Debbie Wasserman Schultz Acting In Own Interests - Not The DNC's According To Anonymous Sources

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

The head of the Democratic National Committee, Florida U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is standing by a Jewish-outreach aide who was thrust into the limelight last week by a Facebook post where she joked about Jews by referring to them as “Jewbags.”

Democratic sources started leaking stories that hiring aide, Danielle “Dani” Gilbertat exposed a rift within President Barack Obama’s campaign since top officials at the Obama campaign and the DNC objected to the appointment because they already had a Jewish-outreach coordinator.

Wasserman Schultz also disputed the anonymous sources by stating “I don’t know what they’re talking about,” Wasserman Schultz said, criticizing “those famous anonymous sources that never have the nerve to actually say what they’re saying — make accusations on the record.”

The sources implied Wasserman Schultz was putting her own personal politics and relationships before the interests of the DNC when she hired Gilbert, the daughter of major Democratic donor Mark Gilbert of Boca Raton, FL.

Wasserman Schultz said all the gossip hasn’t damaged her relationship with the Obama campaign. She said she is in contact “a few times a week” with Obama campaign manager Jim Messina.
