Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: Wall Street and Big Oil donors can still be ‘big tent’ Democrats

Source: Raw Story

Democratic National Committee chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) refused to disavow corporate campaign donors during a brief interview posted by The Young Turks on Friday.

The footage shows correspondent Jordan Charlton approaching Wasserman-Schultz on Thursday night and relaying to her concerns from young supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) campaign, saying that they “feel like a lot of the establishment Democrats are taking money from the same people that they say they’re going after: Wall Street, Big Oil.”

“Both political parties through time immemorial have had a range of views across a spectrum, but we’re a big tent party,” she responded. “We have the ability to absorb and be unified with people on the far left and center right and still have the same people calling themselves Democrats.”

She also rebuffed the idea that Democrats are in danger of falling prey to corporate influence, saying that there’s more cause for concern that it may be happening to Republicans.

21. No, DWS, if you are a center right

person, you are not a leftist. Therefore in this two party system, you are not a Democrat. What a dumbass this woman is?!

There is more concern for it happening to the GOP? DWS, that ship done sailed. Maybe you have heard of the Powell memo and the Reagan revolution. You might also have heard of the DLC and the New Dems who are center right conservatives who are under the willing influence of corporatism.

This is truly a battle for the left in this country. Clinton and DWS must be put out to pasture.

Anyone right of them are considered far right to them.

DWS knows where the butter for the Ds' bread comes from.

It's salutary for the business community to see/hear the condemnations of The Bern. They've invested hundreds of millions of $$ into buying peace from the Ds, and now one of the Ds' major Presidential candidates is all but calling the their heads on a stake.

Democrats take big oil money too ?
No way.
