Donna Brazile: I’ve Been on a Plane with Two Female Pilots and Said ‘Wow... I Am, This Is Going to Go Fast’

EXCERPT:

BRAZILE: "Well, I just want to reassure the American people that flying is safe. I've been on airplanes all my adult life."

PRIEBUS: "It is safe."

BRAZILE: "And I have seen — I've been on a plane with two female pilots and say, 'Wow, I am — this is going to go fast.' I mean, this is about opportunity. This is who we are as Americans. You know, James Brown, one of my favorite, favorite artists of all time, said, 'I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Just open the door, I'll get it myself.' That's what people have said for centuries in America. Just open the door, give us the opportunity. Give my father the opportunity, someone who had a college scholarship, he went into Korea, he fought for this nation, four Bronze stars, a U.N. medal for valor. Are you going to tell me he was a DEI? No, he was a brave and patriotic American. That's what this is about. It's not about dividing the American people; it's about bringing us together because we are stronger together."
