BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday congratulated Pramila Jayapal on her victory in the Democratic primary for Washington’s 7th Congressional District.
“Pramila just proved that candidates can run a strong progressive campaign funded by small-dollar donors and win big,” Sanders said. “The people-powered movement that propelled our campaign to victory in states around the country is already changing how campaigns are run up and down the ticket.”
Jayapal trailed early in the race, but saw a steady climb in the polls following Sanders’ endorsement on April 13. In addition to campaigning with her, the Vermont senator helped Jayapal raise $226,000 from 27,692 individual donations and recruited volunteers to make 140,314 phone calls and knock doors.
“When you think of the political revolution, I want you to think about Pramila,” Sanders said.
Jayapal now moves on to the general election in November where she will face one of two opponents she beat in Tuesday’s primary by more than 16 points.

I don't know if the DNC-Clintons physically touched Bernie, but WikiLeaks-Assange says that both Bernie Sanders, and his wife Jane, were physically threatened by them.

According to Assange, Bernie Sanders was threatened. During an interview with Australian journalist John Pilger, who is based in the United Kingdom, Assange disclosed some very concerning information.
“Look, I think—you know, we know how politics works in the United States. Whoever—whatever political party gets into government is going to merge with the bureaucracy pretty damn fast. It will be in a position where it has some levers in its hand. And Bernie Sanders was independent candidate trying to get the nomination trough the Democratic Party and if you ask me he did get the nomination, but he was threatened to drop out.”

Thanks for your opinion, which I give less credit, than I would give to Assange's opinion.
But thanks again, for your attempt to correct the record!

He probably gleaned this from one of the documents that are going to be released between Sept 12th and November 7th.
