Sanders supporters react to DNC reportedly attempting to subvert primary result
Fox News contributor Lawrence Jones speaks to voters about DNC leadership not wanting to give Sanders the nomination.
Fox News contributor and "Hannity" 2020 correspondent Lawrence Jones spoke to Bernie Sanders supporters in North Carolina Thursday about a New York Times report with the headline "Democratic Leaders Willing to Risk Party Damage to Stop Bernie Sanders."
"There's a New York Times report today that is talking about the party leadership actively working against Bernie Sanders and willing to break up the party as a result of that, how do you feel about that?" Jones asked Sanders supporters.
"I mean, unfortunately, it's really kind of what we could see coming to a head since 2016," One supporter said. Adding that he hoped members of the Democratic Party would rally behind Sanders.
One supporter told Jones she thinks "the Democratic Party is isolating their base."
Another supporter called the idea that Democrats would do that "trash."
"I don't know what else to say," she added. "It's harmful to us as a country and to everybody to want to do something like that."
In the latest Fox News poll, Sanders pushes Joe Biden out of the frontrunner spot for the Democratic nomination, capturing a record 31 percent support among primary voters. This is the first 2020 Fox national poll that finds Biden not leading the Democratic race.
