Clinton Campaign Manager on Brazile Expose: Dems Can’t Keep ‘Fighting Each Other’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

COOPER: "Your campaign got to weigh in on who the communications director was before the campaign. Was that fair?"
MOOK: "First of all, Anderson, I want to underscore some things that were said."
COOPER: "My understanding is that communications position actually had to be filled even before the primary races?"
MOOK: "That's correct. This is a perfect example --"
COOPER: "That wasn't just about the general election, right?"
MOOK: "No but it absolutely ... The purpose of the DNC with while a primary is going on is to hold Republican candidates accountable and no one was filling that post. It's something every Democrat should have been worry about. We asset date where they have to hire someone because we were distressed that there was no lead voice out there speaking out against Donald Trump and Ted Cruz and everyone else."
COOPER: "Clearly Jeff Weaver and the Sanders campaign believes that things were rigged against them."
MOOK: "Here's what I'll say about this. Politics is politics, people have to go out there and say what they need to say. It's dangerous to say it was rigged."
COOPER: "Elizabeth Warren is also saying that now."
MOOK: "Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are important members of our party. They're an important part of our politics. We can't make the case to working people in this country that we're going to stand up for them and fight for them if we're fighting each other. We can't do that. Hillary Clinton won this primary with almost four million votes, that's a bigger lead that Barack Obama had over her when she conceded in 2008. The idea that the DNC can rig a contest, frankly, is laughable. The caucus contests within the larger primer are the the contests that are run by the party. The primary elections are run by secretaries of state. Bernie Sanders won overwhelmingly those caucuses. If we look at what the party managed in this process, Bernie Sanders won those contests and we won only three of them and we bearable won Iowa. There's no evidence to back this up. I understand it's convenient and people want to be angry at what's going."
