Wasserman Schultz: GOP Wants To Kick Women and Immigrants out of the Country
BASH: "Let’s turn to somebody we know is running, Bernie Sanders. He is a self-identified socialist. If he is your party’s nominee would that socialist label hurt the Democratic Party’s chances of winning the White House in 2016?"
SCHULTZ: "Dana, this election is going to be decided on — based on what the voters believe is the best choice in their candidate for president who is going to help make sure that their lives can get better. And any one of our candidates on that stage on Tuesday night, we’re excited and looking forward to CNN putting on the debate with us, any one of those candidates is in dramatic contrast to any of the Republican circus candidates that — circus performers that are on the other side. I mean, they’re talking about equal pay for equal work and making sure that we can create more jobs and making sure that we can create a pathway by — for legal status and citizenship for immigrants in this country. And the Republicans are saying let’s kick more immigrants out of the country, let’s take away health care from women and from all Americans."
BASH: "So, Congresswoman you —"
SCHULTZ: "That’s the way the American people are going to make this choice."
BASH: "Do you believe that Bernie Sanders could beat any Republican?"
SCHULTZ: "I believe that any one of our candidates will stand in stark contrast when it comes to the priorities of the American people and how they’re going to make the decisions on who they vote for for president to any of the Republican candidates.
"The Republicans have been trying to out right wing one another. Look, between the 15 Republican candidates that are left, all of whom are trying to out-Trump Donald Trump by saying, yes, let’s kick women — let’s kick immigrants out of this country. Let’s take away health care from women. You know, let’s increase taxes on the middle class to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Let’s end Medicare as we know it.
"Yes, I think any of the candidates on our side of the aisle who are talking about job creation, making sure we can expand access to health care, build the cornerstones of the middle class by helping people get a good education and having a secure retirement. Any one of our candidates will be chosen and eventually elected as the 45th president of the United States of America because of that contrast.
