After raising a flabbergasting amount of money — more than half a million dollars — in his first three months of campaigning, Tim Canova can now call himself the first bona fide primary challenger in Debbie Wasserman Schultz's career. To prove that point, Canova, who is challenging the Democrat for her seat in the House of Representatives, is now proposing that he and the congresswoman debate each other, an idea Canova says Wasserman Schultz is less-than-enthused about. He says he's sent at least three letters to Wasserman Schultz's campaign about the idea and gotten no response.

In an interview with New Times, Canova said the incident occurred at the "grand opening" for the Broward Democratic Party's new offices in Plantation yesterday.

"One of my campaign staffers was filming, and Debbie's staffer grabbed the phone out of his hand," Canova said. "It happened two times. One time, she actually stuffed the phone down his pants."

Canova added that he also approached Wasserman Schultz with a print copy of the letter he'd sent her, asking for a debate.

"I tried to hand her a copy of the letter, but she wouldn’t take it from me and told me to hand it to an aide," he said. "She was not very pleasant."

New Times has asked the Wasserman Schultz campaign about the incident. We'll update the post

Why won't Debbie agree to debates? Wasn't she just on the Daily show and said that candidates should debate often. There is video of the incident in the article.

Also is shoving a phone down someone's pants considered sexual assault?

1. IT'S A CONSPIRACY! nt

12. Right.

...and then America "could see" the recount as a "Florida" story, where the locals were outraged Washington would step in.

Do you think the mainstream media monopoly will tell anyone? They should know. By definition, they're a conspiracy.

13. Wow - we agree

you got one right - well done

[AzDar]

16. ... "ONE".

21. Political dirty tricks are a conspiracy and they abound.

2. She doesn't want to debate...

...because she knows that she will likely lose in a debate and that will further increase the likelihood she will not win in the primary. And, like most corrupt politicians, she will do anything to stay in power.

3. What the heck is that?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the head of the DNC, shoved a phone down a staffer's pants?

4. No DWS didn't, one of her aides did.

[DemocracyDirect]

6. Oh thanks for that.

Still not good, but that was a terrible mental picture.

[ViseGrip]

7. They should press charges....for going inside the pants.

Human space violation.

5. "I'm going to need some muscle over here!"

8. Is she a bully?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

9. Look how she runs the DNC...

I think she is...

Also there were rumors Obama wanted to get rid of her but she threatened Obama so he backed off

[Skwmom]

20. Obama endorsed her. Sad, but true.

10. Debbie has her hands full with important Democratic Party business.

Meanwhile, someone should advise Canova not to leave his present place of employment. Wherever that might be.

11. If Debbie wants to hide from voters then maybe she should find a new line of work

17. payday lender? Or maybe she can get a job with the SWAT teams that raid medical marijuana users?

14. Important business like working with Sheldon Adelson to send medical marijuana users to prison.

15. Assault and battery!

19. Wow, that is actually Simple Battery.

Amazing how often during political campaigns that aides and security people break that law by pushing people aside and initiating unwelcome physical contact. I think it really does feed into the idea that politicians are somehow above everyone else.

18. Gawd she's horrible. Please win, Mr. Canova.

[Scuba]

22. Wow. Poor Debbie, being primaried, and after all she's done for us ...
