NV Convention Talking Points Violence is Unacceptable * First, let me be clear, at the DNC we are neutral in this primary. * That said, violence and intimidation are absolutely unacceptable in our Democracy and in our primary process, and it is incumbent upon all of us in positions of leadership to speak out against it. * This was a State Democratic Party event, not a DNC event, so I was not present for what happened. * But I was immediately concerned when I saw the videos and read the troubling details about the conduct on display by some participants in Nevada on Saturday. * We are reaching out to both campaigns and calling on every Democrat to denounce threats of violence and intimidation, they don’t serve any of our candidates well. Roberta Lange and Private Property * It’s especially troubling that the threats went beyond the hall. Roberta Lang, the Nevada Democratic Chair, was simply performing her duty as Chair and has done nothing to deserve the disgusting attacks and death threats she has received over text, emails and over the phone. * The individuals launching these attacks – as well as the vandalism that took place over the weekend -- should be ashamed. We’re Better Than Trump * Energy and passion for a candidate are absolutely welcome as part of this process. * The vast majority of Democrats who have already participated in our primary have done so appropriately -- with enthusiasm and civility. * For those who let their passion turn to rage when things don’t go their way, well that’s better left to the ugliness we’ve seen at Donald Trump’s rallies, it doesn’t belong on the Democratic side. The Rules of This Process are Not New * The rules governing the Democratic Party delegate selection process have been in place for decades and the specific procedures for this cycle were agreed upon in 2014. * The system for determining these rules has been fair and transparent. * It is the same process that ultimately led to the nomination of Barack Obama in 2008, for example. * Shouting down any democratic process isn’t just disruptive, it’s unacceptable. We need to come together and be united. * If there are legitimate concerns from the supporters of either Democratic campaign, those concerns can, should and must be addressed in an orderly, civil and peaceful manner. Alaska State Convention * It is possible to show your passion and to disagree openly with our party leaders or the process in a meaningful and peaceful way. * On Saturday, I was in Alaska for their state convention. This is a state that supported Senator Sanders in their primary by 82%. * There was no shouting. No threats of violence. And I received a standing ovation because the people in that room know we can’t afford what a Trump presidency would do to our country. * That’s the example we should be following. And as long as we do, I’m convinced we will absolutely be a unified party at our National Convention. If Asked About the 64 Delegates * Look I wasn’t there but my understanding is that there was a process in place to address these concerns and both campaigns were equally represented in the credentials committee who was charged with resolving these disputes. that made decisions about those possible delegates. But ultimately no matter what happened, there is no need to resort to violence. The Democratic Party is a party of ideas and substance and the last thing we would want is for these frustrations to overshadow the important and substantive ideas our candidates have to offer. * Six were seated but the vast majority couldn’t be, because as one of Sanders’ own organizers wrote on Facebook, their people didn’t all show up. * Only 8 of the 64 individuals were even present at the convention. * So the suggestion that there were 64 individuals who were marginalized to tip the scales is simply not consistent with what happened. We need for both campaigns to understand that there is process in place and that regardless of the outcome violence should not be condoned. Period and that recognize that they won’t always get their way, and when that happens, it doesn’t mean anyone rigged the system, it simply means they lost. Period.
