Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

I see you don't bother to demand accountability from the GOP.
It's a valid double standard. Demanding accountability, or any kind of good behavior really, from the GOP, is like demanding good, rational behavior from an insane lunatic who's in an asylum. The Dems put themselves out there as the party that works for the common people instead of the ultra-wealthy and big businesses, so they're much more hypocritical and it's valid to call them out on this.

I should have known the idiots would come out on this one. Republicans sell this crap too. Nobody runs as the party of the ultra-wealthy.
