Via the Rachel Maddow show-

Update: Rachel Maddow just reported that the Sanders campaign has demanded that Governor Malloy of Connecticut and Barney Frank be removed from their positions as chairs of the Platform and Rules committees at the convention because they won’t be fair enough to Sanders. If the DNC does not give in to this demand, the Sanders campaign has announced that it will use all procedural means to grind the Convention to a halt.

Here is the letter Bernie sent to the DNC

Here's the clip from the show.

Starts at 5:32

You can tell that Maddow who has been at least relatively kind to Sanders if not supporting him early on has soured so significantly on him.

She's a professional but imo you can feel the disgust she has for what's going.

No official links yet, I'll add them as they're posted to this report.

Personally...I think that the Sanders campaign is trying to use a Trump-esque strategy? Since Trump made similar demands(Whether it was 'I don't want this moderator' or 'If you want me to debate, donate an X amount of money) so it's harrowing to see this come out of the Sanders campaign.

This is also coming after they agreed to give his campaign more control over the committee, so this isn't the first demand the Sanders campaign is making.

It's about the issues right Bernie?

Toxi · May 28, 2016

Now this is just getting silly.

User1608 · May 28, 2016

Bernie truly is a sore loser. Fuck him. This does no one any good.

Suikoguy · May 28, 2016

Using extortion as the loser? That's a new low, even for him.

Angry Grimace · May 28, 2016

Why don't they just kick Sanders out

he's not even a democrat

eBay Huckster · May 28, 2016

In Sandersworld, Cornell "first niggerized president" West's comments are beyond reproach, but Barney Frank is beyond the pale.

Can't wait to see the usual suspects in here if this doesn't get locked first!

TheLostBigBoss · May 28, 2016

Dubbedinenglish · May 28, 2016

He named Cornell West, he is no position to oppose anyone's picks.

Merc_ · May 28, 2016

Huh. I guess he is going to try and torpedo the Dems and give the presidency to Trump.

B-Dubs · May 28, 2016

He wants to get rid of Barney Frank, the guy who has done pretty much everything Bernie wishes he'd done? Pure salt.

giga · May 28, 2016

Bets on how many days it will take Bernie to renounce the letter D next to his name after he loses? I give it a week.

It's headed that way.
He is up for Budget Committee chair, and these are not the actions of someone of the democratic party.

I guess he will go down being a lowly old man with no accomplishments other than pissing off over half of a political party.

Plot twist: Sanders was working for Trump since the beginning.

As I said in the other thread...this is some school yard shit.

"Frankie was mean to me, so I don't want him at my party!"

Bronx-Man · May 28, 2016

This is literally "Do as I tell you, or I'll make Nevada look like a playground scuffle." How low can he go?

harSon · May 28, 2016

Despite preferring Hilary, I never really disliked Bernie. I hate him quite a bit now. He's just being destructionist as fuck at this point.

Ahasverus · May 28, 2016

He's not as smart as he seemed to be if he's putting the party against itself. Shameful, it's the worst time for that.

Wafflecakes · May 28, 2016

Bernie is such a pathetic little man.

Get over it. You lost.

rjinaz · May 28, 2016

smh Bernie. What a turd you turned out to be.

Risette · May 28, 2016

posted in the other thread, but man, Bernie's downward spiral just gets more and more embarrassing.

The worst part is that the DNC can't even put their foot down without his campaign & supports crying about establishment, corruption, etc. So bad.

rekameohs · May 28, 2016

echoshifting · May 28, 2016

This is just infuriating as fuck at this point.

I love Barney Frank.

Hexa · May 28, 2016

Greatest election of all time all around folks. This one is not going to be topped.
We expected the Republican convention to be amazing, and it still might be, but the Democratic one will likely be even crazier.
This is great.

Seriously, the GOP just nominated an actual White Nationalist.

GhaleonEB · May 28, 2016

Jeez. I was once quite sympathetic to Bernie running through to the convention. But this is just petulant and childish.

The convention is in part to unify the party and before it even starts, he's making public enemies.

Puts his inability to properly condemn everything that happened in a new light certainly.

kcp12304 · May 28, 2016

Let's remove two New England Progressives. An openly gay Congressman, co-creator of Dodd-Frank (b/c who cares about Financial Reform), and a Governor who is trying really hard right now to pass Criminal Justice Reform in his state

Haha that's hilarious. Just hilarious.

You and everyone else in the party! Barney Frank is awesome. If Warren is VP then he needs to take her place in the Senate.

Averon · May 28, 2016

And to think, many thought it would be the GOP convention that would have the fireworks.

Irnbru · May 28, 2016

Barney Frank?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

Drek · May 28, 2016

Fuck him, let him have his riot and crown Trump. I'd rather that than watch the last bastion of sanity in the political process cow tow to a halfwit ideologue and his cult of mysoginistic white privileged manchildren.

Barney Frank is a real progressive who accomplished real shit in office and now Sanders' little purity test is trying to rewrite history. He is so goddamn disgusting.

Correction, Barney Frank was a congressman not senator.

Barney Frank should be VP. Would be a great VP, and a great checkmate move on the above letter.

I am embarrassed to have voted for him.

The past couple of days have made me really disappointed in Sanders. He's coming off as incredibly desperate

Yo, this country ain't ready for that! Gotta ease em in with Warren.

sangreal · May 28, 2016

Gotta love how his biggest gripe with Malloy is that he pledged to work hard to elect Hillary. and someone that's a bad thing for the platform committee

Can't wait for this petulant shit to leave the party again

Ether_Snake · May 28, 2016

B-Dubs said:

Warren would sink Hillary's campaign, Frank would not.

Tallshortman · May 28, 2016

I don't understand what Sander's campaign aides think what will happen if they actually manage to steal the nomination from the person who got far more democratic primary votes. It's the same thing with Trump, while Hillary's supporters aren't as fanatic to her and only her, does Sander's campaign think they'll just accept this with no shitstorm?

Then again, he probably has several idealogues on his team wherein the ends justify the means.

Oh and Barney Frank has done more to advance the progressive agenda in congress than Bernie ever has.

Grizzlyjin · May 28, 2016

This is embarrassing. Really doing great things for progressives here. *eyeroll*

Frank would go HAM on Trump, he can spit some serious fire.

excelsiorlef · May 28, 2016

God an I glad I got off the Sanders bandwagon really early.

Even if he dos eventually "endorse" he's making himself completely useless.

A fucking albatross

Nairume · May 28, 2016

The ad system has a good sense of humor about this thread

cbrun44 · May 28, 2016

Hopefully this will wake up "some" of his more fervent followers to the realization Bernie doesn't give a fuck about them. All Bernie gives a shit about is Bernie. It's pathetic. Sad little man baby.

Sweeney Tom · May 28, 2016

I am legitimately sad I voted for Bernie in my state's meaningless primary.

RoKKeR · May 28, 2016

Stopped following the things on the Democratic side after Hillary locked it up, but this is just embarassing.
