During the primaries of the 2016 Presidential election, many Americans on both sides of the aisle stated that Clinton colluded with the DNC to cheat her then-rival Bernie Sanders from securing the Democratic nomination. These allegations intensified after supporting Wikileaks emails were revealed to the public.
After President Trump defeated Clinton, critics of the Democrats noted the perceived irony. Had the DNC not cheated Sanders out of the nomination, a Democrat may have won the Presidency, asserted many Americans.
Howard Dean did not discuss criticisms regarding Democrats’ behavior. However, he did note his belief that America has “moved to the left.”
