end, estimate.

Admit it, You are simply wrong, as the evidence I've shown illustrates.

Probably part of the problem is how 'white working class' is defined. I advocate dropping 'white' off of working class because it implies race is a factor, when in reality, people who work any number of jobs are included in it.

Clinton would have one believe white working class = deplorables.

And we saw how that turned out lol.

Democrats best hope may be that Trump implodes and takes the GOP down with him. Which is possible, but nearly as likely as many of them think. Given their abysmal track record on Trump predictions, I'm not sure why anyone would put a lot of stock in that prediction lol.

Failing that prediction, the democrats need to change something their doing. They seem to be lurching left and doubling down on the 'white folks suck' thing.

Which means they've learned little or nothing.

That highlighted line made me laugh so hard I choked.

And you're right, they won't change their coarse, just double down on it.

Which is why we need to create a new Working People's party that abandons those extremes.

Well, so far, its worked for them.

They've profited greatly from 45 years of Black Lefties Murder and La Racists mi Amigos mentality, they're not going to stop now, not even as its killing the party.
