'I would ask her to step aside': DNC chair pressured to resign

'I don't think she is qualified to be the chair of the DNC...'

Controversial emails continue to haunt the Democratic party.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The emails suggested the Democratic National Committee (DNC) favored Clinton during the primary and revealed possible evidence of the DNC attempting to destroy Bernie Sanders by questioning his religion.

The Republican party has been heavily criticized for splintering but now that the Democratic party has also begun to unravel, the fate of the United States' presidential vote has become uncertain.

Events reached a head on Saturday during Clinton's first campaign event with Tim Kaine as her running mate. A protester was escorted out after shouting, "DNC leaks."

After the protester was removed, Clinton thanked Democratic party, it was announced DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her leadership. The next day it was announced Wasserman Schultz would not hold a major speaking role and is not expected to preside over daily convention proceedings this week.

Rep. Marcia Fudge was named the permanent chair of the convention by the DNC, CNN reported.

Fudge will gavel each session to order and each closed but an unnamed top Democrat claimed Scultz has "been quarantined" after being pressured to resign her post as the head of the DNC.

"She seems oblivious to the volcano that will erupt if she walked into that [convention] hall," a veteran Democratic operative admitted Sunday morning, saying Wasserman Schultz believes the problem will pass.

"Forty percent of the people in that hall didn't like her to begin with," the operative continued. "She was going to get booed before all this."

In fact, David Axelrod, U.S. President Barack Obama's former presidential campaigner, called for Wasserman Schultz's resignation.

"I would ask her to step aside," he stated. "I would ask her to step aside because she's a distraction in a week that is Hillary Clinton's week."

Another of Clinton's allies said Wasserman Schultz would resign but admitted she "is stubborn."

Wasserman Schultz was obviously reluctant when she relinquished her speaking role at the convention but now that she has been asked to resign it is clear her political career has come to an end.

She has been criticized several times in the past, such as her fluid stance on medical marijuana and claims of her being "incompetant."

Bernie Sanders appeared on "State of the Union" and explained: "I don't think she is qualified to be the chair of the DNC, not only for these awful emails, which revealed the prejudice of the DNC, but also because we need a party that reaches out to working people and young people, and I don't think her leadership style is doing that.

"I'm not an atheist but aside from all of that, it is an outrage and sad that you would have people in important positions in the DNC trying to undermine my campaign. It goes without saying: The function of the DNC is to represent all of the candidates -- to be fair and even-minded.

"But again, we discussed this many, many months ago, on this show, so what is revealed now is not a shock to me."

While the Democratic party is experiencing serious turbulence, Daily Mail claims it is all born of top Democrat women's desire to make Hillary president no matter what.

A female committee member present at Tuesday's primary debate in Las Vegas claimed, "the party's female leaders really want to make a woman the next president," regardless of controversies surrounding the current candidate.

"I haven't heard anyone say we should make Hillary undergo a trial by fire," the member stated. "To the contrary, the women in charge seem eager, more and more, to have her skate into the general [election].

"I have nothing against women," she explained, "but it's not healthy for the party if we get behind a woman because she's a woman, and risk having her implode after she's nominated because she isn't tested enough now."

DNC national press secretary Holly Shulman maintains "The DNC runs an impartial primary process, period" and later stated: "There's a lot at stake.

"The last time a Republican left office our economy was losing 750,000 jobs a month, countless homes were being foreclosed and too many families were being devastated.

"These debates and forums are an opportunity for our candidates to introduce themselves and their vision to build on where we are now after 67 straight months of job growth."

With conflicting information it is difficult to see what will happen to the Democratic party. Is Wasserman Schultz collateral damage in Hillary Clinton's bulldozing campaign or is she really responsible for favoring the current Democratic nominee?

Will powerful Democrats push Clinton toward the presidency simply to put a woman in the Oval Office?

Unless an impartial investigation reveals the truth, which is unlikely to happen, given the email and Bengazi controversies Clinton already escaped, all the public can do is guess.
