Symone Sanders, former national press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)’s presidential campaign, went on a Twitter rant Monday as the Democratic National Convention unfolded, criticizing those who were still supporting the Vermont senator over the party’s nominee, Hillary Clinton.
Some Bernie Sanders’ supporters have been energized since hacked Democratic National Committee emails released through Wikileaks revealed that some party officials favored Clinton.
Symone Sanders emphasized on Twitter that “NO ONE STOLE THIS ELECTION!” and that the Sanders team did “AMAZING WORK”, but ultimately lost.
“It’s a hard reality for some,” she tweeted:
Look, people are well within their rights to have passions and opinions. That is how we create change in this country. We need the passion!!

But let me be clear – NO ONE STOLE THIS ELECTION! Team Sanders we did AMAZING WORK. But we lost. It’s a hard reality for some.

It was a hard reality for me. Because I fought hard. Now, we won some great battles, but the reality is the system didn’t cheat us.

Now the contents of the leaked emails show individuals were definitely biased, but 7 folks on an email didn’t “steal” the election.

There are other qualms. Other valid arguments, but a stolen election is not one. I worked there. No one stole the election from us.

It’s clear individuals didn’t honor their oath & now, folks are questioning the integrity of the process. Completely understandable.

Folks like myself have a duty to call it what it is & then do everything we can to make it what it should be. That’s the beauty of our party

So…lets take the passion and fervor and yes anger some feel and resolve to do all we can to contribute to making our party better.

No doubt we have work to do, but the beauty of all this is….we all have a chance to get in this game and play.

Senator Sanders has said the political revolution will roll on! He’s noted we have work to do this fall and that we have a job to get done.

Twit this: we created a monster we can no longer control. It has come home to roost.
That’s pretty much the gist of what I was gonna post. Carry on val.
True dat!! Let’s get this all out on Day1. Jeez.
Feel the burn, berniebros?
If Democrats lose this election because of Sanders’ spoiled brats, Sanders might get a huge backlash from the Party and its members.
