Anderson Cooper: Wasserman Schultz Living in 'Alternate Universe' Regarding Dem Platform Change

After the ugly scene that played out on the floor of the Democratic National Convention Wednesday, during which the Democratic Party amended their platform to reinstate "God" and mention that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, CNN's Anderson Cooper went to DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her reaction to the entire ordeal. But after she spoke, Cooper determined she was living in an "alternate universe."

CNN's Brianna Keilar asked Wasserman Schultz on the convention floor how she felt as one of "the most prominent Jewish lawmakers" when she learned that any mention of Jerusalem being the capital of Israel was struck from the Democratic platform.

Wasserman Schultz said a "technical oversight" led to the omission, adding that the platform was amended to reflect President Obama's personal views and the views of the Democratic party. Conveniently, the DNC chair said a "technical oversight" also led to all references to"God" being left out of the platform.

"The bottom line is we’ve taken steps, we’ve amended it, President Obama felt it was important to reflect his personal view and it’s done. And we’re moving forward and continuing this convention," she said, adding that she is very proud of the president's record on supporting Israel.

But that wasn't what sent Cooper into a tizzy. Even though video of the platform amendment vote shows a chaotic scene, many people booing and hollering in protest, Wasserman Schultz argued that "there wasn't any discord" during the vote.

After watching the interview from the CNN studio, the always fair Cooper said: "I mean, that's an alternate universe."

Cooper reminded his audience that it was Wasserman Schultz who attacked Mitt Romney's campaign because "it is the candidate who sets the platform, who designs and writes the platform. It wasn’t true when she was saying it two weeks ago — but now isn’t it fair if she claimed that about the Republican platform to claim that about the Democratic platform?"

"From a reality standpoint, you can defend it, as the head of the DNC, but to say flat out there was no discord is just not true," Cooper added.
