Black Lives Matter activist and New York Daily News columnist Shaun King says Democrat Party functionaries deserve "so much of the blame" for Donald Trump's victory - and says Bernie Sanders would have prevailed had he been the nominee.
He also referenced leaked emails that illustrated a concerted effort to boost Hillary Clinton over Sanders during the primary battle.
Former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to resign over the scandal, after the hacked emails revealed party officials discussing ways to damage his primary bid and even pondering if there was a way to use his faith as a wedge issue.
While Sanders campaigned for Clinton after she bested him in the primary, his team seemed to be quietly seething after her defeat to Trump, telling CNN: “We have nothing polite to say right now.”
