I expected Naomi to really ask hard questions... WOW. WTF is going on with you guys TYT?!? All Naomi is doing is believing everything Donna says and propping everything she says up. I can't believe this interview. You guys had such an opportunity here and you BLEW IT. YOU COMPLETELY fucking BLEW IT.

[aydh]

When she said "I don't have any pictures", I saw Donna Brazile with total empathy, and I think her emotional moment there shows that she isn't lying about those files being corrupted. Despite her obvious flaws, Donna is a lot more human than I thought. She does love power, but I think she wants in on the the new power, so she is showing a real interest in progressive voices. She might know that the future is progressive and wants in.

Wow this nomiki roars like a lion while in studio...but she’s a purring kitten in front of dirty Donna ...Brazille. Too bad Jordan’s not around.

Softball interview.
And I would like Dona to see how much people here are still disappointed in her and don't trust her anymore.
"Better late than never" doesn't work in her case.
And people here are Democrats, Liberals, Progressives.
I don't think she's a bad, evil person but she definitely chose the wrong side.
She will be remembered for doing that.
Classic establishment person.

About 35 minutes in when she starts gassing on about "Russian hacking" she lost me. Sorry, hundreds of millionaires have been breaking their necks for a whole year, and STILL cannot produce any evidence to back up that claim. It was garbage then, it remains garbage, and it'll be garbage when they rehash it again tomorrow.

[tapatton]

Sure, Donna, I bet you went straight to YouTube and hit subscribe as soon as you heard that Jordan was gone.

Normally I like tyt interviews but this was just nonsense. Where was the hard grubby journalism

[tantzer]

On the question of passing the debate questions to Clinton, Brazile says she didn’t share anything with Clinton that she didn’t also share with Sanders. I would like TYT to fact-check that by asking Sanders about it. I rather doubt it. I would rather Donna Brazile admitted that she was to some degree part of the problem she is now complaining about. That kind of admission would give her some credibility.

[StorieGrubb]

yeah, i bet she's a huge fan of the jimmy dore show.

[muserwood]

Brazile lies. There is absolutely no evidence of a "hack". The emails were downloaded, like on to a thumbdrive. How do we know this? By the speed in which it was removed. The speed of hacks and downloads are very different. Kudos to Brazile for what she did, but that doesn't mean we should automatically swallow that BS.

[frankgarcia]

Yea Jimmy Dore should’ve done this interview. This is shit.

[stevemccormack]

There are two issues with this interview - What is Donna Brazile's motivation/narrative? - What is Nomiki Konst's approach here? I feel that Brazile might be the best that is left of the Corporate Dems but thats all too little and too late. They are not redeemable. Nomiki is a complete softball interviewer, which might have worked here or there except it didn't.. no ability to ask tough questions and worse, no inclination. This can be a learning moment for TYT - Stop letting the Corporate Dems off the hook. Be tough with the likes of Brazile or kick her off the set. If Nomiki cannot give a gritty interview then give her a different role perhaps.

im surprised nomi was so soft on donna she was hard on tom perez.

[biggiescooby]

“The one, the only incomparable, Donna Brazile.” Sorry I’ve tuned out.

[marcuslh]

My problem with Donna Brazile is that even though she seems to understand all of the issues surrounding the democratic party... she doesn't actually want to hold anyone accountable for ANYTHING they've done. If you listen to her you could almost forget just HOW many people have been put in place to stop the very reforms she talks about. There's no convincing the guys that make tons of money that way to not want to anymore, they even make tons of money even when they lose.

[mgie]

She just sounds like she's backtracking and putting on an act at all times. Credit for coming to the interview, but she didn't explain anything and said several lies. Having years of experience isn't a great excuse for cheating.

[mistersmith]

So Jordan Chariton gets fired and Donna Brazile does TYT interview..?

[eval]

A year ago Nomiki called the DNC a money laundering organization! Where is that woman?!
U could replace Nomiki w a pineapple, or a Mr potato head. Wtf is this?

[Ikeula]

I'm halfway through and still waiting to see Donna get challenged.

[snowblow]

Very weak interview. Disappointing at best. More like a plug for the book.
