Wasserman Schultz: We’ve Made It Clear Weiner ‘Needs To Resign’ But It’s His Decision
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her new sparring partner Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus appeared together on Meet the Press this morning. Yet unlike the bipartisan agreement on Face the Nation regarding the Anthony Weiner scandal, the two party chairs were quick to point the finger at one another regarding which party has worse leadership.
David Gregory pressed Wasserman Schultz regarding her position on Weiner, and she forcefully stated:
“Anthony Weiner needs to resign so he can focus on his family, focus on his own well being . . . at the end of the day a member of Congress makes their own decision and that’s certainly going to be up to Anthony Weiner, but we have made it clear that he needs to resign.”
Yet Priebus was not satisfied and responded:
“This is a question of leadership . . . it seemed to me that for the first ten days in this circus, that the only job that Nancy Pelosi was interested in saving was Anthony Weiner’s.”
While Priebus continued to suggest Democrats are defending Weiner by not being more forceful in demanding his resignation, Wasserman Schultz alleged it was completely hypocritical for Republicans to point any fingers when the Republican party had their own share of sex scandals that did not result in resignations.
And Wasserman Schultz said she spoke to Weiner who sounded “devastated,” “apologetic” and “remorseful,” yet Gregory smartly wondered whether another word should describe Weiner as of late: “stubborn.”
