Donna Brazile: What Happened At The DNC Was ‘Worse Than Katrina’
Daily Caller ^ | 11/5/17 | Thomas Phippen

Posted on 11/05/2017 7:39:43 AM PST by markomalley

Donna Brazile, former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said Sunday that the events of the 2016 presidential campaign amount to something “worse than hurricane Katrina in terms of the emotional toll.”

Responding to those inside the Democratic party telling her to be silent on her experience, Brazile said they can “go to hell,” she told ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos.

“George, for those who are telling me to shut up, they told Hillary [Clinton] that a couple months ago. You know what I tell them? Go to hell. I’m going to tell my story,” Brazile said.

Brazile’s upcoming book “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House,” details what happened within the DNC during months of hacks, scandal, and internal turmoil during the Democratic primary and 2016 presidential campaign. Members of Clinton’s campaign have already criticized Brazile for writing about “what it was like to be on the inside” the campaign operation.

Stephanopoulos asked Brazile if she regretted anything from the campaign. “Do I regret taking on a job the second time in my life as chair of the party? Cleaning up everyone’s mess?” Brazile responded. Brazile came on to lead the party after former chair, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, stepped down just before the Democratic National Convention.

Brazile said that “being hacked by the Russians,” “being harassed, getting death threats” amounted to a year that “was worse than hurricane Katrina in terms of the emotional toll.”

“Do I regret stranding up for what is right? Helping Hillary Clinton? Helping the Democratic party? As somebody who went through the hacking experience, telling the truth about what happened with the Russians, do I regret that?”Brazile said. “I wish I could have done more.”

“She is bullet proof now. Prior to the book she was not.”

I’ve been saying the same. She joins a small club of people who have been public enough to NOT get targeted (Paula, Monica, Kathleen, for example).

It was a very smart move considering that they made have taken her down without provocation (like the book) just to clean up the ‘loose end’, since she knows so much. Now they’re stuck with her, and she is MAKING THE THREATS now, such as bring up Seth Rich’s name. That is a HUGE WARNING to the Democrats to lay off her...or else.

Let us pray that God exposes the killers of Seth Rich and cut through all the evil veil of darkness covering up the truth.

We need to get Hillary and Alex Baldwin in a steel cage together. It would only be a matter of time until they both blow.

There is a very tiny part of me that respects her for risking her life taking on clinton. You need a microscope though to find it

I'm LMAO that's it's Donna Freakin' Brazile who's blowing apart the whole DNC house of cards, laying bare all of Crooked Hillary's shenanigans in front of the entire world, and doing so using every FR talking point that we've aired over the past several years.

Isn’t Brazil a long time ally of Bill Clinton?

My guess is that Bill Clinton would be perfectly happy if his wife retired from politics for good.

I think it might be more accurate to see this as an anti Hillary move, rather than an anti Clinton move.

“Donna Brazile: What Happened At The DNC Was ‘Worse Than Katrina’”

The problems during Katrina were caused by DEMOCRATS! The female RAT governor who failed to make the necessary requests for aid. Mayor Ray “chocolate city” Nagan failed to mobilize evacuation efforts and let hundreds of busses be flooded. The LA RAT goverment spent the money allocated for levee maintenance and improvement on other things.

...

Why did Sgt. Schultz step down?

I’ll bet Donna Brazile is actually a covert Russian agent.
