Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus had harsh words for Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday.  Priebus accused the Florida Representative of blaming the Tea Party for the January 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).

Wasserman Schultz “should apologize immediately,” Priebus tweeted Wednesday afternoon.  He later appeared on CNN, accusing the Chairwoman of using the tragedy to try to “score political points.”
