Wasserman Schultz on Boehner: ‘Unbelievable the Chaos’ Going on in GOP

‘I certainly hope that we will avoid a government shutdown over defunding Planned Parenthood’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

DÍAZ-BALART: "You don't think this e-mail controversy, the drip, drip drip that Hillary mentioned will have an effect?"

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "I think issues like finding a job, building the cornerstones of the middle class life, having a roof over your head, a secure retirement. When you contrast that with the Republican craziness, and they're bleeding all over the place. A conservative like John Boehner was right wing enough, even for them, and the audience cheered when it was announced that he resigned. Meanwhile, on our side we're making sure that -- "

DÍAZ-BALART: "Let talk about the pope's visit. What was that like? Do you think it going to have any impact?"

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "One can always hope. One of the first things that happen in the wake of the historic address to the joint session is that a speaker, as I said, who already could have been characterized as very conservative is toppled and feels like he can't remain because he's not conservative or right wing or extreme enough for his conference, it doesn't really bode well. I certainly hope that we will avoid a government shutdown over defunding Planned Parenthood, that we'll be able to reautoize the export/import bank, which international and national businesses have clearly said repeatedly how important that is for our economy yet the Republicans continue to focus on defunding Planned Parenthood, taking health care away from all. What is important is how I am going to have a roof over my head and get a job."
