DNC Chair, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz  (D-FL) decided to chastise Congressman Allen West (R-FL) AFTER he spoke from the House floor and departed the Chamber. Wasserman-Schultz didn’t like West’s support of Cut, Cap Balance, which incidentally passed the House this evening. Unbelievably, Wasserman Schultz’ spokesman said West was not upset with Wasserman Schultz, but with the fact that “the truth hurts.” Hmmmm. You are “the most vile, unprofessional, despicable member of the House,” and a coward to boot. I’d say he was talking to, and of, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and her character (including the lack of it).
Allen West
“Incredulously, the gentleman from Florida. who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries,” she said, calling West’s approval of the plan “unbelievable from a member from South Florida.”
Debbie Wasserman Schultz
“Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional, and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.
“If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up. Focus on your own congressional district!”
“From this time forward, understand that I shall defend myself forthright against your heinous characterless behavior…You have proven repeatedly that you are not a Lady, therefore, shall not be afforded due respect from me!” Signed: Steadfast and Loyal
West also said he would bring her “actions today to our majority leader and majority whip.” I’d like to hear why DWS does not support a balanced budget amendment. There is no excuse for that – no defending it. She also knows that no one on Medicare currently will be affected by the Entitlement changes, and she knows well that Obama’s health care bill has already cut $500 BILLION from Medicare. I’m betting there is more to this story.
Good on Congressman West. This is the kind of principled representative our nation needs right now. I wish we had about 100 more of the same.

John, the man is a hero in so many ways. The press will excoriate him over this, and I am wondering just what going to Boehner and Cantor will do. Maybe there is some House rule.

You can add “keen judge of character” to West’s long list of leadership qualities
And Wasserman-Schultz really does come across as a loon- her behavior on the House floor is boorish at best

RR, agreed. She is known for her nasty disposition, and as I said, I bet there is more to this story. Both are from Florida so she has probably bopped him in an unprofessional manner more than once. I’d like to know the House Rules. Since he said he was going to Boehner and Cantor, I have to think there is something that frowns on her actions.

Most Excellent Maggie; You have captured exactly the difference between TEA Party Conservatives and the very despicable DWS and her cohorts. She is a true demagogue using scare tactics, he is a stalwart defender of the realm. Excellent post M’Lady. Just Excellent!!!

GM, I was shocked to see conservatives jump all over West for this. I would like to see every conservative in the House and Senate get on their websites and on television is they can and ask: Why are you not supporting a Balanced Budget Amendment and how do you explain that we don’t need.
We need that to ring around the country: Why? Why? Thanks for the nice comment GM>

I’ve loved him and I love him even more after this. He is absolutely correct about Wasserman

Alan West is truly a great American.
She evidently has played dirty tricks on him before, during the election in Florida and afterwards.
She is a Democrat Party hack and unprincipled liar. No wonder she was picked as the DNC Chair.
