Will Debbie Wasserman Schultz Lose Her DNC Chair?

Even in an era of hyper partisanship Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a step above the run of the mill manic proselytizer. No one really took seriously her fanciful delusions that she peddled as sacred truths until yesterday. At last DWS attracted some serious attention and it may cost her her job as head of the DNC. If rumors are to be believed she was already destined to be put down after the election but now her immediate survival is in doubt. The gentle lady from Florida had been caught up in a lie and a pretty malicious lie at that. Schultz has been caught putting words he would have never uttered into the mouth of Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren. “We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel” shrieked Schultz.
Ambassador Oren shot back: “I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel. Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle,”

When confronted with that retort Schultz resorted to further lies.



“I didn’t say he said that and unfortunately, that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. It’s not surprising they would deliberately misquote me. What I always say is that unfortunately the Republicans have made Israel a political football, which is dangerous for Israel. And Ambassador Oren has said that we can’t ever suggest that there is any daylight between the two parties on Israel because there isn’t. And that that’s harmful to Israel. That’s what I said, and that is accurate.”

But she did say that. The reporter from the conservative newspaper, Phillip Klein of the Washington Examiner had her on tape or iPhone or whatever.



Now Schultz has been caught misrepresenting an ambassador and a member of the media albeit only a conservative medium and her career path looks bumpy.
