DNC Chair: ‘We Need to Elect Majorities’ of Dems to Congress to Stop ‘Obscene’ Influence of Money

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
PARKER: "That’s not really my question. I’m laying out as preparatory note. Is there any serious consideration given to the possibility of just limiting campaigns as other countries do to two months, say, and make them completely publicly funded. Is that anything that ever gets serious consideration and only possible?"
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "Only by Democrats. Certainly Democrats have supported public financing of campaigns. I know I do. And many of my colleagues do. And we do need to have, you know, an effort that both sides come together and try to make that reform. But Republicans have no interest in changing the campaign finance system. They support hundreds of millions of dollars outside undue influence swooping in and weighing heavily on the outcome of any election contest. It’s obscene. And we need to elect majorities in Congress so Democrats can make a difference and change it."
