Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is being accused of assaulting a minor during an altercation about her record on the environment.
The former Democratic National Committee chairwoman is facing challenger Jen Perelman on Tuesday in the Democratic primary for Florida’s 23rd Congressional District seat.
The Floridian reported Perelman accused Wasserman Schultz of putting her hands on a 16-year-old Perelman volunteer during a campaign event over the weekend.
The outlet reported the volunteer is Martina Velasquez.
Per the allegation, Velasquez confronted Wasserman Schultz regarding her record on environmental issues when the congresswoman “physically shoved” and “verbally accosted” the teen.
The alleged assault occurred as Velasquez was “passing out campaign literature.”
In response to a now-deleted Twitter post by a person who was defending Wasserman Schultz regarding the reported incident, Perelman attacked the former DNC chairwoman.
Wasserman Schultz had not responded to the allegation that she pushed the teen or acknowledged the alleged incident online as of Monday afternoon.
The Western Journal reached out to her campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
