(CNN)The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party's convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee's impartiality during the Democratic primary.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort "to keep the peace" in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails
One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders' faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.

A top staffer at the Democratic National Committee has apologized after suggesting that the organization use Bernie Sanders’ religious beliefs against him in the Democratic primary.
One email among the thousands of internal DNC messages released this week by Wikileaks showed DNC CFO Brad Marshall questioning Sanders’ Jewish faith, and suggested that painting the candidate as an atheist “could make several points difference” in several late primary.

I was just about to post a similar article on the same subject. The quote is nearly the same. These "journalists" don't have an original thought bouncing around the cavernous spaces between their ears.

One thing I loved about the RNC nominating convention was THE DIVERSITY of speakers and how clearly they all managed to zero on the doormat and her criminal enterprise. Given gay, hardcore religious right, a Muslim cleric, a Jewish Rabbi and the other assortment of speakers, they all came from their own place but had a common goal and were all welcomed.
When was the last time an out of step speaker was made welcome at a democrat nominating convention?
In 1992 then Governor Joan Finney of Kansas was intentionally barred from speaking because she was.... gasp.... pro life.
The hypocrisy of the democrat party talking about diversity is as corrupt as them talking about defending lives.
