Wasserman Schultz Mocks ‘Gyrocopter Man’ Who’s Challenging Her at DNC

‘Gyrocopter man is one of the opponents, and he landed a gyrocopter on the White House lawn’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: "And now, locally for you, and we are now being told that you are facing potentially a liberal democratic challenger for the democratic nomination in your district named Doug Kanova who says she takes a lot of corporate money, and votes for corporate interests contrary to the interest of her own constituent, and you are too close to Wall Street, and the criticism of Bernie Sanders of Hillary Clinton, and now you are facing that criticism of somebody from the left who wants to challenge you for the congressional nomination. And what is your response?" 
SCHULTZ: "Well, you have combined the names of my two opponents. Gyrocopter man is one of the opponents, and he landed a gyrocopter on the White House lawn, and another one is that you just read from Doug, and I am very proud to have represented the constituents in Washington for the last 11 years. I am proud of my record. As I said, I co-sponsor and led the effort to pass the Affordable Care Act. And I have fought hard to make sure that we could do everything that we can to have help for people trying to reach the middle-class, and have a voice to get good education, and access to health care, and strong roof off their head, and continue to be able to have an affordable education, and strong are retirement safety net. I look forward to continuing to ask for their support, and both in the Democratic primary and the general election in November."
BLITZER: "You are right, it is Timothy Canova and she is a professor at the college of law at southeastern university. And is that a serious contender, Timothy Canova?"
SCHULTZ: "And let me tell you any candidate who does not take anybody serious who has a name on the ballot, it is a mistake. I have had a race every election for the 23 years that I have represented my constituents in Tallahassee and Washington and I look forward to walking door to door and running the grass roots campaigns they have always won, and run and won, and look forward to continuing to do more. If there is somebody on the ballot, I take them seriously, and I take my constituents very seriously."
