Reid: DNC never gave Sanders a ‘fair deal’

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says Bernie Sanders never got a fair chance from the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

“Bernie really had a movement out there, and it wasn’t right to treat him that way,” Reid said Wednesday from the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, according to The Huffington Post. “I knew — everybody knew — that this was not a fair deal,” he added. Reid said outgoing DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz wasn't impartial during the Democratic primary.

Reid also said Democrats don't have a backup plan if anything damaging about their presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, emerges in future email leaks.

“No,” he said.

After the fact and when retiring. Maybe he should have brought this up sooner?
