The interim
head of the Democratic National Committee, Donna Brazile, was booed
and shouted at during a post-election meeting in Washington.
Brazile, who
was exposed in WikiLeaks’ Podesta emails for giving primary debate
and town hall questions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign when she was
a CNN contributor, has been a target for angry Democrats following
Clinton’s loss to Republican Donald Trump.
Brazile
stepped in as interim chair of the DNC following revelations that
then-chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz had worked to suppress fellow
Democrat, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, in favor of Clinton during
the Democratic primaries.
During
Brazile’s speech to DNC employees on Thursday about the way
forward, a staffer, only identified as Zach, stood up to confront the
interim chair.
“Why
should we trust you as chair to lead us through this?” he
asked, the Huffington Post reports. “You backed a flawed
candidate, and your friend [former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman
Schultz] plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself.”
As some
attendees began to boo, Zach continued. “You are part of the
problem. You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to
die from climate change. You and your friends let this happen, which
is going to cut 40 years off my life expectancy.”
