Debbie Wasserman-Schultz let the cat out of the bag when she boasted about how she worked to make Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee when chair of the DNC.
The ‘secret’ was long revealed by e-mail leak in July, but Wasserman-Schultz denied it.
In a debate on Facing South Florida with Jim DeFede on Sunday she dropped the ball however.

Wasserman Schultz said she was “very proud of her tenure” at the DNC and that when she was a key part in getting Obama reelected in 2012.
“The work we did to prepare for Hillary Clinton, to be our nominee and then make sure that we could get her elected president, is absolutely critical to advancing the issues that are important,” she said.
The former DNC chair was forced to step down from her position the night before the Democratic party convention after leaked emails showed the DNC favored Clinton over Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders during the primaries.
Wasserman-Schultz, who went straight from the DNC chair to a role in Clinton’s campaign, was on Facing South Florida on Sunday to debate Tim Cavona who is challenging her South Florida House seat.
DeFede’s first question to the congresswoman was about revelations in the Wikileaks DNC email leaks, including ones relating to Sanders’ Jewish religion. Wasserman Schultz said she “absolutely condemned the exchange,” to which DeFede asked whether the emails were part of a culture that she had created there.
