The Bernies lose Clinton favoritism case against DNC

BPR: The Democratic National Committee and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz are enjoying a win in the courts as a lawsuit alleging favoritism of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders was dismissed.

The class-action lawsuit brought by a group of Sanders supporters following the 2016 election was ruled in favor of the defendants by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.

The lawsuit claimed that “during the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, the DNC and Ms. Wasserman Schultz improperly tipped the scales in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was challenging Senator Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination,” the ruling stated.

“The DNC argued the only-in-politics defense that the Sanders donors knew that the committee was biased toward Clinton, and therefore, it was under no legal obligation to be neutral or fair to all candidates,” Law & Crime reported. “The ruling went in favor of the defendants not because of an absence of wrongdoing, but rather because it seemed impossible to fit their conduct into an appropriate legal context.” MORE HERE

  1. Those Bernie people seem to expect fairness and impartiality.

    Yet they are Democrats who have a disdain for such things.

    Do they not know what their party stands for and how it operates? It isn’t exactly a secret, ya’ know.

  2. Hillary bought the DNC in 2016. I’ve seen no evidence that she has sold it. Apparently, the 11th Circuit Court judges have also seen no evidence. I’m guessing none of them want that extra pillow at bedtime.

    You brought a peashooter to a Chicago Piano party, Bernie.

  4. …hopefully, this will cause the Berntards to sit this one out in anger again, once their Old White Male avitar gets passed over AGAIN…
