Wasserman Schultz: 'Sometimes you just have to take one for the team' | |||
2016-07-30 | |||
[TheHill] Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the outgoing chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said Thursday that "sometimes you just have to take one for the team." 'This has been a difficult week, there's no question about it," Wasserman Schultz said in remarks at a reception hosted by the National Jewish Democratic Council, the first time she's spoken publicly since announcing she would step down as chairwoman. 'It has been a remarkable team effort, and you know sometimes you just have to take one for the team, and that's OK, it's OK,' she said with a smile.
Emails stolen in a hack of the DNC system that were leaked last weekend Uproar among Sanders supporters threatened to overshadow this week's party convention in Philadelphia, which has included a series of speeches from Democratic heavy hitters including Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Vice President Biden, President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.
The DNC email breach also interjected debate over foreign policy into the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, with Democrats attributing the stolen emails to Russia and going after Trump's past commenting speaking warmly of Russia's leader. Trump on Wednesday said he hoped Russia found Clinton's deleted personal emails from her time as secretary of State, which was widely interpreted by Clinton's campaign criticized it as "a bridge too far," and Trump on Thursday said he was being "sarcastic." 'I can personally attest to how not funny it is," Wasserman Schultz told attendees Thursday. "We were hacked by Russian espionage organizations, and for a presidential candidate to encourage that to happen again, I mean, it's treasonous, it's seditious, it's unacceptable."
