Wasserman Schultz Slams ‘Ridiculous’ NYT Research Comparing Parties to Animals: ‘I’m Focused on the Humans I Represent’

EXCERPT:

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: “And as someone who knows that when you don‘t have your health, you don‘t have anything, I know how vital that is. So I‘m focused on the humans I represent, not, you know, animal comparisons."

BERMAN: "I will tell you that it was — it was the voters who were making the comparison with animals. And this was a focus group. It wasn‘t The New York Times reporter coming up with these labels. This was a Democratic-led focus group to try to figure out perceptions of the parties."

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: "No, you said they were asked to compare the parties, so they were prompted to compare the parties to animals. That is ridiculous. That‘s — I‘ve watched a lot of focus groups, and I know that the people that I represent want me fighting for the humans, the families that I represent.”
