Defiant Sanders Rips Nevada Democrats

May 17, 2016 at 4:07 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 233 Comments

Bernie Sanders “accused the Nevada Democratic Party of abusing its power to unfairly hurt his campaign, and denied accusations of promoting violence among his supporters,” The Hill reports.

Said Sanders: “The Democratic leadership used its power to prevent a fair and transparent process from taking place. If the Democratic Party is to be successful in November, it is imperative that all state parties treat our campaign supporters with fairness and the respect that they have earned.”

But new audio obtained by CNN shows a senior Sanders aide — on the eve of the Nevada convention — encouraging the senator’s supporters try to “take over” the convention, change party rules and continue the “revolution” that Sanders has long campaigned on.
