Hillary Campaigns for ‘My Friend Debbie’ Wasserman Schultz
Hillary Clinton campaigned Tuesday in Florida for her surrogate Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is facing a determined primary challenge from a Bernie Sanders-supporting trade law professor named Tim Canova. Breitbart News extensively reported on the email leaks that led to Wasserman Schultz’s ouster as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman. The DNC actively colluded against Bernie Sanders to deny him a fair shot in the primaries and also called its Hispanic mobilization efforts their “Taco Bowl Outreach.” Booed off the stage at a presser the first day of the convention in Philly, Wasserman Schultz went down and she went down hard. But Clinton campaigned for the disgraced former DNC chief Tuesday in Florida at her district campaign office. “I can’t think of anyone who deserves your support for re-election … [more] than my friend Debbie,” Clinton told supporters at the office. “I am committed to doing whatever I can to support her as she returns to the Congress with your support by her side because we have a lot of work to do.” “I have to have her in Congress, by my side, working day after day,” she added.

Adviser to Pro-Hillary Super PAC: Campaign Needs To Disavow Mateen and ‘Fire the Advance Person’
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Political Commentator and Adviser to a pro-Hillary Super PAC Paul Begala stated that the Clinton campaign should disavow the support it received from Seddique Mateen, the father of the perpetrator of the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack, who showed up to a Clinton rally, and “fire the advance person.” Begala said that if he could advise them, he would tell the Clinton campaign to “disavow him. She doesn’t want his support, and her campaign doesn’t want his support. It may take a while to get their act together. Candidate’s here. The vice presidential candidate’s here. The campaign chairman’s here. I’ve run campaigns. At this stage, they’re a very big battleship, but they need to go to battle stations here.
