Does Debbie Wasserman-Schultz resent Bernie & Jane Sanders because of their interfaith marriage? [View all]

[Cheese Sandwich]

We know she sees this kind of intermarriage as a "problem" because she said so in early 2015.

Could this explain if she had some bias against Bernie Sanders?

Although she does not actively "oppose" it, she identified "assimilation" and intermarriage as problems.

"We have the problem of assimilation. We have the problem of intermarriage. We have the problem that too many generations of Jews don't realize the importance of our institutions strengthening our community..."

Comments and a subsequent clarification from U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston have attracted new attention to long-running concerns over the implications of interfaith marriage in the Jewish community.

Wasserman Schultz recently told a Jewish group that interfaith marriage is a "problem." On Tuesday, in a statement issued by the Democratic National Committee, she said she does "not oppose" it.
