Wasserman Schultz watch: Dim bulb Debbie is at it again (updated)
The loose cannon DNC Chair is at it again, mouthing stupidities. Via JournOlister Ben Smith of Politico:
...now you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws and literally - and very transparently - block access to the polls to voters who are more likely to vote Democratic candidates than Republican candidates. And it's nothing short of that blatant.
It is old hat for Democrats to accuse Republicans of racism. But where are the GOP proposals to actually pass new Jim Crow laws, enforcing legal segregation in schools, restaurants, transit, drinking fountains, and the like. That is exactly what DWS accuses them of doing.
She also accuses Republicans of wanting to be obvious about blocking access to polls.
Obviously Dim Bulb Debbie does not understand the difference between "figuratively" and "literally." Peter Wehner of Commentary noticed this last week, but even this helpful reminder failed to make an impression on the DNC chair or anyone with access to her. As Peter put it: "For some of us Wasserman Schultz's answers are figuratively, if not literally, like fingernails scratching a chalkboard."
Hat tip: Hot Air
Update: Debbie retracts Jim Crow allegation.
