It was just last month when DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz was drowned out by frustrated Democrats demanding more debates between the Democrat candidates, while Wasserman Schultz has doggedly stuck to the original schedule of six.
It wasn’t only the masses in New Hampshire unhappy with the debate schedule; DNC vice chair Rep. Tulsi Gabbard also voiced her opinion that more debates were needed — and says she was disinvited from the debates after an appearance on MSNBC.

On Monday night, Gabbard returned to the scene of the “crime,” appearing on MSNBC with Chris Hayes to tell her story.

We are Democrats. Uninviting this woman for expressing her opinion is not what we are about. @RepDWStweets #inners

Someone should explain that to Wasserman Schultz.

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @MSNBC Is anyone gonna toss Wasserman Schultz?

@Pac_Dozen @allinwithchris @chrislhayes @MSNBC I agree I think Schultz is a terrible chair. Should have been replaced after 2014

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @MSNBC So NOBODY demands a statement from @DWStweets… and now back to your Hillary's inevitable programming.

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @MSNBC shows how rotten @DWStweets is and how desperate she is to rig the electoral process

@allinwithchris @MSNBC @chrislhayes @DWStweets is criminally awful and needs to be thrown out for attempting to show favoritism to Hillary!

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @MSNBC DWS has been a disaster with her zero state strategy, among other things

@allinwithchris @chrislhayes @TulsiGabbard is a hero! I'm so glad she's calling DWS on this. This is what leadership looks like.

CNN reports that the story has a happy ending, thanks to the Bernie Sanders campaign offering Gabbard a ticket. “If she needs a ticket, have her give me a call. I think we have a couple; we can give her one.” said Sanders’ campaign manager on CNN’s “New Day.”
