The Latest Democratic Attack Fail

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has spent days pounding Mitt Romney for keeping money in a Swiss bank account. She tweeted attacks on his “secret offshore” accounts, slammed his “secretive investments” on Fox News Sunday and just last night, she joined Rep. Donna Edwards in pushing the failed Democrat hashtag #WheresYourBank.

Where’s your bank, Debbie Wasserman Schultz? - Michelle Malkin ◼ Surprise! Little Debbie Wasserman Schultz had a Swiss bankroll - twitchy.com ◼ Dem. Chair Invested in Swiss Banks, Foreign Drug Companies, and the State Bank of India - Daniel Halper/Weekly Standard Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past. Next you’ll tell us she’s demanding Romney release more tax returns while refusing to release her own!
Oh looky here! While @DWSTweets whines about Mitt's tax returns, it turns out she hasn't released her own! ◼ weeklystandard.com/blogs/dnc-chie… #Mitt2012— Kevin Eder (@keder) July 09, 2012

On the heels of The Weekly Standard’s report yesterday that DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz — a vocal critic of Mitt Romney‘s investing practices, had herself dabbled in the foreign markets — we can add Nancy Pelosi to the list of prominent Democrats to profit from overseas investments. According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.”
