Debbie Wasserman Schultz: “And the gentleman is absolutely right, we are here to say it right out loud. I also voted against the partisan committee…”

“And the gentleman is absolutely right, we are here to say it right out loud. I also voted against the partisan committee that was voted on last week. And something else we should address out loud are the ludicrous comparisons that have been made to other so-called partisan or internal congressional investigations. They are comparing the Katrina committee that was formed in the Congress last week to the Iran-Contra investigation. Well, there is absolutely no comparison. The Iran-Contra investigation was by a Democratic Congress versus a Republican administration, where clearly there would not be the legislative branch and the executive branch walking in lockstep. Clearly there was the accountability there when you have two different party leaderships running those two different branches of government. So that is a ludicrous comparison and makes absolutely no sense to use it, and it is disingenuous to use it.…”
