Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was Obama’s personal choice to head the DNC, is the perfect mix of arrogance and stupidity.
Via Politico:
Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Friday denied claims that her staff offered a deal to reverse her opposition to medical marijuana in order to silence a Florida donor’s criticisms — attributing the controversy to a misunderstanding.
But text messages and emails obtained by POLITICO indicate her top political adviser was aware of some type of offer to donor John Morgan, who is accusing the South Florida congresswoman of after-the-fact spin. […]
That’s when the proposal was made by Wasserman Schultz’s staff, Morgan said: If he stopped the criticisms, she would be willing to back his new medical-marijuana proposal.
Wasserman Schultz told her hometown newspaper Friday morning that the allegation was “outrageous” and the story was “false.”
“Wasserman Schultz said there were no emails,” the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
But Morgan released an email chain and related text messages that he said showed the medical-marijuana initiative’s political consultant, Ben Pollara, was in contact with Wasserman Schultz’s political adviser, Jason O’Malley, who received an email concerning the alleged deal.
