Bresso: Wasserman Schultz “Hollow” Attack On Jeb Bush

4 Replies

Gineen Bresso, Republican candidate for US Congress CD 23, didn’t appreciate Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s attack on former FL Governor Jeb Bush. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is clearly out of touch with her district, the state of Florida, the United States and even the Democrat party.

Here is a statement from the Bresso campaign:

“I am shocked, yet not that surprised, that on the same day that the Labor Department reported that unemployment in the U.S. rose to 8.2%, Florida Congresswoman and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz would launch a hollow attack on former Florida Governor Jeb Bush for his successful initiative in recruiting Scripps Research Institute to Florida. Her attack on one of Florida’s most accomplished Governors, for recruiting new businesses and bringing high-tech industry and jobs to south Florida, illustrates just how out of touch Wasserman-Schultz truly is when it comes to the issues facing Floridians. Rather than attacking a prominent former Governor, her constituents would probably be better served if she utilized her position as a Congresswoman to help create jobs and economic growth.”

NBC 6 POLL: 85% Agree With Depiction Of Debbie Wasserman Schultz As Obama “Attack Dog”

19 Replies

Opponents of GOP Congressional candidate Ozzie DeFaria tried to make an issue of his calling Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Out of Touch) Obama’s “attack dog”. In a fundraising email, the DeFaria campaign photoshopped a dog collar on DWS to emphasize the point.

Yesterday, WTVJ NBC 6 Miami ran an online poll asking if the Debbie with collar picture “crossed the line”? An overwhelming majority, heck a landslide in Democrat-friendly south Florida, said no, it does not cross the line. From the NBC 6 website:

“Eighty-five percent of the voters in the NBC 6 survey said they did not think Ozzie deFaria’s depiction of Debbie Wasserman Schultz with an apparent dog collar around her neck crossed the line.

Meanwhile, 13 percent said they did think it crossed the line and two percent were undecided.”

This poll means it is unlikely DeFaria’s GOP opponents will bring the issue up again. But expect Debbie and her allies to use this as part of her “play the victim” strategy.

DeFaria, the leader in CD 23 fundraising race, was named a “Young Gun” by the National Republican Congressional Committee.
