Donna Brazile fires back at Hillary Clinton staffers: 'I'm not Patsy the slave'

Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile said she’s frustrated by the reaction of Hillary Clinton’s campaign staffers who have criticized her opinions on what the Clinton campaign got wrong in the 2016 election. Brazile said on ABC’s “This Week” the Clinton campaign hamstrung the party during the election by basically taking over the Democratic National Convention. She said the 100-plus staffers who criticized her remarks in her new book don’t get how they hurt the party.

“Here's what they don't know. What it was like to be over at the DNC during the hacking. What it's like to bury a child. I did, Seth Rich. They don't know what it's like to protect a staff from further harassment,” she said....

Leopard doesn’t change it’s spots. Think Tipper Gore. Raved against raunchy lyrics. What did she get for it? Scorn. Ridicule. Dumped Al. Smartest move. If she isn’t one of us there’s no hope for them.

[Windflier]

GO FOR IT (assuming of course she is sincere and has the countr’s best interests at heart).

I doubt Donna's motivations are as noble as that. She is a Democrat, after all.

I think she's more motivated by anger over how she was treated by Hillary, a sense of urgency, as regards her personal safety, and a total digust at the scale of criminal behavior she witnessed during the election.

I was surprised to see this video clip on FOX this morning.

[SE Mom]

I think somewhere she implies that trump or the ruskies had Seth Rich murdered.

Donna is interesting. Seems to be trying to help and hurt Hillary at the same time.

Regardless, the DNC is a mess.

No kidding...and it does say something when the US Communist Party feels happy enough with the Democrat to not have to run their own candidate.

...it says a LOT.

[a fool in paradise]

Thing is, by not running a candidate, they didn’t get any votes. When you petition to get on ballots, aren’t you automatically on the next on if you get x number of votes?

And at a certain level you are eligible for matching funds?

[BobL]

The laws vary by state, I think. California, for example, AUTOMATICALLY puts the Greens and Libertarians on the ballot, regardless of their performance...it is in the State Constitution (or at least state law). Pretty crappy stuff.

Seth Rich’s mom was Donna.

[neverevergiveup]

Makes me wonder whether Donna Brazile asked Seth Rich to help stop the Clintons. It doesn't make sense, given that she gave Hillary the debate questions in March - and thus was trying to help Hillary, but the timing is very odd. Seth Rich was tragically murdered on July 10th, 2016. Brazile became DNC Chair on July 28th, 2016. Maybe it was the Seth Rich murder that has motivated Donna to change allegiances.

Unbelievable to me that no culprits in Seth Rich's murder have been identified, and that it seems to have remained a very unaggressive and quiet investigation.

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t think such law would hold up to constitutional challenge.

When specific parties (but not ALL parties) are identified in a law for preferential treatment on the ballot, it would appear to game the system.

[Windflier]

There is much more in that comment than a figure of speech. It's a very peculiar comment considering that Seth Rich was not her child

Oh, I don't doubt that Donna may have felt a twinge of maternal grief over Seth's murder, but I really wouldn't read more than that into her statement. It was an off the cuff remark.

I very much agree with you that her mention of Seth Rich was more of a warning shot across the Clinton's bow.

You can see her holding her butt cheeks together to stop from crapping her pants before she collapses and is pitched into the van.

“Wow. This is turning into an civil war in the Democratic party.”

Good luck to both sides.

[tflabo]

Deer sheep Libs. Is it okay now for Sean Hannity to talk about Seth Rich now that patsy Donna brought it up again?

[BlueLancer]

“Wow. This is turning into an civil war in the Democratic party.”

Maybe we should start running guns to both sides ...

[BobL]

Agree...but it certainly was that way, and I guess no one really cared, as they got so few votes. But with the dismemberment of the Democrat Party, starting after the Virginia election on Tuesday, those little parties may be the only ones in position to take its place.

[Bonemaker]

“Hey Nasty Donna, I have NO sympathy for you, especially after what you said about Clarence Thomas.”

Me either...she was an Obama supporter and apologist for those 8 terrible years.

No, they called her “Donna the slave”...and sometimes “water buffalo”.
