Debbie Wasserman Schultz beats Bernie troll. |
More on Laura Loomer later.
Former Democratic National Committee chairwoman and Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz easily beaten a candidate backed by the Squad and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
The divisiveness of Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) didn't help Jen Perelman win her bid to unseat Wasserman Schultz.
Perelman practiced corporate law before becoming a full-time mother.
Rep. Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) is leading in the polls. As of right now, she has 75% of the vote.
The race isn't called yet but it's clear that Wasserman Schultz isn't sweating over the results.
I want to thank all the primary voters who put their trust in me. It is an honor and privilege to represent you in our fight for a more just, compassionate and equitable America. Of course, that’s what this general election will be all about. pic.twitter.com/djmnZGX58r— Debbie Wasserman Schultz (@DWStweets) August 19, 2020
Perelman tried some last minute shenanigans. She sent a troll to bother the congresswoman.
The troll was allegedly shoved by the congresswoman. The troll decided to press charges.
Florida could charge Wasserman Schultz with minor battery which is a misdemeanor. It will not likely be a criminal case. It will likely be arbitration. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Jen Perelman vows to take on Wasserman Schultz in 2022. |

Will this to amount to anything? Perhaps a public apology, perhaps not.— Jen Perelman For Congress (@JENFL23) August 17, 2020
Either way, I’m beyond proud of the courage it took this young lady to stand up & do this.
Our elected officials are supposed to be held to a higher standard.
Hopefully this sets precedence.
The attempts backfired and Floridians saw through the stunt and immediately backed Wasserman Schultz, a survivor of a mail bomb plot, death threats, cancer and sexual abuse.
Wasserman Schultz was vilified by Sanders in 2016 when his struggling campaign accused her of putting her finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton.
Wasserman Schultz for her part, didn't hide her fact that she supported Clinton but she also said that would support Sanders if he won too.
Wikileaks leaked emails between Wasserman Schultz and DNC workers. The lawmaker slammed Sanders for being whiner. She resigned from the leadership.
Wasserman Schultz represents Florida's 23rd Congressional District. She held that seat since 2013. It was then the 20th Congressional District which she held since 2005.
