Sanders accuses DNC of favoring Clinton at convention

Well she does lead you in number of pledged delegates. #FeelTheMath

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is accusing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of favoring Hillary Clinton by giving her supporters more committee representation at the party's July nominating convention.

In a Friday letter to DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Sanders said he was disappointed to see that of 45 people he recommended to serve on three standing committees, only three were selected.

He also noted that none of his supporters was assigned to the "very important" rules committee, which will dictate procedure for the convention.

"If we are to have a unified party in the fall, no matter who wins the nomination, we cannot have a Democratic National Convention in which the views of millions of people who participated in the Democratic nominating process are unrepresented in the committee membership appointed by you, the Chair," Sanders wrote.

Instead, you waited to join until you were halfway through your campaign--and only after you were forced to in order to get on the ballot. We don't let Republicans and Independents make our party's rules.
