DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Calls Out Rep. Joe Walsh For His Public Tirade

video
» 114 comments

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz slammed Congressman Joe Walsh‘s tirade against a constituent on Friday’s Morning Joe. “That’s the tea party unhinged!” Wasserman-Shultz exclaimed.

“Let me just say,” Joe Scarborough countered. “You cannot put that one around the tea party.”

“Well, no, no, no — it’s an example of a candidate, a member of Congress with no experience who clearly doesn’t know how to engage in give and take with people who disagree with them,” Wasserman-Shultz continued. “I mean, I’ve been in office for 19 years, plenty of people show up to my town halls and don’t agree with me, I don’t rip their heads off!”

“That’s not how it’s done now?” co-host Mika Brzezinski snarked.

“It’s less of a tirade and more of a ring tone,” observed Meet The Press host David Gregory.

“I might make that my ring tone,” interjected Brzezinski. “That would be a great ringtone!” joked Scarborough.

“Seriously, it shows a lack of respect for the people,” Wasserman-Shultz concluded.

    Wasserman Schultz calls someone out. Soooooo? No one I know of gives a rat’s arse what she thinks. Maybe she should worry about her own party and maybe teach Pelosi that the House can pass a budget without worrying about a filibuster. See, there is no such thing in the House.

    So tell me Mediaite, why no story about Pelosi bold faced lying on Jon Stewart the other day? Why did Jon Stewart, the “non partisan, politically knowledgeable” not call out Pelosi for the blatant lie.

    Actually, he was wrong. The USA doesn’t subsidize the USPS. In some ways, it’s much the other way around.

    And, the USPS is the largest single employer of veterans. The Deadbeat Dad wants the USPS to close, or wouldn’t care if it did. Thousands of unemployed veterans. You and the Deadbeat Dad think that is acceptable. Why do you hate our veterans? Especially on Veterans’ Day?

    Has anyone explained to Mr. Walsh that we had deregulation from the 80′s through the early 2000′s and then the collapse of the financial markets after the banking industry lobbied for removal of regulations that governed and protected the public. Some one also needs to inform him that the Dodd Frank act is not more regulation it is an act to put the regulations back in place. Mr. Scarborough yes the way he acted is the mentality of the Tea Party. It has been seen time and time again with Chris Christie, Joe Walsh, and let’s not forget Allen West, so do not say “You can not put this around the Tea Party.” They attack and humiliate those who do not agree with them and think it is OK and sociably acceptable so I would say yes Ms. Schultz can lay this at the feet of the Tea Party. 

  • Rob

    Why don’t you go hang out with Walsh for awhile..maybe you two can get together and yell at each other how smart you two are..or even…

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Rep Wasserman-Schultz is an amazingly resilient person. She had breast cancer and full treatment for it (for those who have gone thru that or are close to someone who has, it is actually quite horrible and can be completely debilitating), but she kept going, keeping up her Congress duties, keeping up her family, and taking on more and more organizational responsibility in the D Caucus. No wonder the Rs despise her: no one can outwork or outperform her, and that’s a particular slap in the face of Boehner’s Do Nothing R Caucus and the Boehner-McConnell Know Nothing Congressional Rs.

    The Ds are going to miss Walsh when he’s gone after the new Congress is sworn in. He’s been such a reliable face for the Tea Party. Also going to miss Allen West and maybe 40 or 50 others – it’ll be surprising if even a handful of TP Caucus Rs get into the next Congress. But that Texas moron ex-judge will still be around, and dozens of others just as reliable.

Beyond her deceptive nature one of her primary areas of expertise is habitually trying to destroy her opponent’s character with fabricated crap. She is a political hack, a disgrace.

    Senator Joe Walsh is plain and clear a bully.   Of course he’s exercising his right of free speech.  But not letting anybody else there in the bar exercising theirs.   He certainly doesn’t need to be on the people there’s wavelength.  But geesh he should let them speak too without intimidating them.  Dear Mezzovox Day pass from a psych. hospital.   I hope you realize mental aka psychiatric illnesses are real.  They are merely people feeling sorry for themselves. I am a mental  health advocate at a rehab center.  One of the worst features of these illnesses is not only the suffering of the disorders themselves but the stigma.  Stigma can and does lead to unfair discrimination in housing (NIMBY-Not in my backyard), higher education and employment.  Perhaps the worst it leads to shame in the diagnosis.  I think your statement is quite stigmatizing.  Mental illneses are real and people do suffer from them.  Oh btw they are treatable with the right treatments with personal, medical and community support.
