Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, former chair of the Democratic National Committee, accused the chief of the government’s legal immigration agency Wednesday of pursuing a “white supremacist ideology,” sparking a brief row in a congressional committee.

The Florida Democrat also complained about a “specious” distinction between legal and illegal immigration, and accused acting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli of “intimidation tactics” to try to keep “brown” people out.

“You want to block all immigration and make life harder for immigrants and you have demonstrated you will pursue this heinous, white supremacist ideology at all costs,” she told him during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee.

Mr. Cuccinelli fervently denied the accusation — “I am not a white supremacist, as you alluded,” he said — but Ms. Wasserman Schultz retorted that he had “white supremacist followers.”

Then, using her privilege as the questioner, she shut down his attempts to respond.

“The time is not yours,” she said. “Thank you, I yield back the time, and the witness does not have the floor.”

What seemed to irk Ms. Wasserman Schultz were Mr. Cuccinelli’s issuance of a new policy earlier this year potentially denying the chance at a path to citizenship for migrants who have made widespread use of some welfare programs.

A USCIS official later told The Washington Times that if Ms. Wasserman Schultz and other members of Congress don’t like the laws USCIS is carrying out, they can write new ones.

“When some in Congress refuse to debate policy on the merits, they instead resort to baseless, slanderous attacks,” the official said.

... we expected something else??

She assumes to have that luxury..

Is that old gas bag still relevant? Old skank.
Bafungu.

Dang, is she still alive?

She calls anything and anyone opposed to her wants some form of racist.

It's her all-purpose substitute for actual thought.

I heard the full audio while driving in my car (we are very fortunate to have a conservative media outlet that also happens to be quite popular in this area). Not that it needed pointing out, but the point of airing this "exchange" between Was-a-man Shnitz and Cuccinelli (who was recently Virginia's Attorney General) was a demonstration of how this Congress operates: Don't let witnesses answer, but use the opportunity for congressionals to grandstand and spew their venom. It was patently obvious, even on radio, that the woman (can I call her that?) who did her best to destroy the Bernie Sanders campaign, and drove the Democrat Party into the ground, was reading from a prepared script.

This reminds me of the old Firesign Theatre skit that had this exchange:

"If you don't answer the question, we're going to gag you."
"What question?"
"Gag him!"

Dankiieeee!

Every time they shut a witness down like that, it's not only obvious but painfully awkward. You'd think they'd eventually figure out that if congressweasels don't want an answer, all they have to do is keep talking until the chairweasel calls time on them.

I hate this response. I wish Cuccinelli had instead responded with something akin to..."I'm not even going to respond to your last moronic comment. If you'd like to behave like an adult rather than a spoiled five year old slinging insults I'm here. Short of that, I'm outta here given I have better things to do with my time." Stop playing nice with this filth. Whack them right in the teeth when they act like assholes (which is most of the time).

Exactly. It's like the "when was the last time you beat your wife" question. It's designed to coax the response, "I never beat my wife." The proper response should be "Go eff yourself."

Did she get even dumber over the past year? I never would’ve believed it possible.

The lying fake news will back the harpy as being righteous, just like when Cortez staged her outrage at the CBP facility. Mass media is the lefts lapdog.

I agree. I was livid when I saw this video. He was way to polite to her.

I have so often wondered the same thing. I simply do not believe I could sit there and have my character and integrity assassinated by such pieces of shit. I would demand the time to respond to every accusation and if not provided, simply walk out and let them know I would be happy to return when they wanted answers and not simply sound bites for their moronic constituents.

I can't believe she has any grounds to stand on,let alone the high opinion she still has of herself.

She’s projecting.

she's still a twunt

That was my first thought. Golly!

He should have just asked her if she’s stopped beating her wife!

May she step on many rakes.
