‘Floodgate of Lies!’ ABC’s Donna Brazile and Reince Priebus Slug it Out in Fiery Battle over Trump Rhetoric

EXCERPT:

BRAZILE: “Look, I got to say something to you. I come out of the civil rights movement. Nonviolence was our touchstone. We made change by going out there, protesting because we wanted to change our country, to make sure that everybody was included. Democrats, and I have been a Democrat since I was 18 years old, although I voted once or twice for a Republican or two, there’s no, no — and I mean this -- there’s no place for violent rhetoric. And when you threaten election workers, when you threaten to execute your 'former Joint Chief of Staff,' Mr. Milley, when you mock Nancy Pelosi’s husband being beaten by a hammer, I don’t want to be lectured by Eric Trump. Who in the hell is Eric Trump saying Democrats? No. There’s no place for violence of any kind. And this is something that needs to be said. I was there with you, brother, Mr. Priebus. I was there with you the day that Mr. Trump had that attempt attempted assassination. The Biden campaign put down all their ads, just like they did during Covid, and they said, 'We are going to stop this.' We need both political parties, both leaders. Do not go out there and blame Haitians. Do not go out there and blame immigrants and migrants. That is the rhetoric we hear every day. And you cannot — you cannot say Joe Biden won this election? Joe Biden won the election. Then you should not — you will not — "

PRIEBUS: "Okay. All right. We don't have that much time. It's not a monologue. This show is not a monologue."

BRAZILE: "No, no. But it's not the lies."

PRIEBUS:" The fact of the matter is, people have different opinions, okay?"

BRAZILE: "It's the floodgate of lies. Lies!"
