Bill Moyers and Michael Winship | DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Has a Change of Heart, but Too Little, Too Late
Bill Moyers and Michael Winship, Moyers & Company
Excerpt: "Last week the previously tone-deaf Wasserman Schultz perked up, did an about-face and announced she will go along with the proposed new rules on payday lending after all.
