Chair-off: Priebus, Wasserman Schultz Clash over Ebola, ‘War on Women’

RNC and DNC chairs Reince Priebus and Debbie Wasserman Schultz sniped at each other while sitting next to each other on Fox News Sunday, arguing over the GOP would take the Senate, whether Republicans had made amends with women voters, and who was really politicizing the Ebola scare.

Priebus boasted that there was no battleground state in which the GOP was losing, while Wasserman Schultz argued that the fact that the RNC was now spending in places like South Dakota and Georgia showed the map had widened.

Wallace also asked about the “War on Women,” a subject Wasserman Schultz has pushed, sometimes too far.

“Actually Barack Obama is losing women in the United States today,” Priebus said. “This issue is backfiring on Democrats.”

The two also differed over which party was politicizing the Ebola scare, with Priebus and Wallace critiquing the Democrats’ argument about NIH funding and Wasserman Schultz mocking the GOP’s scaremongering tactics.

All in all it was an informative and edifying ten minute stretch of television that will leave you feeling great about the state of our democracy.
