Former Democratic National Committee interim chairwoman Donna Brazile on Sunday said critics in her party of her brutally honest memoir can “go to hell,” declaring she has no regrets for her leadership despite its “emotional toll.”
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” the author of “Hacks, The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House” called it “a lesson of 2016.”
“If I released it next year, they would say, ‘Donna, you're impacting our 2018,” she said. “For those who are telling the me to shut up, they told Hillary [Clinton] that a couple of months ago. You know what I tell them? Go to hell. I'm going to tell my story.”
Saying 2016 pressures, including the hacking of the DNC and “death threats,” took an “emotional toll… worse than Hurricane Katrina,” yet she nevertheless wished “I could have done more.”
“I take a hard, hard hit at people within the party because I love my party… my country,” she said of her criticism of the DNC. “I'm going to continue the fight for it.”
She also denied the 2016 primary was rigged, pushing back against assertions she found the Democratic party nomination process rigged.
“I found no evidence, none, whatsoever,” she said. “The only thing I found, which I said, I found the cancer, but I’m not killing the patient, was this memorandum that prevented the DNC from running its own operation.”
