NRCC Pounces on Alex Sink After Wasserman Schultz Insists All Democrats Will Run on Obamacare
Republicans are looking to make political hay out of the comment on Tuesday night by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), that Democratic candidates will be defending President Barack Obamas federal health-care law in 2014. On Wednesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) hit former state CFO Alex Sink, who is the Democratic candidate in a special election for the congressional seat left open by the death of U.S. Rep. Bill Young, R-Fla.
Debating Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus on CNNs Crossfire on Tuesday, Wasserman Schultz doubled down on her support of the law.
Pressed by Priebus on which Democratic U.S. senator in a close race in 2014 will campaign on the law, Wasserman Schultz said all her partys candidates would back it.
The question thats on the table right now is, which person thats running as a Democrat in these targeted states -- who? Priebus asked.
All of our candidates, Wasserman Schultz insisted. All of our candidates are able to run on the provisions of Obamacare.
The NRCC pounced on Sink, looking to tie her to the law.
Thanks to her liberal friends in Washington, Alex Sink is now forced to run on her support of Obamacare which has already caused 300,000 Floridians to be kicked off their health care plans, Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the NRCC, said on Wednesday. While Sink is in Washington, D.C., today collecting campaign cash from the liberal creators of Obamacare, maybe she can get some of the DNC chairwomans magical talking points which will help her explain her support of this dysfunctional law.
