DNC's Top Data Guy Coached to Stress Party Neutrality in Primary
Posted in: Uncategorized
Even the Democratic National Committee’s top data guy was told to portray the party as a neutral partner to both candidates in the presidential primary. According to emails sent among DNC staff exposed by WikiLeaks, before DNC’s data services director Sam McCabe spoke at an event in May, he was handed some talking points. In particular, he was told not to talk about the Democratic primary other than to insist both the Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigns were getting equal treatment by the party:
“And Q&A for what NOT to talk about: Primary on Dem side — other than to say we’re working with both of our campaigns and have always been neutral.”
The May 12 email was sent by DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda to DNC staff including Mr. McCabe.
