“Brazile ultimately admitted to leaking the questions in a March 2017 essay for Time magazine. “My job was to make all our Democratic candidates look good, and I worked closely with both campaigns to make that happen,” she wrote. “But sending those emails was a mistake I will forever regret.”The truth is that Donna Brazile has never changed— but Fox News has not only dramatically changed, but is currently in actual moving-to-the-left transition.
“The hiring of Donna Brazile by Fox News as a contributor should be taken at face value: Proof positive that the Number One Cable Network is no longer teetering toward the left but is now an active part of it. “Brazile’s arrival in the aftermath of Fox News suspending Judge Jeanine Pirro all for asking questions about radical Somalian activist Ilhan Omar on her ‘Justice’ show, is not only a slap in the face to Pirro and her many followers, but a slap in the face to the network’s many conservative viewers. . “That this happened in the prelude to Election 2020 should come as a wake-up call to Conservatives everywhere. “At best—and for the longest time—Fox News has been only marginally better than the alphabet networks, and at worst, following those networks in footsteps that are a perfect match in size.”
“Longtime Democrat operative and newly minted Fox News contributor Donna Brazile defended former President Barack Obama and his administration over Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election, saying she believes they did “everything they could.” “I think they did everything they could without sounding all of the alarm bells,” Brazile said on Fox News’s The Daily Briefing. “If Obama did more on Russian meddling, she said, critics would have accused him of trying to help his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in her race against then-candidate Donald Trump,” Fox News reported.
“He was in a box,” Brazile said of the former president. “Perhaps President Trump is in a box,” she added, before calling for action to prevent future meddling. “In the Fox report, Brazile claimed it was the Trump campaign that “exploited” information from WikiLeaks, which has suspected ties to Russia. “Every day, the Trump campaign would get the WikiLeaks information; they would blast it,” Brazile said. “He used it in his daily rallies and daily meetings.” “Brazile, who served as interim Democratic National Committee chair during the election, backed away from making any determination about whether her party should pursue impeaching the president,” Fox reported. “The Mueller report concluded that neither President Trump nor anyone in his presidential campaign colluded with Russia but stopped short of clearing the president of obstructing justice.
“Special counsel Robert Mueller’s decision to leave the obstruction question open has been snapped up as what Democrats have called a “road map for impeachment.” “One of the Democrat presidential candidates, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), announced on Twitter on Friday that she supports starting impeachment proceedings. “But Brazile backed away from endorsing an effort to get the president removed from office. “I think it’s premature to talk about what the next step is,” she said. “Before we can move into what I call the impeachment gear, perhaps we should just dive into this report.”In her own words, Donna Brazile has arrived at Fox News with “impeachment gear” and is ready to “dive into this report”. Meanwhile, an Internet commenter best describes Fox News as it is today: “Fox News has gone from Bill O’Reilly to Donna Brazile.”
