Voicemails from the Democratic National Committee emails leaked last week were re-released by WikiLeaks Wednesday in a further embarrassment to the DNC, Politico reports.
"I'm furious for what you are doing for Bernie Sanders," an unidentified woman is heard saying on one of the recorded messages. There were a number from callers angry about the amount of influence the DNC permitted Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign to have.
"He's getting way too much influence. I'm on a fixed income. I spend over $300 donated to Hillary and what I see is the DNC bending over backwards for Bernie," said one message.
"Do not let him rule the Democratic Party; he's not a democrat, please stop this man now," said a message, according to Mediaite.
One voicemail, according to the Dallas Morning News, is of a woman in the Phoenix area complaining about the inclusion of philosophy professor Cornel West on the Democratic platform committee. A democratic socialist like Sanders, West was an early supporter of President Barack Obama, before becoming a harsh critic of his administration.
Of the 29 voicemails published on WikiLeaks, most just ask for a call back, and many more are innocuous. Two are calls from offices of ambassadors asking about a St. Patrick's Day event at the White House, while another ambassador asked about a scheduled dinner with Obama.
Gawker headlined a report about the "boring" trove and pointed out it was recycled material that had been released first last week.
