Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz attempted on Wednesday to beat back the controversy arising from a late and seemingly divisive change to the party platform.

In an interview with CNN, Wasserman Schultz maintained that the motion to reinsert support for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and a reference to "God" was "absolutely" passed by a "two-thirds" vote. She then went on to characterize it as a technical correction that the language hadn't been added in an earlier draft approved by delegates on Tuesday, and said the apparent discord "was no fight at all."
