CNN’s Don Lemon Challenges Wasserman Schultz on DNC’s God, Israel Platform Changes

CNNs Don Lemon Debates Debbie Wasserman Schultz Over God, Jerusalem, Israel Changes

(Photo: CNN)

CNN’s Don Lemon interviewed DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fl.) Saturday night, promising a no-nonsense discussion free of talking points.

The interview began with a debate over whether Schultz was lying or, as she claims, misquoted in her assertion that Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren said Republican policies harm Israel. Though Lemon seemingly did his best to note that it is hard to claim you are misquoted when you are on tape, Schultz largely talks over Lemon for several minutes.

However, the interview becomes more interesting about five minutes in, as Lemon challenges the notion that all references to God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel were left out of the 2012 Democratic platform on accident.

“No one looks at that and goes, ‘Oh, wait a minute…’? Come on, Congresswoman,” Lemon asserted, adding: “Don’t you think people appreciate candor more than anything?”

Schultz replied with an admonishing tone:

“Yes, and I don’t appreciate you suggesting that I’m being anything less than candid. I am a proud pro-Israel, Jewish woman– the first Jewish woman to represent my state in Congress. I have a strong pro-Israel record, and the President of the United States Barack Obama is someone that I proudly support because he has a stellar record on Israel. He has consistently stood by Israel, and our platform reflects his personal view on Jerusalem, and there is nothing less than candor [that I am] conveying to you tonight.”

Watch more of the interview, via Mediaite, below:

Lemon briefly lost his bravado after Schultz’s long-winded retort, and actually asked the woman to forgive him.

He said: “I apologize, and I didn’t not mean that as a personal attack, and you’re right on to come back at me and say that, so thank you…”

When Schultz responded with a joke, saying that “directness” is not her “problem,” and that she has “never been accused of being anything less than candid,” Lemon noted that many on the right claim Schultz will say anything, regardless of whether it is based in reality.

She responded: “You’re right. There are right-wing Republicans that spend a lot of time trying to suggest that.”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper said Schultz was living in an “alternate universe” last week.

  This woman has no moral compass!
  
  Just as a thought, how would Jerusalem be the Capital of Israel if they were to return to the 1967 lines? Would that not cut Jerusalem in half?
  
  Not to mention the contiguous Palestinian State, which would mean cutting Israel in two.
  
  But I’m sure the Israelis would be happy to have two more new fronts to watch rockets rain in on them from.
  
  This woman is insane as a starting point…

  A good point and well stated; I hadn’t caught that, although I DID think it odd that the woman had no response other than shaking her head, while the man (assuming her husband) was so animated. Usually liberal women seem to be obnoxiously outspoken so it WAS odd that she just sat there with that sign in her lap, shaking her head.
  But the Republicans hate and want to subjugate women. What a farce.

  As a Floridian, I have to apologize the the rest of the Floridians and the country, for DWS. You see DWS (can’t bring myself to type her name) is elected from a district in the Greater Ft. Lauderdale area. Sadly the entire country must suffer due to this small but influential district (my hometown). Up until she was chosen head of the DNC, I dont think most understood what a colossal nightmare she was. She has staunch support and loads of cash in this predominantly “blue” district. That said, there are scores of us doing everything possible to relieve her (and by default, the rest of us) of her title as congresswoman. Pray for us!!!

  @Frafam, I too live in DWS’ district. We had a real opportunity to be rid of her this year with Jewish Republican, Joe Kaufmann in the primary. Sadly, voters chose Karen Harrington who doesn’t have a chance in a district with a very large Jewish community. Kaufmann may not have been the best candidate but he was the most electible.

  I have a question for the Jewish folks who have responded as well as any who haven’t and it’s a question that the few Jewish friends I have, have been unable to answer, as they, like me, are conservative in their political views. Given this president’s OBVIOUS disdain for Bebe Netanyahu and his policies, as well as the Democrat Party’s overwhelming support for “the Right of Return” of the Palestinian’s to Israeli land and the apparent blindness to the slaughter of innocent Jewish civilians over the last, oh, THIRTY YEARS and every chance they get, why do so many Jews support that Party? Why are so many Jewish people liberals? I honestly don’t understand. It was refreshing to see the reaction to the removal of Jerusalem being the capital of Israel from the Democrat Platform, but the next day, Obama’s State Department refused to confirm it. Why isn’t the Jewish community demanding that Obama (or Hillary Clinton) ORDER the State Department to support the President’s supposed belief? Is there a large segment of Jews that support Palestinians right to exist as a country while denying the same for Israel? I honestly am a confused Catholic and would appreciate a response to something that I haven’t understood for around thirty years. It just defies logic, in my opinion. Thank you for any responses.

  You SHOULD HAVE SAID: “Stellar?! Really? So snubbing Netanyahu at the White House, telling Israel to give up land and return to 1967 borders, and having your DNC platform remove Jerusalem as capitol of Israel amounts to “stellar” in your estimation?”

  MADASHEII, Right now my thought process is to get the current occupant out of the White House. The Dem-wits will never gain my attention for a vote. And, I my first presidential vote was for Nixon. Yeah, I know, I’ve held my nose too many times and pulled the lever for what is my idea of the lesser evil. Yep, the Republican party is too full of RINOs and needs to be yanked back into reality, and in my opinion the Tea Party has made a good start. But, it will take a long while to clear up any of this mess they have all created. Sorry, but the Libertarian Party has a long way to go to get me to take a serious look. You guys have a long way to go, and a lot of problems in my opinion too. And, at this time you haven’t the serious weight to accomplish anything yet. All I hear are complaints of not being treated fairly in the primaries. Sorry, gain some real stones and get something done on your own, and then I will take a stronger look. Other wise, I’ll go with the Republicans for the moment. If you don’t like that, then take a hike and get off my back. Been around too long to take BS from a new comer.

Unfortunately, these folks will do their best to promote political and social causes which are absolutely the antithesis of the Judeo-Christian way of life in the USA. Look at the Jews who were in bed (many, laterially) with Communism, Socialism, the Trotskite factions, their first allegiance was to political power. Not many of us are like this woman, but they get all the sound bites. Sort of like the Christians on the Right who pray for their vicious opponents rahter than attack them. Yes, I know that Yesu’ah ben David preached “Turn the other cheek” (דרייַ דיין אנדערע באַק) (lit: turn your other face to him who strikes you) Well, this Jew will turn my other cheek: My Tukas!

Not much but still Mitt’s wasn’t much compared to his total worth. She is a congress woman and he is a business man, How many members of congress have money in offshore accounts? And wonder about stocks in food corporations, medical stocks, and other global entities. Hankie Pankie? It smells fishy. Why wouldn’t the Democrats push Obamacare down our throats or tell us food stamps are the biggest bang for your buck? Money to be made umm umm umm? 401Ks?

All we need to do to win is this…
A one minute campaign commercial that starts off showing Obama teamed up with ACORN back in the 90s charging banks with racism and threatening to boycott unless they reduce their lending standards and begin lending to lower income and minorities who would otherwise not qualify for a mortgage under the 20 percent down and good credit requirement. Then show their hero Bill Clinton amending the Community Reinvestment Act in 99 forcing banks to lend to this group. The next scene will be of the republicans warning fat face Barney Frank, Frank Reins, that raciest Waters, and the other dummy democrats that this will be big trouble and could lead to a financial crisis. Then show modern day Obama as president blaming Bush and deregulation as the cause of the current state of the economy. Obama is so tied into the mortgage meltdown, the people need to know this.

  Whole heartedly agree with you. That Housing time bomb, set off in the Clinton Administration and then set on fire by ACORN with Obama help. Pressure the banks. Fannie/ Freddie. Franklin Raines. Barney Frank. Chris Dowd. Discrimination Card ( the perfect cover , like the Race Card ) then the “Affordable ( wink, wink ) Housing Act ” Subprime Time Bomb. Economic disaster. Melt down. Blame the Banks. The Democrat Economic Circus . Would love to have been a fly on the wall during their strategy sessions. All planned. Center for AMERICAN PROGRESS ( wink , wink ) Same as this campaign. While their Lefty Lap Dog Media pushes the propaganda. Hides the records. And the gullible public watches American Idol and believes the idiots on MSNBC.

  I tried to tell people before owebama was elected that he was more responsible then Bush for the housing meltdown. I would send people video of Bush asking for more oversight of Fannie/Freddie, and Barney Frank w/ upchuck schumer claiming they were in great shape. Want to put a face to our economic problems, Barney Frank is more to blame than anyone. Owebama is more to blame than Bush. He fought for these toxic mortgages and trained people how to intimidate banks into giving the risky loans.

  BRY: Agree. And think the housing mess was one of the Far Lefties’ plans leading us to where we are today. Sort of an example of ” When America Slept.” No one was watching the fort while we were silent;y ” invaded.” How can the Democrats allow their party to be thus hijacked by the Far Left ? Marxism in America ? Or maybe they just plan to destroy us internally. The angry , anti-American Left.

  Wow. You guys are so wrong about this. The Community Reinvestment Act encouaged only the tiniest percentage of the subprime loans that led to the crisis in ’08. The worst offenders (i.e. Countryside) weren’t touched by it at all. Banks pushed these risky loans because they were making tons of money on them in the short term. Seriously — Google this. Or better yet, read a book — any book — on the subject. I would suggest “The Big Short” by Michael Lewis, but take your pick.

  Sorry Moonbat we have this right…besides not only did Countryside get a pass (Chris Dodd (D) was tied up in a scandal with Countryside) but so did Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both of which were managed primarily by Dem hacks and bagmen and then covered for by the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd….Obama was right in the middle of this during the Clinton years (when he worked for Acorn). The Dems have thier fingerprints all over this meltdown (both in terms of policy) as well as direct payoffs. The Repubs tried at least two different times to curb the abuses but were denied by stiff Democratic opposition each time…The Dems own this collossal failure among many others……

  Hey MOONBAT,
  
  I did read, “Architects Of Ruin” by Peter Schweizer, the first day it came out. I think at the end of the day if an individual is left-leaning, then they will blame the Banks and greedy capitalists, which is true. If an individual is right-leaning, then they will blame the government and liberal intervention in lending standards, affirmative action style quotas, qualifications, etc…, which is also true. And lets not forget the role of the Fed, playing around with interest rates, inflating property values and printing money.
  
  So at the end of the day, both sides are right in my opinion. But here is where I differ. I blame all of them! I blame Wall St., the Fed, the Government/liberals and everything in between! This whole culture of corruption was conjured up ahead of time and the ruling class made out like a bandit! They all new what was going to happen, they just didn’t know when.
  
  This criminal trifecta made a deal long ago. Wall St. had their goons in the treasury so the government would hold up its end of the deal-thus the bailouts! I figure you already know the different roles of all the players, organizations and who they are, so I didn’t bother with all that.
  
  The system is just a tool for the ruling class, both Left and Right. The masses are the suckers in the middle! lol But hey, it don’t take much to make us happy-I dodged the bullet! lol

  Hey, Yakov –
  
  Surprisingly, I pretty much exactly agree with you — government and the financial industry are looking out for each other, and the rest of us are getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop. Maybe Conservatives and Liberals can agree on getting the money out of politics. Anybody want to talk about campaign finance reform?

If it sounds like BS, if it stands up to the BS test……IT IS BS. DWS got caught lying once again and walked away untouched by a so called reporter.

Schultz is a proven liar; why should we expect anything else from her?

  What would be shocking and news would be if Washerwoman Shoes actually told the truth for once. Would actually sit and listen to her the next day when she tries to walk it back!

She’s proven to be a liar; Lemon has proven to be a full-on lib…

I just hope this country has more educated, truth-telling voters this year than in 2008. Anyone who believes any liberal; anymore, has elected to be a true loser.

What scares me is how many voters either can’t or refuse to see right through all of this horse crap.

Lemon got put thru the juicer by his CNN plantation overseers, thru his earpiece. Blabbermouth Schultz hit her emergency buzzer that put that electric shock into his tiny testicles.

He realized he was about to sacrifice his liberal ID card, and secret progressive decoder ring for a minute of candor. Quickly realizing that these are requirements to work a CNN desk, he apologized profusely and kissed her As….er…I mean ring.

Do we really want these morons in charge of our country? Vote for Obama and his shadows will move us forward but I’m pretty sure we won’t like where they may lead us.

  He’s not a metrosexual. He is as danty as his ‘please forgive me’
  
  If he actually listened to her answer he could have tore her apart.
  
  “Actually president obama was the one who said we need to add god and jerusalem” back into the platform when in reality Obama approved the godless platform. I’m sure he would have rather have mentioned the words allah.

Allen West made this lying vampire run for cover. Maybe we should get him to conduct her next interview and see just how mouthy she gets with him. Get some guts and backbone you cowardly reporters!
