\nOne email among the thousands of internal DNC messages released this week by Wikileaks showed DNC CFO Brad Marshall questioning Sanders\u2019 Jewish faith, and suggested that painting the candidate as an atheist \u201ccould make several points difference\u201d in several late primary contests.

\n\u201cIt might may (sic) no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist,\u201d Marshall wrote in a message to several DNC communications directors.
\nThe message does not mention Sanders by name, but he was the only Jewish candidate, and the email came shortly before the Kentucky and West Virginia Democratic primaries.
\nIn a copy of a Facebook post provided by a source, Marshall said that he \u201cdeeply\u201d regrets his \u201cinsensitive, emotional emails.\u201d His Facebook page, upon searching, is private, and the statement is the only content viewable to the public.
\nThe entire Facebook post: \u201cI deeply regret that my insensitive, emotional emails would cause embarrassment to the DNC, the Chairwoman, and all of the staffers who worked hard to make the primary a fair and open process. The comments expressed do not reflect my beliefs nor do they reflect the beliefs of the DNC and its employees. I apologize to those I offended.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
