Democrat National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday denied a report from Washington Examiner columnist Philip Klein, who quoted the Florida congresswoman as saying that Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren described Republican policies toward Israel as “dangerous” for the Jewish state.

Wasserman Schultz said the Examiner misquoted her, saying she never attributed the comments to Oren and that she really just said the GOP was treating the Middle East nation “like a political football, which is dangerous for Israel.” Klein defended his reporting, saying it was accurate and promising to post audio of the congresswoman’s comments.

The report from Klein quoted Wasserman Schultz saying, “We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.”

The remarks came during a training session at the Democrat National Convention to instruct Jewish Democrats on how to persuade fellow Jewish Americans to vote for Obama, according to the Examiner.

Oren refuted the characterization that Wasserman Schultz attributed to him. He issued a statement Tuesday saying, “I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel. Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle.”

In a Tuesday interview with Fox News, Wasserman Schultz argued that the Examiner had deliberately misquoted her.

Klein later posted this audio of Wasserman Schultz’s comments to prove that his quote was accurate

Editor's Note: Yet another example of how Progressives will manipulate the truth in order to cater to the audience of the moment. We've said it before and we will say it again and again and again...honesty and truth must be weighed heavily this election. Remember the Obama Administration saying Obamacare was "not a tax" when they were pushing it through Congress only to argue that it was a tax when in from of the Supreme Court...only to say it wasn't a tax, yet again, after SCOTUS ruled?
