Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed the Republican Party's choice of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to deliver the GOP response to President Obama's State of the Union address demonstrated the party's lack of diversity.
Oops! Has she looked at the Democratic lineup of presidential candidates lately?
"It's pretty clear that Nikki Haley is being chosen because the Republican Party has a diversity problem," Wasserman Schultz, who's also a Florida congresswoman said in a conference call, according to The Hill, which reported:
Haley, who was born in South Carolina, is the daughter of immigrants from India. She will be delivering the GOP's official response to President Obama's final State of the Union Tuesday night.
The GOP had a response to the DNC chair's statement -- given its own lineup of presidential candidates.
"Like most things Debbie Wasserman Schultz says, that's just ridiculous," said RNC spokesman Michael Short.
"No one disputes the fact Republicans have the most diverse presidential field in the history of either party, though the Democrats do have us beat when it comes to fielding self-described socialists and candidates under FBI investigation."
"Old white people" could also be added to the list, a fact apparently not lost on Wasserman Schultz. At the Iowa Black and Brown Forum Monday, which focused on minority issues, the three candidates -- former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley -- didn't appear on the stage together for photographs or video footage.
We have a negro president. How's that working out for us?
Hillary is nuts. She's 68 & Boinie is in his seventies and the left who was saying just awhile ago they were waiting for all the old white conservative people to die off.
Doesn’t it occur to her that democrats are not immune to father time either? What a damned idiot.
“It’s pretty clear that Nikki Haley is being chosen because the Republican Party has a diversity problem,”
so basically we as Republicans are Damned if we do and Damned if we don’t, meanwhile the DNC can run 4 or I mean 3 old white codgers and they are good as gold on “diversity”....
she also states elsewhere that as a Jew she wasn’t to stand with her muslim pals.....
diversity taken to that level...is clearly pathological....ILLOGICAL,,and quite frankly completely nuts
this women confusion is truly monu.mental
I’m starting to think that the DNC Chairman job interview includes questions like, “Are you willing to say utterly outrageous bullshit in a public forum and be thought a whack job for the rest of your life to advance the front of stupidity?”
[ Damned if we do and Damned if we don’t, meanwhile the DNC can run 4 or I mean 3 old white codgers and they are good as gold on “diversityâ€Â....
Republicans don’t fight as hard (or at all) like democrats and the republicans have let the democrats define the battlefield and the language ]
AND THIS, is EXACTLY WHY Trump is Leading, he is not a Spineless type and HE defines the Battlefied and the Language!
“It’s pretty clear that Nikki Haley is being chosen because the Republican Party has a diversity problem,” Wasserman Schultz, “
I agree. Not enough conservatives.
I keep pointing out the GOPe sent a minority women out there to praise Obama and denounce Trump, and the DNC responded by viciously attacking her and all republicans.
The GOP made total fools of themselves.
Jeebus, Debbie, don’t take swings at your most intrepid ally, the GOP!
“... the Republican Party has a diversity problem...”
Yes, they sure do...They SHOULD be as diverse as the democrats...
Republicans have 2 Latinos, 1 black guy, 1 woman, 1 Indian among their presidential hopefuls...
Democrats have 3 old white people, one being maybe a woman...
Yeah, exactly.
The Republican is White "Oh look ANOTHER White Republican".
The Republican isn't White "Oh look it's their token minority."
Meanwhile, Hillary and Bernie are whiter than the whitest white bread and even Obama is a light skinned Black man who's image was specifically tailored to appeal to Whites.
Can’t say I know of any more repulsive leftist Democrat (though Nancy Pelosi is a close 2nd) than Mz. Wasserman Schultz.
Just the sight of her to me is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
2 things I’m sick of, the whole “diversity” crap and Wasserman Schultz
Wasserman-Schultz means literally, Seamonster-Debt-collector...
The GOP hierarchy wants NIkki the traitor on the ticket a VP!
