In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN last night after the GOP primary debate, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) scornfully critiqued the candidates behavior. ‘Anyone watching the debate tonight, Anderson,’ she said ‘watched the Republican candidates, as expected, worship at the altar with the Tea Party.’
The congresswoman continued, criticizing the candidates for their focus on repealing President Obama’s health care reform, pointing out that to do so would ‘cost seniors $3,000 in additional prescription drug costs’ in addition to eliminating free wellness visits and preventative screenings.‘ Wasserman Schultz drove home her point, noting ‘The Republicans demonstrated tonight just how out of touch they are’ by applauding leaving people ‘twisting in the wind’ without health coverage.
