WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The release called on Palmieri to resign immediately.
"Make no mistake, had Clinton staff and allies spoken this way about other groups, they would be dismissed," the release said on Wednesday. "Just imagine if Clinton’s spokesperson was caught calling prominent Muslims or Jewish converts frauds for embracing their faith and mocking them for doing so because it was socially acceptable."
The email exchange was among thousands of documents released this week by WikiLeaks.
"I imagine they [Catholics] think it is the most socially acceptable politically conservative religion," Palmeiri wrote. "Their rich friends wouldn’t understand if they became evangelicals."
In addition, the release charged that bigotry is endemic in the Clinton campaign, as evidenced by Clinton’s recent characterization of her opponents as an irredeemable basket of deplorables.
