An Illinois delegate for Bernie Sanders says he wishes leaders of the Democratic party would be kinder to Sanders supporters.
Sanders delegate Michael Harrington says he’s loved talking to other delegates in Philadelphia who are regular folk, as he calls them. But when it comes to Illinois party leaders he says he and other Sanders supporters have been getting the cold shoulder.
HARRINGTON: It’s not welcoming, we’re all in this together, friendly, family and the kool-aid message is well, we all have to be united but you don’t tell me to be united, you invite me, you make a way for me to be friends with you.
Democratic Party Chairman Michael Madigan says Bernie Sanders has done a great service for the party by bringing new enthusiasm to voters and he’ll continue reaching out.
