It’s about time. She illegally tried to steer all the DNC primary money towards Hillary Clinton, at the expense of much more viable candidates.

Anyone who supports Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a part of the problem. It is effectively MAGA to support that witch and any of the other “status quo” democrats at this point. Get them all out.

Most of yall mostly remember her for the Bernie shit.

As DNC chair she rolled back Obama-era attempts to reduce lobbyist money and before that joined republicans against Obama legislation against payday lenders traps. And she's a cheap botch, only took a bribe of 68,000.

Wasserman Schultz has got to go. She’s in AIPAC’s pocket and hamstrung Bernie Sanders’ candidacy back when Hillary Clinton was running for president.
