Florida Congresswoman and chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz expressed her support of President Obama’s appeal to Congress to hold off on seeking additional sanctions while negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program are under way.
In a brief interview with YWN at an annual Chanukah party she hosted in Washington DC, Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz said diplomacy should be given a chance. “We are working diplomatically to try and make sure we can prevent Iran from achieving a nuclear weapon. That’s their goal,” Ms. Wasserman-Schultz told YWN. “And we, the United States, will never let it happen. If over the next six months we are not able to assure that they are, absolutely, not able to achieve that goal, then we will reapply the sanctions and apply even tighter sanctions.”
Ezra Friedlander, CEO of the Friedlander group, who was present at the reception, extended his invitation for the congresswoman to spend a Shabbos in Borough Park, to which Ms. Wasserman-Schultz responded, “make it happen.”

Very troubling picture. Just because its the WH, this picture is beseder? I thought people from that sect (pictured above) (wearing that holy garb) were more makpid when it comes to “nashim”? Its us “Litvisha” who live in Flatbush who were the “modern” “bums”? What phonies! Those Michanfim should be ashamed of themselves!
How can you post this liar here. She is a crazy obumma follower and will lie to keep obumma in the fore front. She is one not to be trusted
It looks to me like this photo was photoshopped. Otherwise, why is the chossid on the right standing so close to the Congressperson and why is she between two men, chasidim no less?
