DNC chair won't speak at Dem convention following Wikileaks fallout
2016-07-24
(CNN) The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary.
Good looks will only take you so far.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails.

One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders' faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.

Wasserman Schultz is expected to gavel the convention in and out, but not speak in the wake of the controversy surrounding the leaked emails, a top Democrat said.

#4  dws isn't the biggest threat 'to keep the peace'

the biggest threat is that the Dem's will not be able to contain their anti American feelings

every 4 years they but (or maybe rent) thousands of flags and do everything possible to use approved phrases and every 4 years it gets harder to shut down the party base - in 2012, the party based basically booed God and booed Israel but it was a short incident and the cameras were focused on the stage-- there will be more cameras this time and more issues
