"American Women Hear The Message Loud And Clear" WASHINGTON -- Over a day ago, Rep. Allen West sent Rep.

West copied Republican leadership on this e-mail.

WASHINGTON – Yesterday afternoon, Rep. Allen West emailed a sexist, hateful tirade to Republican leaders in which he called Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz “vile,” and “despicable,” told her to “shut the heck up,” accused her of not being “a lady,” and said she was therefore undeserving of his respect.
