NBC Confirms Wasserman Schultz to Stay As DNC Chair

I’m not a fan of some of her Cuban-hugging policies, but she did good this past election.Chris Jansing just announced that she is staying.

President Barack Obama wants Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz to stay on as his party’s chairwoman, a Democratic official said Monday.

Wasserman Schultz has overseen the Democratic National Committee since early 2011. Party officials credit her in part with helping the president carry her home state of Florida, as well as leading the party to an expanded majority in the Senate and more seats in the House.

Obama is asking DNC members to back Wasserman Schultz when they meet in January, just after the president’s inauguration, said the official, who requested anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

A mother of three and a breast cancer survivor, Wasserman Schultz, 46, has represented a reliably Democratic Fort Lauderdale-area district since 2005. Along the way she has earned a reputation as a workhorse and as an outspoken liberal happy to duke it out on television with her Republican counterparts.

This is the kind of crap that Gotta was ranting about earlier. Just add in a few half hearted questions about VP pics, and a five year old with table manners could do their jobs. Via.

VIDEO- Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “I have not received an apology” from Allen West. His War on Women continues.

As you recall from my previous post about Allen West, it’s pretty obvious that he’s heavily into the War On Women. I wrote that, IMHO, he feels threatened by strong females.  Think Progress has more proof of his misogyny:

  • West contributed to a Florida magazine that called women “oral relief stations”
  • West claimed liberal women were “neutering” American men and causing a crisis of leadership in America
  • West compared conservative women to Spartans, asking them to “raise strong men”
  • He fought to defund Planned Parenthood

And of course, he emailed a full-on vile assault to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who said to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

“I was surprised that he sent that to my personal email, and email he didn’t previously have.”

“He clearly is feeling the pressure. If he can’t handle that pressure, can’t handle being called out in debate on the House floor, he probably should change his position.”

West supposedly claimed, as you can see in the video, that he apologized.  In fact, he keeps making things worse:

West spokeswoman Angela Sachitano doubled down, saying it was Wasserman Schultz who should do the apologizing. Sachitano strenuously denied that West had apologized to Wasserman Schultz and even denied what he’d told Huffington Post.

In fact, we’re waiting on an apology from her,” Sachitano said.

Fun fact: Allen West lives in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s district, not his own. He should apologize for that, too.
