Blowback from staffer scandal burns Wasserman Schultz

'We wish she would go away and stop being so public by doubling down on negative stories,' said one Florida DNC member.
The chatter about a House leadership post is gone. So is talk of statewide office. After Hillary Clinton’s defeat, there’s no prospect of an administration job for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
One year after the Florida congresswoman’s resignation as national party chair at the Democratic National Convention — where activists booed and shouted “shame!” at her during a Florida delegation breakfast speech — the once-rising star's political fortunes continue to fade, beset by critics on all sides.
Wasserman Schultz is again on defense after steadfastly refusing to explain why she continued to employ Imran Awan, an IT staffer who was under a federal investigation for an alleged equipment and data scam in the U.S. House since February. She finally fired him on July 25, one day after authorities arrested him on a seemingly unrelated mortgage fraud charge. He was at the airport leaving for Pakistan, after wiring $283,000 there.
The firing came a full six months after about two dozen House Democrats dismissed four of Awan’s relatives and a friend, all of whom were under investigation with him.
Wasserman Schultz broke her public silence on Awan last week, portraying herself as the victim of "right wing media" attacks rooted in anti-Muslim bigotry aimed at Awan and the IT group.
But fellow Democrats are as confounded and disbelieving as ever by her penchant for making puzzling and stubborn political missteps.
“We wish she would go away and stop being so public by doubling down on negative stories,” said Nikki Barnes, a progressive DNC member from Florida, who believes Wasserman Schultz left the national party “in shambles” while chair, culminating with the hack of DNC servers and the release of embarrassing internal emails by WikiLeaks in the 2016 campaign. As for Wasserman Schultz's defense, Barnes said “none of this makes sense. It doesn't sound like racial profiling … there must have been something for her.”

She needs to just drop politics and be a housewife. She's kind of pretty and I bet she can cook too.

I haven't heard this song since I had to sing it at Mass in Catholic school.

1) She looks like a Sheephead.
2) She's a south Florida Yankee liberal. No way she knows how to cook anything a southern man would eat.

She had all the Awans on payroll in a kickback scheme

Lot of southern men, women and children in south Florida, GT. Perhaps not so many located around the extreme southern coastlines. Up through the middle of the state, on the west and east coast, from Monroe and Dade county, even the southern portion of Orange county is where you will find the cattle ranchers and farmers.

They don't want her gone. It's just the politically correct game they're playing. They'll still donate money to her next campaign and do everything they can to make sure she wins. It's fake outrage.
