After revealing explosive details about the DNC and Hillary Clinton in her forthcoming book “Hacks,” the media have sought to discredit Donna Brazile over the fact that she shared a debate question with Hillary Clinton.
Fox News’s Tucker Carlson wanted to know more about the Wikileaks revelation from Brazile—to hear her side of the story—but the former acting DNC chair did nothing but deflect and defend her actions, which the Fox News host repeatedly challenged.
“They’ve come after you and said, look, it’s a little much for you to criticize the DNC for colluding with the Hillary campaign when you conceded that you leaked questions to the Hillary campaign during a CNN town hall–before a CNN town hall,” Carson said. “My question when I’m reading this is, did no one at CNN know that happened? Did they really learn for the first time when they read your book? How could they not have known that?”
Brazile first tried to deflect, simply plugging her book.
Laughing, Tucker interrupted: “Hold on now, slow down, there was a question there, did nobody at CNN know that you did that? … You apparently got them from…”
“Oh, no Tucker, you cannot put words in my mouth. I got on some lipstick from Fox, but that has not forced me to not stand my ground,” Brazile responded.
“No but it’s not your ground, I’m asking about CNN, where you then worked,” he said. “They are mad at you, obviously. Did they know that you leaked these questions, really simple question?”
“You know, Tucker, I said last year…” Brazile started to answer.
“Sounds like you did,” Tucker interjected.
“No, Tucker, don’t try to put words in my mouth. I said last year that CNN never provided us with any questions. CNN never gave us anything in advance. But what I did say, what I have said in the past, and what I say in this book is that I, as an officer of the DNC — and I know Wikileaks gave everybody you know, certain questions and certain emails, but as an officer of the DNC, I sought to expand the number of debates, and I wanted to make sure that we had diverse voices, and we covered issues that had not been discussed in previous debates, and what I did … What I sought to do, Tucker, was to ensure that we had these issues on the table, and I wanted to make sure our candidates, I didn’t want them blindsided. That’s what I admitted to. Look, what Wikileaks put out…”
Tucker couldn’t stop laughing at that response.
“That’s the greatest spin I’ve ever heard, ‘I didn’t want them blindsided.’ That is so good you should do this for a living. That is hilarious,” he said.
..or stay alive as some have suggested. I’m not saying she woke up with a horse’s head in her bed. Maybe just some Seth Rich murder photos. Guess we will never know...
She was back-pedalling so fast the wheels were about to come off. Trying to have it both ways, the pressure from the left has obviously gotten to her, along with the contact high from Tuesday’s election.
Gawd no!! Can you imagine her on "The Five"? Nobody else would ever be able to get a word in edgewise. I think even Gutfeld would be cowed (pun intended ;-)
Why does Rush call Tucker “Chatsworth Osborne Jr.” or whatever.
Would be happy to see THE FACTOR and BILL O'REILLY return..but that will never happen...
So I'm going to save dinner dishes to clean up at 8pm instead of at 6 pm...will take me a bit longer to clean off dried food..then I can relax and watch HANNITY.
What I saw were two very capable people, one a master at dissimulation doing her fake ‘mammy bit’ to throw Tucker and viewers off center. It is mho that Ms. Brazile is doing her bit with a “tell-all-book” that actually tells nothing important that hasn’t been told before...(I haven’t read it). This might be an enormous effort to keep the Clintons, Comey, Muller and others off the front page....I haven’t heard anything about the sale of uranium to the Russians except from Laura and Sean....Comey? Podesta brothers? Huma? etc.....Donna is really good...........
I thought Tucker let Donna run right over him! He allowed her to continue her nonstop, self promoting yapping. I wished he’d have been as hard on Donna as he is on some of the (other) crazed lefties he has on his show.
Heck, even CNN gave a harder hitting interview to Donna, than Tucker did. (Hannity showed clips of that interview.)
Donna spinnin’ is right!
The DNC’s response to Brazile’s revelationsp: “You cheated too, so that proves that we didn’t cheat.”
She’s Hitlary’s colostomy bag and she’s full.
She was claiming whoever wrote that book was a liar. Wished he would have asked if she was lying in the book or lying now?
(Hannity showed clips of that interview.)

Hannity, unfortunately, had Lanny Davis on. I finally turned the sound off. Lanny is unwatchable. All he could harp on when challenged with the fact that Hilly had rigged the primary against Bernie was that she won over Bernie by 4 million votes. It was like a broken record. The only consolation was that #1 - the mute button works well & #2 - the slime ball is not currently holding a position in the Clinton Administration. One of the things I dreaded, should Rotten have won, is that all the old Clintonistas from the past would have been in Hilly’s administration & thus in our faces again with their smarminess and lies. Davis makes my skin crawl & he’s not the only one.
Yes, I also muted, once Lanny showed his ugly mug.
Are you implying Hillary Rotten Clinton is a he?
Good Lord! What a frightening photo!
BTW He was a couple of month ago on Hannity, and Sean asked him if he would like to come back to Fox News. He said he liked his free time.
She’s a good BSer.
