The Democratic National Committee apologized on Monday to Bernie Sanders for “inexcusable remarks” made about him in hacked emails.
“On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email,” reads a statement released by the party late Monday afternoon.
“These comments do not reflect the values of the DNC or our steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process. The DNC does not — and will not — tolerate disrespectful language exhibited toward our candidates.”
“Individual staffers have also rightfully apologized for their comments, and the DNC is taking appropriate action to ensure it never happens again,” says the statement issued by interim DNC chair Donna Brazile and her board.
It didn’t explain what those action is or if anyone has been disciplined as a result.
The chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, announced Sunday that she would resign after the four-day convention.
