DNC hoping Wasserman Schultz's lies will just go away

The Democratic National Committee, and its chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, are laying low for a while, hoping everyone will forget about her lies about Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren, and Washington Examiner Reporter Philip Klein.

“Substantively, I find it ironic that [Wasserman Schultz] claims Republicans are the ones playing political football with Israel, yet in order to make the point, she’s using the Israeli ambassador as a political bludgeon and claiming he said something which he has emphatically denied ever saying,” Klein told the Free Beacon, adding that he was shocked to learn that Wasserman Schultz had charged him with intentionally misquoting her.

“It was a surprise to me because, when confronted, she could have claimed that she was somehow misunderstood, yet she went on to make this maximalist claim accusing me of deliberately misquoting her,” he said. “That it was malicious and that I deliberately changed her words somehow, I find this claim particularly surprising,” given that Wasserman Schultz had made similar statements in past interviews.

Wasserman Schultz should have assumed that Klein brought an audio recorder for accuracy.

“It’s surprising someone in the media spotlight would respond in that way without accounting for the fact that I might have audio of it,” Klein said. “I don’t go to anything without recording it … just in case something like this happens.

Klein further noted that DNC officials failed to respond to his requests for comment about Wasserman Schultz’s remarks after Oren issued his denial.

The DNC did not respond to a request for comment from the Free Beacon.

Wasserman Schultz should be confronted with this every time she goes to speak somewhere. It should not be forgotten.
