Donna Brazile Tells Trump To 'Seek Forgiveness' After POTUS Levels Her with Brutal Tweets
Donna Brazile, a Fox News contributor with a checkered past, urged President Donald Trump to “repent” and “seek forgiveness” after he unleashed a pair of scorching tweets Sunday.
Although the first of Trump’s tweets targeted Fox, his second was a direct attack on Brazile and the scandal that devastated her career.
The controversy began when a Wikileaks email dump revealed Brazile, at the time a CNN contributor and vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, had sent insider information about a crucial debate to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016.
Brazile initially denied the leaks, claiming she was being “persecuted,” but eventually took responsibility for the emails.
She lost her job at the news network after the damning Wikileaks dump.
Trump, like many across America, was not happy with Fox News’ decision to hire Brazile in 2019.
Rasmussen at 50%. @MediaBuzzFNC & @FoxNews are only getting worse! Now @donnabrazile & others on Fox. Not what it used to be! https://t.co/Uo51Yn5PTX

Brazile’s response to the tweets was mild.
The Fox contributor urged the president to “repent” and “seek forgiveness & strive for excellence.”
Mr President, you represent over 320 million ppl. Focus on your job! Try to bring out the best in others and repent when you make mistakes. Seek forgiveness & strive for excellence.

Brazile hasn’t always been so courteous to Fox News fans.
Fox immediately caught flak for its choice to hire Brazile, and one of the contributor’s first statements after being taken on by the network proved just how bad that decision was.
Brazile insulted Fox viewers’ intelligence almost immediately after being hired and called the network a “safe space” for those who disagreed with Democrats.
If the network wants to reverse what Trump and many other Americans regard as its decline, it may need to start taking a hard look at Brazile and others.
Until then, Fox may find itself, in the president’s words, only getting worse.
