Has there ever been as hamhanded a Democratic National Chairman as Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Her latest stunt is to demand that Marco Rubio cancel a fundraiser at the home of Harlan Crow because the host’s collection of historic artifacts includes Nazi art objects.

I know Harlan Crow, who is on the board of trustees of the American Enterprise Institute where I am a resident fellow, and I have been in his house. He is well known for his collection of historic artifacts. In his garden he has placed statues of totalitarian leaders which he has purchased after the fall of totalitarian regimes. That doesn’t mean, Madame Chairman, that he endorses those regimes; it means he celebrates their downfall. To suggest that he is a Nazi sympathizer is a vile smear.
