Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Beautiful Words on Being a Jew and Being a Mom

Wasserman Schultz Pushes For Attack On Syria: "As A Jew...The Concept Of Never Again Has To Mean Something"



here is a link to the page to see Debbie talking to Wolf:



WOLF BLITZER: What happens if the president doesn't get a positive vote in the House of Representatives? What if he gets rejected there, as David Cameron did in Britain?

REP. DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D-FL): Well, I feel confident that our colleagues, my colleagues both on the Republican side of the aisle as well as the Democratic side of the aisle are not going to jeopardize the credibility of the United States. I feel confident that we will have a majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate who will understand and authorize the president to engage in a limited targeted strike that ensures that our national security interests are protected, but also that he respond to atrocities, and exercise the moral leadership that the United States has always led with.

For me as a mother, to see that searing image of babies lined up, murdered by their own government, innocent children. I mean, as a Jew, Wolf, I have to tell you, as a member of Congress who represents one of the largest Holocaust survivor populations in the country, to me, the concept of never again, has to mean something. And the United States, morally, cannot turn the other cheek. Too many leaders of ours have regretted that decision.

The Beautiful Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke to CNN's Wolf Blitzer last evening with eloquent words about being a Jew and being a mom.  One has to listen when she starts talking about representing a large community of Halocaust Survivors--Syria is a very difficult situation and her words gave a very special meaning to the problem.

Good job, Debbie--thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and tell us about your community.
