DNC chair hits back at Sanders over party criticism: 'Straight up BS'

DNC Chair Jaime Harrison hit back at Sen. Bernie Sanders’ claim that the Democratic Party has “abandoned working-class people” as “straight up BS.”

“This is straight up BS … Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time — saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country,” Harrison wrote on X Thursday.

“There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one,” he continued.

Harrison’s remarks come after the progressive senator and former presidential primary candidate claimed the Democratic Party “defends the status quo” after Vice President Kamala Harris’ resounding loss to Donald Trump.

“Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats, said in a statement Wednesday.
