“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), who is also the head of the Democratic National Committee, to explain if she really “cockblocked” Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) presidential campaign on Monday night’s episode.
“A lot of people feel that Bernie Sanders has been, and I’m going to paraphrase or really, quote Twitter rather, that Sanders is being cockblocked by the DNC,” Noah said. “Is there any merit to this?
“As powerful as that makes me feel, I’m not doing a very good job of rigging the outcome or blocking… anyone from being able to get their message out,” Wasserman Schultz said. “The reality is I have a job as a national party chair that is one that requires a thick skin. It requires me to absorb the body blows so our candidates can stay above the fray.”
