Everybody in here is my enemy – except for the people from Hamilton. The rest of you are my enemies." Her campaign responded to the leak with a statement saying, "This thinly veiled attempt at intimidation from unnamed party bosses unfortunately reeks of the kind of sexism successful women have had to contend with throughout history." Mercer County Democratic Party chairwoman Elizabeth Maher Muoio refuted this claim, saying "Clearly, the results were not what she had hoped for, but to blame them on sexism or on a closed process is deceptive, untrue and insulting."{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/new-jersey-democrats-epic-freakout |title=New Jersey Democrat's Epic Freakout |author=Nuzzi, Olivia |publisher=The Daily Beast |date=May 15, 2014 |accessdate= August 9, 2017}}
