Top DNC staffer apologizes for email on Sanders’ religion
One email among the thousands of internal DNC messages released this
week by Wikileaks showed DNC CFO Brad Marshall questioning Sanders’
Jewish faith, and suggested that painting the candidate as an atheist
“could make several points difference” in several late primary contests.
“It might may (sic) no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get
someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on
saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This
could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist
peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist,” Marshall wrote in a message to several DNC communications directors.
The message does not mention Sanders by name, but he was the only Jewish candidate, and the email came shortly before the Kentucky and West Virginia Democratic primaries.
