The Wikileaks just keep on coming:
"On a day when the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee announced she plans to resign over a disturbing email leak, a new email has surfaced appearing to call outreach to hispanics "taco bowl engagement." It's unclear if the email chain or "script" referred to in the email was meant as a response to a picture that Donald Trump had tweeted on Cinco De Mayo that depicted him eating a taco salad and proclaiming his appreciation for latinos. Progressives and conservatives called for more firings on Sunday evening because of the email. The DNC has not responded to the calls for more heads to roll in the controversy. The email dump provided by Wikileaks also highlighted DNC staffers mocking Bernie Sanders jewish faith.
Meanwhile, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced on Sunday she was resigning as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on the eve of the party's convention. Hours later, the Hillary Clinton campaign announced they had hired Wasserman Shultz as the head of Clinton's 50 states campaign. The move caused some on both the left and the right to proclaim the "fix was in" to help Wasserman Shultz who had been a lightning rod for Bernie Sanders' criticism through the primary.
It's an abrupt end to a chairmanship marked by controversy, which came to a head this weekend following revelations from leaked internal emails.
"Going forward, the best way for me to accomplish those goals is to step down as Party Chair at the end of this convention," Wasserman Schultz said in a lengthy statement Sunday announcing her resignation, referring her desire to unify the party."
