DNC Chair Debbie Schultz (Rep, D-FL) Medical Pot Offer Left Twisting in the Wind
Bill Smith, Editor, ARRA News Service: Any day that the DNC's "kook-in-chief" Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Rep-FL) is left twisting in the wind by a fellow democrat is a good day! Last week, The Daily Caller identified that Schultz has been seeking the revocation of a fellow Floridan's public criticism of her previous opposition on the legalization of medical marijuana. Even fellow Floridians not that "she is a bully."
Word on the street, "Debbie" want's to position herself for a run for the U.S. Senate in 2016. She couldbe the new "Reid replacement" annoyance in the U.S. Senate. If you have heard her speak, you know what I mean.
The Daily Caller reported: The office of Florida U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz — also the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee — offered to reverse her opposition to medical marijuana legalization if an Orlando attorney and activist would retract his criticism of her.
Wasserman Schultz’s office issued the proposition to a middleman for activist-attorney John Morgan, according to Politico.
“In a tizzy over this Politico story. Saying she might be willing to support new amendment. Any chance you’ll retract your statement,” Ben Pollara, a Morgan associate, wrote in an email to him on Thursday.
Pollara was referencing an article published earlier ... in which Morgan and other medical marijuana activists slammed Wasserman Schultz’s prohibitive stance on the issue.
Morgan replied to Pollara shortly after, declining the Democrat’s quid pro quo, according to emails Morgan sent Politico later in the day.
“She is a bully. I beat bullies up for a living,” Morgan wrote Pollara.
Though it not entirely clear why Wasserman Schultz or her staffers sought to quiet Morgan, it likely has to do with reports that she is considering running for Senate in 2016.
In the initial Politico article, Morgan said that Wasserman Schultz’s opposition to the legalization of medical pot “disqualifies her from the nomination.”
“A United States senator from the Democratic Party should be in favor of the decriminalization of marijuana as a base test. Debbie is more severe,” Morgan added. “Her position denies terminally ill and chronically ill people compassion.”
Morgan and Wasserman Schultz have a tumultuous history. The Democratic party leader publicly opposed Florida Amendment 2, which Morgan spent $4 million of his own money to get on last November’s ballot.
The amendment did not pass, however, coming just two points shy of the 60 percent needed to pass.
Last June, Morgan called Wasserman Schultz an “irritant” who is largely “despised.” He also vowed to never donate to the Democratic party while she was in leadership.
Morgan explained why he declined the offer from Wasserman Schultz’s office as well as why he put her on blast.
“Actions have consequences,” he told Politico late Thursday. “Her days of pushing people around are over.”
