Democratic National Committee chair [crscore]Debbie Wasserman Schultz[/crscore] said “damn” in front of the Supreme Court building while the Little Sisters of the Poor were there demonstrating.
Wasserman Schultz was speaking to a group of Planned Parenthood supporters who were there while the court was hearing oral arguments in the case of Zubik v. Burwell. The Little Sisters of the Poor are one of many plaintiffs who are asking to be exempting from the federal government requirement to cover contraceptives in their health-care plans.
“Those rights that we secured must remain in place and while we’re at it this Senate needs to do their damn job!” yelled Wasserman Schultz to cheers.
