Top DNC Official Accuses Chair of Lying

R.T. Rybak, the former mayor of Minneapolis and a vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, accused the party’s leader, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), of making “flat-out not true” statements about another top party officer, questioned her political skills and said he had “serious questions” about her suitability for the job, the New York Times reports.

The broadside from Mr. Rybak “followed weeks of internal party dissension over the number and timing of the presidential debates it has scheduled, capped by an acrimonious public dispute” over whether Wasserman Schultz had barred Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) from the first debate this week.
