The Politico reports on a dustup on the House floor between Representatives Heath Shuler (D-NC) and Debbie Wasserman-Schulz (D-FL):
As told to us, Wasserman Schultz asked Shuler if he’d sign the [GOP dischage] petition. Shuler said, “You’re damn right I would sign it, it’s about time we did something on immigration,” adding that “we need to get our heads out of the sand.” The diminutive Wasserman Schultz yelled that Shuler he was doing this for “political cover.” And Shuler said, “I wouldn’t have worked on this for damn near a year for political cover.”
