Woops: Wasserman Schultz caught in a deception with reporters
In a conference call Monday, Wasserman Schultz enlisted the help of Annette Capella, described by party officials as a “Medicare recipient from Florida,” to warn of the “extreme budget priorities,” they believe Rubio is likely to outline in his televised response to President Obama’s address. …
The truth was uncovered when the call was opened up to questions. The first query came from a Palm Beach Post reporter, who asked Wasserman Schultz if Capella was the same person listed as the head of the St. Johns Democratic Party.
Wasserman Schultz paused for a moment but then said she would let Capella answer the question. Capella corrected the reporter, saying she’d stepped down from that role and is now represents the county as the party’s state committeewoman for St. Johns, located in northeastern Florida.

This crap has been happening as long as politics has existed. Finally one reporter has Google open.

What—claimed she was a woman or that her pop was Secretariat?

A random act of journalism!

Headline’s wrong, should read: Whoops: Reporter accidentally exposes Wasserman-Schultz’s typical deception.

DWS is just too annoying not to make all but the most hackiest of liberal reporters want to commit journalism when they have the chance.

I thought it was spelled “Whoops”.

Business as usual between one of the The Party’s operatives, Comrade Wasserman Schultz, and its propaganda organization, disguised as “legitimate media”, AKA the MSM, AKA the Mainstream Propaganda Machine.
How did someone manage to report this? In Chicago these things rarely ever see the light of day.

Pathological liars. Goes double for the unrepentant Stephanie Cutter, Lie-Uh-Watha, Jean Kerrie the Boat Hider, Joseph Biden the Ape-Faced Debater and countless other lying liberals and Democrats who promise everything but deliver nothing yet receive unlimited electoral support from low-information freebie-seeking voters.
.
Why these crass and venal animals expect to sail through life without paying a price for their lack of ethics and morality is totally unrealistic. May the awakening come soon, very soon!

At this point what difference does it make?

You know you’re a particularly disliked Democrat when even reporters are calling you out.

So… what’s newsworthy about this story. Nothing new here.

It’s from a conservative outlet so it can be ignored by the State Run Journalists and other Party Members.

It’s from a “right wing” outlet. It can be ignored by the SRM just like Senator Menendez’s underage prostitutes.

Miss Piggy denied.

What difference does it make, at this point, whether the woman was a political operative or some random woman out for a walk who decided to attend a press conference with Debbie Downer?
