The email is one of over 19,000 internal emails from DNC officials to be leaked online Friday morning.

Other gems include one party official floating an idea about using Bernie Sanders‘ religious faith, or lack thereof, to take him down a few points, a staffer lamenting that there is no “fuck you” emoji for Fox News reporters, and operatives trying to broker a peace between Wasserman Schultz and MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski.
