It seems the man apparently endorsed by a bird that landed on his lectern doesn’t care much for @DWStweets, or for her place in the Democratic Party’s pecking order. On Saturday, Bernie Sanders announced that he’s supporting Tim Canova, who’s looking to take DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s congressional seat in Florida.
Notable: In @CNNSotu interview airing tomorrow, @BernieSanders endorses @DWStweets's congressional primary opponent.

BREAKING: @BernieSanders tells CNN's @JakeTapper he backs @Tim_Canova -the Dem challenging DNC Chair @DWStweets – in Florida's 8/30 primary.

.@BernieSanders says he's backing DNC chair @DWStweets's primary opponent @Tim_Canova, wouldn't reappoint her at DNC https://t.co/igX7XpeS2z

since she's proven to be a liar and a shill for Hillary why would he reappoint her?
— David James (@PsychicatLP) May 21, 2016
We wouldn’t say she has necessarily proved to be a shill for Clinton, but every shred of evidence seems to suggest it. Clinton and her supporters tend to go out of their way not to leave proof of anything.

If nothing else comes of this election, @DWStweets will lose her job.
— McCallister Crowley (@EstelleSweaty) May 21, 2016
so much shock and horror that Bernie isn't gonna back someone that's had it in for him since day one, and has sat as her party
— Q (@thabigQ) May 21, 2016
has lost hundreds of elections since 2010. She has been a HORRIBLE chair. I'd argue a recliner could do a better job.
— Q (@thabigQ) May 21, 2016
So, just how bad is Wasserman Schultz in her capacity as party chair? So bad that Van Jones recently said on CNN that he’d prefer Reince Priebus to her.
Van Jones says he wishes Reince Priebus was the chair of his party instead of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. https://t.co/9xWhVSsXGP

DWS sucks as chair. How are u going to have a former Co chair of clinton 08 as DNC chair
— Nolan (@nflores528) May 21, 2016
@cascamike @BernieSanders @DWStweets @Tim_Canova Time the Wasserman gets booted for the sake of national security reasons
— TJMoore (@JBananas2) May 21, 2016
Yesss! What a destructive force @DWStweets is for Dems. https://t.co/jwOgH9dDDj

At this point, it’s not certain who has more thoroughly worn out their welcome with Democrats: Wasserman Schultz , or the Independent from Vermont who really has little to lose at this point and might as well take down the party chair with him.
Bernie is not trying to win any friends on his way out

not a huge DWS fan but honestly not cool.

I'm a democrat but his petulant behavior is even annoying me. Tired of the hissy fits.
— Suzanne (@Castlesuzanne) May 21, 2016
I openly opposed @DWStweets until I found that @berniesanders supports her opponent. I was wrong, she has my full support now. @thedemocrats
— Willy (@WillySkyKing) May 21, 2016
It didn’t take long for Wasserman Schultz to respond. Sure, she claims be neutral in the presidential race, but her statement is a model of restraint.
.@DWStweets showing CLASS here. Something @BernieSanders & his minions aren't familiar with. https://t.co/KApjIXfE6J

Neutral. Right.
— Rebecca (@rebecca_justice) May 21, 2016
"Neutral in the primary process" Oh give me a freaking break! @DWStweets @BernieSanders @CNNSotu
— Sick and tired (@AgnesSBaker) May 21, 2016
@mmurraypolitics @DWStweets If only her actions matched her words. Neutral? Can't tell if she she's just trolling at this point
— Omar (@1Lcampesino) May 21, 2016
She's 'neutral' like the US was neutral before WWII. No overt war declaration but massive influence.
— IT Guy (@ITGuy1959) May 21, 2016
this makes Sanders look petty and small
— Tom (@TomSurv) May 21, 2016
@mmurraypolitics While I have my qualms with DWS as party chair, she is a bigger person than Bernie is.
— Fisch (@nwfisch) May 21, 2016
Bernie always needs an excuse as to why he LOST the primary. So now DWS is the villain? Bernie stop whining @DWStweets
