Haha.. ewww. Your comment made me just go Google the statement to see how it ended up being used. The first hit is of course CNN:

In a response to Sanders on Saturday afternoon, Wasserman Schultz insisted she would remain neutral in the Democratic presidential race despite the Vermont senator's endorsement of her primary opponent.

"I am so proud to serve the people of Florida's 23rd district and I am confident that they know that I am an effective fighter and advocate on their behalf in Congress," Wasserman Schultz said. "Even though Senator Sanders has endorsed my opponent, I remain, as I have been from the beginning, neutral in the presidential Democratic primary. I look forward to working together with him for Democratic victories in the fall."

It already feels so scummy seeing a team craft a message pretending to be said by an individual, but seeing it in the context it ends up getting used in is nauseating. I suppose it feels different for things like this than for a presidential speech or whatever that you know is written by somebody else. Little "responses" like this you tend to think are actual responses coming from the person the media emphasizes supposedly saying them. Can't be assed to come up with a three sentence response without an entire committee formulating it for them. Such leadership, such charisma.
