Shameless: Wasserman Schultz Poaches 'Black District' For Political Survival
Wasserman Schultz doesn't like competition, apparently. Instead, she has chosen to poach FL-20 in her bid to keep her position in Congress:So when Debbie Wasserman Schultz – a former DNC chair and head of the House Dems' steering committee – suggested last week that she might run in Florida's new 20th district, it raised eyebrows even with Politico. The new FL-20 consists mainly of the majority-minority district last represented by Sheila Cherfilu-McCormick, who resigned ahead of an expulsion vote while awaiting prosecution for embezzling $5 million in COVID relief funds. It's one of the few safe Democrat districts in Florida's new map, and it is still primarily a non-white district. Wasserman Schultz had other options to choose for her political survival, including the new FL-22, but that will be much more competitive.
So ... the white candidate wants to dilute the black vote in order to maintain a grip on power? Holy cow, this really is Jim Crow all over again!
