Wasserman Schultz: ‘We’re Right’ on Women’s Issues; GOP Is ‘Wrong’

JANSING: “I want to get your take on a Politico report this morning that the GOP is teaching its male candidates messaging against female opponents, not to use phrases like Todd Aiken did, legitimate rape. There are at least ten races in 2014 where Republican men, incumbents, will face Democratic women, but as Politico points out, these women will have a lack of a name recognition, difficulty with media coverage, and as always against an incumbent, a fundraising gap. So will you give them props, and was that a smart move by the Republicans?”
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: “This is just so funny. Really, the Republicans still think that it's about their words when it comes to whether or not women voters are going to support their candidates. It’s about their policies. I would think that they were making a smarter move if they actually decided to have some sessions with their Republican candidates for Congress on the issues that were important to women ... I mean, the Republicans have not been able to get the overwhelming support of women and Democrats have because we're right on the issues that matter to women and they are wrong. That’s the kind of education that they need to give to their candidates, and until they do, they're not going to get much support from women voters in this country.”
