Kasie Hunt on Brazile’s Rigged Primary Revelations: The Democrats’ House Is ‘On Fire’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC and NBC News political correspondent Kasie Hunt said the Democrats' house was "on fire" after former interim Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile's revelations came to light earlier this week.

Brazile makes allegations in her upcoming book that the Democratic presidential primary was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton during the lead up to the 2016 election.

Hunt was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday discussing an interview she previously did with Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), and began discussing the discord between Democratic Party leaders and Clinton's Democratic primary challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.).

"We have dramatically understated so far this morning the depth of anger among Bernie Sanders supporters," Hunt said. "This was the thing they spent the most time and energy talking about. At the Harvard Review, after the election, they were still fighting with Hillary Clinton campaign officials about this. It is still driving how the party is evolving to this day."
