Clip Shows Wasserman Schultz Staffer Shoving Camera Away From Canova Campaign

After raising a flabbergasting amount of money — more than half a million dollars — in his first three months of campaigning, Tim Canova can now call himself the first bona fide primary challenger in Debbie Wasserman Schultz's career. To prove that point, Canova, who is challenging the Democrat for her seat in the House of Representatives, is now proposing that he and the congresswoman debate each other, an idea Canova says Wasserman Schultz is less-than-enthused about. He says he's sent at least three letters to Wasserman Schultz's campaign about the idea and gotten no response.

If it weren't obvious that Wasserman Schultz views Canova as some sort of horsefly she ought to swat, Canova tweeted a clip today that claims to show Jodi Bock Davidson, a Wasserman Schultz district director, ripping a cell phone out of a Canova campaign staffer's hand.

In an interview with New Times, Canova said the incident occurred at the "grand opening" for the Broward Democratic Party's new offices in Plantation yesterday.

"One of my campaign staffers was filming, and Debbie's staffer grabbed the phone out of his hand," Canova said. "It happened two times. One time, she actually stuffed the phone down his pants."

In fact if he had a fundraiser for the billboards, I'd bet he'd get flooded with funds.

prey on people. The footage of the single mom who borrowed 600 and paid 1,800 without reducing a dollar of principal would show just how much Debbie cares about women and children.

In 2008, when DWS has the Chair of the "Red to Blue" Program, she refused to endorse Democrats running for vulnerable Republican seats in her own state.
From there, she "Failed Upwards" to chair the DNC.

The ONLY reason DWS gets away with Party Treason like this is that those in power WANT her in those positions, and approve of the way she sabotages the Democratic Party.

I could have sworn years ago that more people were aware.

Now it's like some kind of collective amnesia has set in.

Her congressional district is heavily blue and wealthy. Fairly large Jewish population. She more or less 'inherited' the seat when previous Rep decided not to run. She's never before had a primary challenger, I don't think she even gets a Republican challenger. She's a prolific fundraiser, and with no challenge to her seat gives to other Democrats in exchange for political backing in the Party hierarchy. Rumor mill has it she's coveting the UN Ambassador job in a Clinton Administration. I assume she's only running for reelection to make sure a Progressive doesn't win it.
