Wasserman-Schultz Speech Disrupted by Protesters Demanding More DNC Debates

As DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz spoke at a big Democratic rally this morning, protesters disrupted her speech, demanding more debates.

The Democratic presidential candidates are only having six debates, something that’s been criticized by the party’s own candidates and two of the DNC’s own vice chairs. But Wasserman-Schultz has been very insistent that six debates is sufficient.

There was a protest outside DNC headquarters this week, and today, protesters shouted “We want debates!” as the DNC chair spoke.

Wasserman-Schultz fired back and told Democrats shouldn’t be wasting time on fighting over debates when they could be spending that time fighting Republicans instead.
