VIDEO: In repeal debate, Wasserman Schultz hides behind words of Tucson survivor
My mouth literally dropped open when I read this. We all know Democrats routinely like to use minorities and victims as human shields – especially in the middle of a heated debate on a contentious issue, but this absolutely takes the cake.
First, the video of Wasserman Schultz’s remarks is (via Fox Nation):
This is video of her floor remarks.
The story, as reported by the liberal TMPDC site:
As Democrats ramp up their day-long press tour to criticize the House Republican plan to vote on a repeal of the landmark health care reform bill today, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is using this month’s tragedy in Tucson to take on the GOP.
Speaking at a press conference this morning, Wasserman Schultz — who was joined by several other Democratic members of Congress as well as several Obama administration officials including Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — said that one of the heroes of the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) in the hospital is opposed to the House legislative action today.
“Normally I would step to a microphone like this and tell a story about the impact that decision might have on a constituent in my district,” Wasserman Schultz said. “Instead what I’m going to do is share with you what Pat Maisch — who was the hero who dropped the second magazine out of the gunman’s hand during the tragedy in Tucson — what she planned to say to Gabby Giffords when she was waiting on line to talk to her.”
Wasserman Schultz said Maisch wanted the health care reforms signed into law by President Obama in March kept in place, and that the Arizona grandmother bemoaned the tone of the repeal debate led by the new Republican House majority.
“[Maisch] wanted me to share that she wanted us to choose our words more carefully,” Wasserman Schultz said. “She had planned to tell Gabby, amazingly even before this tragedy, how inappropriate she thought [it was that] ‘job-killing’ was part of the title of this legislation.”
The NYT’s Caucus blog has more:
In her defense of the health care law, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Democrat of Florida, said Wednesday that the woman who grabbed the second magazine out of the hands of the gunman accused of shooting Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others had come to see Ms. Giffords in Tucson that day to urge her to fight Republican efforts to repeal the law.
“Heed the words of Pat Maisch, heed the words of millions needing health care,” said Ms. Wasserman Schultz on the floor of the House Wednesday morning, hours before Republican leaders had scheduled a vote on the repeal measure. Ms. Wasserman Schultz said that Ms. Maisch, 61, had come to tell Ms. Giffords that she found the title of the repeal bill — ”Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act” — to be “disingenuous” and to urge her to fight it.
Excuse me for a minute while I ….
We all knew this would happen in the aftermath of the Tucson tragedy. Democrats would hide behind the victims of the tragedy in order to foster lies about murderer Jared Loughner’s motivations as well to try and promote their liberal their agendas. Democrats would declare that we needed to “do it for Gabby” and/or “do it for the Tucson victims/survivors” etc, but Wasserman Schultz truly deserves to be recognized for this one-of-a-kind performance. And let’s face it – that’s what it is. It’s a performance. Academy Award worthy, in fact. Substituting emotion-based “arguments” for substantive, factual debate, as is per the norm for Democrats – especially when it comes to the issue of “caring” for your fellow men and women, as if no one cares for their fellow man outside of the left.
I’m so disgusted I can’t even see straight. Wasserman Schultz clearly has no shame. None. In her district? Let her know what you think.
By the way, as I was writing this, the House voted to repeal Obamacare.
Here’s a screen grab of the final vote count, via Cox Radio reporter Jamie Dupree:
Vote count - House repeal of HCR
Nice.
And now, on to the Senate …

Wasserman-Schultz is going to be getting a lot more camera time, just watch. I read recently that she’s one of the few young, attractive Democrats they have to counter conservative women who play well on camera, such as Palin, Noem, and Ayotte. We’re going to be seeing a lot of her over the next two years.
I hope you have your favorite head-banging spot picked out, ST.
On the vote itself, I thought we’d get more Ds crossing the aisle. I guess, with the vote a forgone conclusion, possible switchers saw no penalty in playing loyal Party droid.
Have you seen this bull crap??? Apparently comparing the Right to Nazis is still in fashion.

Where the hell is Sheriff Dipstick now?!?!?!?! – Lorica
Life Afirming is rich considering that this woman is a supporter of abortion on demand…
When you take this in the context of the Dr in Philly who has been charged w/murder of both patients and unborn children brutally murdered during a post delivery snip of the spin…Debbie WasherTruth Shultz (I know nothing, I hear nothing) should go back to the village she is from as it is sorely missing its idiot…
Lorica: Yep.
Good Lord, I am so behind these days :) LOL :)
These Dem’s have no shame. And this BS is just so old and tiring.I don’t think it will work to their advantage.
No kind words for the Judge who was killed shielding another person from the attack.Only the rantings of an Democractic Rep,who supports abortion.
How do you argue with “logic” like this? Unbelievable!!
She ‘s from my next door district. She is ugly inside out.
I’m surprised this twisted POS didn’t tell us that Dr. Kermit Gosnell is in favor of Obamacare too. I’m sure he’s a hero to pro-aborts like Wasserman Schults
One of the few young, attractive Democrats? Beg your pardon, but Ms. Waterhead-Schlitz is ugly inside and out. Pray she gets caught and canned, for most have had their fill of this beoch. She may be one of the Democrat’s new “young guns”, but so was Alan Grayson, that pig.
Using the victims as shields? They learned it from the experts of such tactics.
I’ll leave it to your imaginations who I’m naming as their inspirational mentors, but they’re based in the middle east.
Wasserman Schultz is obviously trying to earn the Alan Grayson award for most vile human being of 2011.
Obamacare doesn’t kick in for another couple of years. Yet somehow it is creating all these wonderful private sector jobs?
Yeah, Dave, both of them.
If you don’t count the thousands of doctors who have retired early or will retire early specifically because of this obamanation. Then “more jobs” becomes really dicey, even for a liar like Pelousy.
Does this “Congresswoman” have no shame? It has apparently been established that this deranged shooter was a Bush-hating left-wing pot smoker!!
I wonder if she and Sheila Jackson Lee room together?
Or maybe were roommates at Yale or U of Virginia?
Another shining example of a mushmind child whose mushmind was still mush when her “education” ended, and has the typical ethics of any jackass politician.
First of all, before the shootings NO ONE was talking about the rhetoric! Secondly, it is not health care reform–it is health care TAKE OVER. Socialized medicine does not improve the quality of health care and it does not cost less to cover more people. IT WAS NEVER HEALTH CARE REFORM. No bill, some 2300 pages that no one in Congress read thoroughly before signing—is anything but an “Obomination!” Yes, I know! Americans want HEALTH CARE REFORM, which does not include a complete government take over where there are panels to decide who gets what health care. AND if this bill was so terrific, tell me why the Congress opted OUT? Sorry, lady–save your performance for the stage!
