While her supporters were drowning out the remaining anti-Hillary delegates who didn’t have their credential revoked by the DNC with chants of “Hillary”, the first woman ever to secure a major party’s nomination for president still hasn’t won over a large wing of her party amid an embarrassing scandal that caused a political uproar ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
“I just can’t thank you enough for being here for me”, Wasserman Schultz told the roughly 50 attendees at the reception. From the convention team to the Democratic National Committee staff to all of the volunteers to our donors, it has been a remarkable team effort. Sometimes you just have to take one for the team.

Wassermann Schultz became one of the most controversial figures of the week when hacked DNC emails were released by Wikileaks, and they showed that she and other officials seemed to conspire against Bernie Sanders.
The poll also shows that 52 percent of voters in CD 23 view Wasserman Schultz favorably, with 35 percent regarding her unfavorably, “a staggering decline from her popularity in past campaigns”, the pollsters write.
“This is a man who…encouraged the Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s emails”. When the Clinton campaign was asked at a briefing today if Wasserman Schultz would be in the arena tonight, campaign staffers said they didn’t know. No, I’m not kidding.

Wasserman Schultz along with representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Curbelo, Albio Sires, and Ted Deutch introduced a bill to extend the authority of U.S. President Barack Obama to sanction Maduro government officials for up to three years for alleged human rights violations. It’s treasonous. It’s seditious.
