Donna Brazile: Soldiers Aledging Bergdahl are a PR Campaign by Republicans
National Review Online ^ | 6/8/14 | Patrick Brennan

Posted on 06/09/2014 4:49:22 PM PDT by originalbuckeye

Democratic strategist and former Gore-campaign manager Donna Brazile said this morning that veterans accusing recently returned Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl of desertion are part of a “PR campaign by Republicans.”

After fellow panelist Ana Navarro noted that members of Bergdahl’s unit had consistently expressed concerns about the circumstances of his capture, Brazile said it was an effort to “muddy the waters” surrounding the prisoner deal.

Quickly criticized for the comment by her fellow panelists on CNN, she said that she’d never impugn the testimony of a veteran, but stood by her comments.

“That’s all they do . . . all they do is focus their vitriol, their rage, against this president,” Brazile said. “If the president this morning had scrambled eggs and bacon, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast. If the president had cereal and fruit, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast.”

In the early days after Bergdahl was released, a former Bush administration official, Richard Grenell, reportedly was involved to some extent in helping soldiers who’d served with the sergeant connect with the media

So Brazile believes that the soldiers who served with Bergdahl are lying about his desertion because they hate Obama?? REALLY? When Bergdahl went missing, the story came out that he had deserted. The Left is definitely becoming unhinged!

“If the president this morning had scrambled eggs and bacon, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast. If the president had cereal and fruit, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast.”

Actually, if the alleged president had scrambled eggs and bacon, I would express surprise. Bacon is not Halal.

Is that, ‘knee_pads Brazile’, saying this?

I guess when one was a part of the most moral presidency in the history of this country, then one would have standing to question anyone...

Were these guys supposed to wait for Matt Lauer and Anderson Pooper to call them and give them a chance to fill in some gaps in what was already officially known about the deserter?

It's just like Rush said.

Every issue is a soap opera for these clowns. The seriousness of the issue, or its impact to the nation as a whole, doesn't matter.

Only Donna and his cook cares about what the President had for breakfast. Have no idea myself, but my best guess is that it was not brain food.

Typical, right wing conspiracy. Works for anything as far as left wing socialist lying pigs are concerned.

Obama could run over someone on purpose and kill them and Donna Brazile would make excuses for it.

@donnabrazile Sorry you are unfamiliar with the timeline. The PR firm stepped in when the left fragged Bergdahl’s troop mates.

There should be a requirement that all Lefty Pigs have to explain the meaning of ‘Projection’ when making a statement.

Yes. Each posting where I list myself twice is a vanity posting. Perhaps I forget to add vanity. But where I am posting an article by someone, I am listed as the poster and they are listed as the author. Is that what you’re asking?
