“Bernie never ever had his act together…his campaign was a mess.”
Just days before Hillary Clinton is set to become the Democratic party's presidential nominee, WikiLeaks on Friday published a trove of nearly 20,000 emails showing some party officials criticizing Bernie Sanders and his campaign.

The emails provide an embarrassing glimpse at the inner workings of the Democratic National Committee and could reignite claims the party was quietly favoring Clinton during the presidential primary.
In a May 5 email with the subject line "no shit," Brad Marshall, the chief financial officer of the DNC, said "someone" should question Sanders about his religious faith.
“It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief,” marshall@dnc.org wrote. “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.”

In another email, DNC staffer Mark Paustenbach asked communications director Luis Miranda if there’s a good "Bernie narrative" for a story that shows “his campaign was a mess.”
