DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz took to YouTube and put out a campaign video hoping to inspire Democrats to keep working hard, and to give them hope of winning future mid-term elections.
Wasserman Schultz acknowledged that “Republicans had a good night,” and Democrats did not.According to Wasserman Schultz, the Democrat Party will now be conducting their very own “top-to-bottom assessment,” or “autopsy” to try to figure out what went wrong for them on election night 2014, and what they can do to improve voter turnout in upcoming mid-term elections.
Wasserman Schultz and Democrats mocked the Republicans National Committee in 2012, when the GOP announced that they would do an election night “autopsy” of why and how they lost the presidential election.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Karma.
But then Wasserman Schultz doubled-down on her belief-the real reason why Americans rejected President Obama and her political party in 2014.
“…..But our party has a problem. We know we’re right on the issues. The American people believe in the causes we’re fighting for. But the electoral success we have when our Presidential nominee is able to make a case to the country as a whole, doesn’t translate in other elections. That’s why we lost in 2010, and that’s why we lost on Tuesday. We’ve got to do better…..” –DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (YouTube)
Americans do not “believe in the causes” Democrats are “fighting” for because if they did, those Democrat congressional candidates and incumbents, who championed those very same issues, would have won all of their respective races.
This past election night was nothing less than a rebuke of President Obama and his failed policies. Americans spoke loudly and justly. Democrats lost.
Wasserman Schultz also stated that DNC would be naming a “committee of key party stakeholders and experts (Czars) to try to sober up her party’s election day hangover.
By the way, Wasserman Schultz was wearing her congressional lapel pin while taping this political video for the DNC.Breach of ethics?
The argument can be made that congressional lapel pins legislative resources that are paid for with taxpayer dollars, are not to be used for “campaigning or political purposes,” as described in the House of Representatives Member’s handbook.
The House Ethics Committed directed the SHARK TANK to page 123 of the handbook.
Here is the text from the handbook:
