DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Statement on RNC Chair Reince Priebus Dismissing Republican Att

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement on recent comments by RNC Chair Reince Priebus dismissing Republican attacks on women as “fiction” and as fictional as a “war on caterpillars”:

“While it’s no secret that Republicans on the campaign trail and in Congress have been advocating for and implementing policies that would take women backward, to have the head of the GOP say these attacks on women are as fictional as a ‘war on caterpillars’ is callous and dismissive of what matters to women and completely out of touch.  Chairman Priebus and the Republican Party know they have a serious problem on their hands: Mitt Romney and the Republican Party are seeing a serious deficit among women voters, who are simply fed up with Romney and the other Republican candidates advocating for policies that would hurt women and take us backward instead of focusing on jobs and restoring economic security for the middle class.

“Whether he’s vowing to ‘get rid of’ Planned Parenthood funding, calling Roe v. Wade ‘one of the darkest moments in Supreme Court history’ or declaring his support for the Blunt-Rubio Amendment, which would take women’s health decisions out of their hands and give it to their bosses, there is nothing fictitious about Mitt Romney’s anti-women agenda.  Chairman Priebus should know better and no amount of dismissive statements can change the facts: Mitt Romney and the Republican Party aren’t standing up for the issues important to women and their families, and women know it.”
