Are there no consequences for lying? Even on national television?
Earlier today, Philip Klein reported that DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said this: We know, and Ive heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.
Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to America, released a statement saying that Wasserman Schultz was wrong. 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, said Oren in a statement.
So in a TV appearance this evening, Wasserman Schultz was asked about these events. But instead of acknowledging her misstatement, the DNC chair attacked the reporter who quoted her.
I didnt say he said that, Wasserman Schultz said. And unfortunately, that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. Its 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 cant ever suggest that there is any daylight between the two parties on Israel because there isnt. And that thats harmful to Israel. Thats what I said, and that is accurate.
But in fact, Klein has proof that Wasserman Schultz did say what Klein reported.

I hope not. She’s one of the best things that ever happened to conservatives.
From what I can seem Debbie is a dump..
Obama loses and she’s definitely gone. Moonbats can only take so much and aren’t very forgiving. I still wonder why the Fire Marshall didn’t cite her hair as a grease fire hazard.
