Debbie Wasserman Schultz Blocking Bipartisan Iran Sanctions Breaks with Pro-Israel Democrats
Free Beacon ^ | 1/7/14 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 01/07/2014 9:28:31 AM PST by Nachum

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.) has become a major obstacle to a new bipartisan Iran sanctions measure, according to multiple sources on Capitol Hill and in Florida.

Wasserman Schultz has broken with leading pro-Israel Democrats like New York Senator Chuck Schumer and New Jersey Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker, privately urging her fellow Democrats to follow the White House’s lead by opposing a bipartisan House resolution backing new sanctions on Iran, according to multiple congressional sources close to the debate.

The Iran resolution fell apart in the final days of 2013 after House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) withdrew his support for it following a last minute lobbying campaign helmed by Wasserman Schultz, who sources identified as the “key Democrat” leading the anti-sanctions charge.

Wasserman Schultz’s backroom bid to kill the sanctions measure has angered some Democrats on Capitol Hill and in her hometown of South Florida.

Yep. I saw Mayo-hair get pummeled at a town hall meeting a few years ago by some Jews who know she is a phony.

She doesn’t advertise her public events anymore...they just happen with controlled audiences.

Doesn’t matter if the sanctions pass with a veto-proof majority; the Clown and his boss Val will REFUSE TO ENFORCE THEM.

Fraud. I don't recall if RICO was involved too.

Odd how it has stayed out of the news.

Yes. However, he was always aware of his ethnic heritage. On both sides of his family, he came from a long line of Jewish rabbis. His father may have converted, but he was forever aware of his familial ancestry and ancient cultural and genealogical roots.

They're so furious, they'll close ranks behind her and the Kenyan and block the sanctions measure, then push through Senate ratification of the "treaty". Thanks Nachum.

Washerwoman-Schultz isn’t Jewish; she’s an atheistic Obamazombie.

Good afternoon.

That may have been rescinded:

"May" is the operative word. There are more articles on this, but I don't have access to the data bases I use to verify such things (i.e. Accurint, Masterfiles, etc.), at the moment.
