Trump: DNC should fire Donna Brazile

Donald Trump says Donna Brazile should be fired from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for apparently giving a debate question to Hillary Clinton’s campaign during the Democratic presidential primary. 

“I think she just got fired from the network. She should be fired from the DNC,” Trump said Monday during a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich.

{mosads}In an email released Monday by WikiLeaks, Brazile appears to provide the Clinton campaign with a question the day before a CNN primary debate in Flint. Mich. She warned Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and communications director Jennifer Palmieri, “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash.”

“Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the [people] of Flint,” Brazile wrote in the message, dated March 5, 2016.

At the time of the email, Brazile was a contributor to CNN and the vice chairwoman of the DNC.

Brazile has been serving as the interim chairwoman of the DNC since Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) stepped down in July. 

Trump mused that if he had leaked a debate question, he would get the electric chair.

“By the way, could you imagine if I did that?” Trump asked. “Bobby, what would happen to me if i did that? Electric chair, I think,” Trump added, referring to former college basketball coach Bobby Knight, who was on hand at the rally.

In a statement Monday, CNN said Brazile never had access to “any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate.”

“We are completely uncomfortable with what we have learned about her interactions with the Clinton campaign while she was a CNN contributor.” 

Brazile resigned from CNN on Oct. 14, according to the network.
