Anderson Cooper Tangles With DNC Chair

He accuses Debbie Wasserman Schultz of overt dishonesty

|


Debbie Wasserman Schultz and CNN's Anderson Cooper engaged in a heated exchange Thursday night when Cooper charged that the Florida congresswoman "misquoted" the Los Angeles Times in a letter that the anchor also said misrepresented Mitt Romney's stance on the Republican Party's abortion platform plank.

The segment, which has gone viral in the conservative blogosphere, features Cooper, on his CNN show "Anderson Cooper 360," pointing to a fundraising email Wasserman Schultz signed. He said that a quote she used from the Los Angeles Times in the appeal was taken "completely out of context."
