Donna Brazile fires back at CNN for ‘ripping me a new one’
Quote:onna Brazile fired back at her former employer, saying CNN ripped her “a new one” instead of letting her defend herself against leaked emails showing she gave Hillary Clinton a sneak peak at debate questions.
“I wish CNN had given me some other things, like the ability to defend myself rather than ripping me a new one,” Brazile said at a Monday event at Hollins University, according to the Roanoke Times.
“CNN never gave me a question,” Brazile said of her resignation.
Brazile, who is the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, revealed that she’s still feeling pain over Clinton’s stunning defeat.
“It’s not as therapeutic as actual grief,” she said. “Actual grief, there’s a stage in which you can move on, but in political grief, it’s circling because everybody feels as though their indignation, their righteous indignation, can be aimed at and turned to someone else.”
She continued: “Despite the darkness of the times, the difficulties, I remain hopeful that I will see that light. … And I believe we still will see, in our lifetimes, a female president of the United States.”
Brazile, a former CNN contributor, offered her resignation in October, and the network accepted, saying it was “completely uncomfortable” with the hacked emails.
The allegations surfaced after stolen emails published by WikiLeaks showed the Clinton campaign receiving debate questions from Brazile, before the CNN-hosted events during the Democratic primary contest.
“CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate,” a CNN spokeswoman insisted at the time.
Brazile’s contract with the cable network had been suspended since she accepted the interim leadership position at the DNC.

Multiple other reporters were in contact with Clinton camp, and they only fired the black woman.

Way to go, Donna. You were one of the 10 key players that finally got the Clintons to permanently retire.

Which of course doesn't answer whether she used her position there to obtain them (from a trusting intern etc.).
I'd really like to see the whole talking-head revolving-door shut down.

And they call us sexists.

She's still denying it. Unbelievable.
I honestly think it's because she doesn't know how the internet works. "How can they have my emails when I have my emails?"

She's parsing the word "gave." And I'm sure that's technically true - no one "gave" her anything, she just took it.

You embarrassed your employer and came under the influence of the Clinton Crime Family, that's why Donna.

Why does everyone refer to her as "Donna"? Like she's your damned next door neighbor or something. She is Brazile, yet another in a long line of Democratic partisan hacks that got caught doing something unethical. To call her by her first name somehow humanizes her and her actions over the cadre of previous partisan hacks that have performed similar abuses of position.
Screw her, and especially her "I'm a Christian woman and straight talk" bullcrap. She is a liar that got caught lying. Quit using her first name to make her seem more connected to everyone than any of the other pieces of crap that preceeded her.
