Debbie Wasserman Schultz is facing increasing pressure over medical marijuana and it could cost her the election.
The main donor behind the medical marijuana initiative, John Morgan, told POLITICO Florida that he has been deciding for weeks whether to raise as much as $250,000 to help Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s congressional opponent, Tim Canova.Morgan said:
I just don’t understand. She’s the Democratic National Committee chair and she’s the last Democrat to get on board with this? Even Donald Trump supports medical marijuana.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Wasserman Schultz is also quoted saying:
I’m still evaluating my position on that amendment. I still want to make sure that we are protecting people. So that we can focus on getting medical marijuana to people who need it and to where we know it actually can be helpful.
I have not been opposed to medical marijuana.
But in 2014 she stated the proposal Morgan financed would allow for “abuse, fraud and accidents.”
Morgan continued to criticize Wasserman Schultz by saying:
Mark my words, when she steps onstage at the [Democratic National] convention, the crescendo and cascade of boos will do nothing to unify our party. It will continue to divide it.
