Clip Shows Wasserman Schultz Staffer Shoving Camera Away From Canova Campaign [View all]

http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/clip-shows-wasserman-schultz-staffer-shoving-camera-away-from-canova-campaign-7710483

In an interview with New Times, Canova said the incident occurred at the "grand opening" for the Broward Democratic Party's new offices in Plantation yesterday.

"One of my campaign staffers was filming, and Debbie's staffer grabbed the phone out of his hand," Canova said. "It happened two times. One time, she actually stuffed the phone down his pants."

He said the staffer, campaign organizer Pablo Menvielle, was wearing a "Canova for Congress" T-shirt and wasn't saying anything at the time.

"I guess Pablo was not on the list of people allowed to film her," Canova said.

Canova added that he also approached Wasserman Schultz with a print copy of the letter he'd sent her, asking for a debate.
