Wasserman Schultz: Rubio a 'Chicken' and Jeb Following Trump

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, came out swinging against several of the Republican candidates for president in a Thursday breakfast with reporters. The Florida congresswoman reserved most of her fire for her fellow Sunshine Staters, calling Marco Rubio a “chicken” and criticizing Jeb Bush for following the lead of Donald Trump. Wasserman Schultz also said Trump’s “extremism” is “holding a mirror up to the Republican party of today.”

Speaking at the event sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Wasserman Schultz claimed that none of the 17 GOP candidates for president would be worse or better to face off against in the general election because “they’re all the same.”
