===DNC Chair===
President Obama nominated her for Chair in April 2011 and the Democratic National Committee confirmed her appoinment on May 4, 2011. Immediately, Schultz began attacking [[Republican]]s. She lied about [[Paul Ryan]]'s [[Medicare]] plan, stating it would deny care to seniors with preexisting medical conditions.<ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb-staff/2011/06/01/open-thread-dnc-chair-lies-about-ryan-medicare-plan#ixzz1OdjLjbsu DNC Chair lies about Ryan Medicare plan]</ref> She called Republicans "anti-women" <ref>Lopez, Kathryn Jean (May 27, 2011).

Hackers obtained emails between Schultz and other DNC staff members who reported to her and posted them on [[Wikileaks]]. These emails showed that instead of Schulz keeping the DNC staff neutral during the 2016 Presidential race, they worked to favor [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]. This led to the supporters of [[Bernie Sanders]] to demand Schultz' resignation, and Senator Sanders endorsed Shultz' opponent in the Democratic congressional primary. Faced with the possibility of demonstrations from Sanders delegates, Schultz resigned just before the Convention opened and did not make her scheduled speech. Donna Brazil was selected by the DNC to fill the remainder of Schultz' term as Chair.
The release by [[Wikileaks]] of a collection of emails indicated that Schultz and other members of the DNC staff showed major bias against the presidential campaign of Senator [[Bernie Sanders]] in favor of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s campaign.<ref name="NYT-Martin20160725">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/25/us/politics/debbie-wasserman-schultz-dnc-wikileaks-emails.html|title=Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Resign D.N.C. Post|last=Martin|first=Jonathan|date=2016-07-25|last2=Rappeport|first2=Alan|newspaper=The New York Times|issn=0362-4331|access-date=}}</ref> These accusations were backed up by the fact that Schultz was the campaign manager for the 2008 Clinton Campaign. WikiLeaks revealed the DNC stooping to cutting poll booth numbers from Bernie leaning states and counties when compared to the poll booth numbers from the 2012 election in states such as [[Arizona]]. The DNC wanted to tag the Jewish Vermont Senator in the Bible Belt as an "atheist", in an attempt to give her another advantage in the early Southern primaries. The DNC scheduled the Democratic primary debates during days of the week when most Americans wouldn't watch, such as Friday and Saturday nights. This was done in order to keep interest in the Democratic primary debates low and with Mrs. Clinton obviously having more name recognition, would have an early advantage on her lesser known opponents. Meanwhile, the Republican primary debates aired during "primetime" for undecided voters who may not have been familiar with all of the available candidates.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Debbie_Wasserman_Schultz&diff=prev&oldid=771339802]</ref>
