ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland officials were highly visible at the start of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, with prominent Democrats appearing on the stage and calling for unity in support for Hillary Clinton amid an embarrassing email scandal that was hanging over the convention’s first day.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake gaveled in the convention’s start, stepping in for outgoing Democratic Party chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz who abruptly canceled in the aftermath of an email scandal involving her aides. The Florida congresswoman is leaving her position after publication of emails suggesting the DNC favored Clinton over Bernie Sanders, when it had pledged to stay neutral.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat and the convention’s parliamentarian, took the stage shortly after the convention opened in Philadelphia. He told the convention hall that “all of us must bind together for our country” and support Clinton.

I would not put to much thought into Cummings or the mayor. Everyone knows they are just awful. They are pandering to a certain demo, that is all.
How can the MSM keep on parroting the line " publication of emails suggesting the DNC favored Clinton over Bernie Sanders", when it's obvious to the dopiest among us that those were clearly meant to favor her?
