The chair of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, claims that all of the Republican presidential candidates are so anti-woman that they want to kick women out of the country.<\/p>\n

There are many jokes to be made here.\u00a0 Go ahead and make them if you want.\u00a0 Seriously, though, I realize that political rhetoric today often consists of demonizing your opponents and making them out to be as bad as humanly possible.\u00a0 But don\u2019t we need to recognize some moral limits?\u00a0 Do we just dismiss this remark as mere political exaggeration, or should we think less of those who resort to such ridiculous calumny?<\/p>\n

Quoted in Video DNC Chair GOP Saying Let\u2019s Kick Women Out Of Country | The Daily Caller<\/a>:<\/p>\n

WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: I believe that any one of our candidates will stand in stark contrast, when it comes to the priorities of the American people and how they\u2019re going to make their decision on who they\u2019re going to vote for for President, to any of the Republican candidates. The Republicans are trying to out-right wing each other. Look, between the fifteen Republican candidates who are left \u2014 all of whom are trying to out-Trump Donald Trump \u2014 by saying, \u201cYeah let\u2019s kick women. Let\u2019s kick them and immigrants out of this country. Let\u2019s take away health care from women.\u201d \u2026 Yes, I think any of the candidates on our side of the aisle \u2026 will be chosen and eventually elected as the 45th president of the United States of America because of that contrast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
