Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was mocking her Republican counterpart’s handling of the Republican National Convention just seven days ago, before she was kicked out of her own convention by her party’s leaders.
“Hey @Reince — I’m in Cleveland if you need another chair to help keep your convention in order,” she tweeted last Monday. That was meant as a way to tweak Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus over what many saw was a raucous convention.

A day later, she was still taunting Priebus.

But after Priebus survived his convention intact, Wasserman Schultz was already in the process of being kicked out of the Democratic convention. Democrats forced her resignation on Sunday in a bid to ensure support from Bernie Sanders supporters.
That move was made after the leak of emails that showed the DNC was in fact pushing for Hillary Clinton’s nomination, and that the DNC was less neutral than it boasted in the race between Clinton and Sanders.
And on Monday, after Sanders supporters booed Wasserman Schultz and booed requests from Sanders to vote for Clinton, Democrats decided she wouldn’t even have a minor role at the convention.
Wasserman Schultz admitted herself that she wouldn’t gavel in or gavel out the convention, just seven days after she made fun of Priebus on Twitter over the state of the GOP convention.
