Donald Trump is using Donna Brazile's new claims that the DNC favored Hillary Clinton during the primary process to try and shift the story away from Russia again and onto Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Now several Democrats are responding and that includes Brazile herself. The former interim DNC chairperson is now trying to clarify her words, saying: "Today’s lesson: Being quoted by Donald Trump means being MIS-quoted by Donald Trump. Stop trolling me. #NeverSaidHillaryRiggedElection"
This was in response to these Trump tweets:

"Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders. Bought and paid for by Crooked H.......This is real collusion and dishonesty. Major violation of Campaign Finance Laws and Money Laundering - where is our Justice Department?"

Brazile went on to say: "Mr President, please—go back to attacking me. It’s better than having my own words scrambled and spewed out by you."

"Thank you Mr President (a few others trollers), for translating my new book into Trumpspeak. #NotWhatISaid."

"Donald Trump says I said “DNC RIGGED the system…” First of all, I don’t speak in CAPS! #NotWhatISaid"

Senator Bernie Sanders is also reacting to Trump's tweets on Brazile's revelations saying: "We won't be distracted from your efforts to give billionaires tax cuts, take health care from millions and deny climate change. Do your job."

As for what Brazile really meant? And what was her motivation to release her claims now... Take a look at this opinion piece in HuffPost.

1. i used to enjoy her on the talk shows...

...sad...

[Skittles]

3. I did too

I thought she was very well-spoken and always remained calm

2. Yeah for Dan Rather

4. I find it impossible to believe that Donna

did NOT know that Trump would seize on this. At this point, as Donna well knows, any distraction, particularly in the Democratic Party, can only be good for him. And of course, anything that divides the Democrats is good for Republicans.

It is sad that Donna is ending her career like this, but that's what she consciously chose.

5. It has been several days of eye-opening reveals. Disappointing on all levels...

... but somehow, not entirely surprising either.
