BOSTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren on Sunday called the email hack of the Democratic National Committee an embarrassment for the party and the country.
‘‘What happened over the Democratic national party should not have happened,’’ Warren said during an interview aired Sunday on WCVB-TV.
The Massachusetts Democrat also said she doesn’t understand why Hillary Clinton has given former party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz a role in her campaign.
Schultz and other top party officials resigned after emails exposed an apparent lack of neutrality in the presidential primary race between Clinton and Bernie Sanders on the eve of the party’s convention.
Clinton, the party’s nominee, has said Wasserman Schultz will serve as honorary chair of her campaign’s 50-state program to help elect Democrats.
Warren expressed confidence in longtime Democratic operative Donna Brazile, who is serving as the party’s interim chair, calling her ‘‘a woman of real integrity and strength.’’
‘‘She’s not going to be pushed around in that job,’’ Warren said. ‘‘I think she’s going to evaluate what we need at the Democratic Party and I’m grateful for that. We need some to get in there and clean house.’’
