Leaked Emails Show DNC Chair Told Chuck Todd Negative Coverage ‘Must Stop’
 [MEDIAITE] Part of the cache of emails from top DNC officials reveals that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish... took issue with the negative coverage coming from MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, going so far as to email NBC’s Chuck Todd to tell the anchor that it "must stop." The email was sent on May 18 to Todd with the subject "Chuck, this must stop." In the email, Wasserman Schultz forwards Todd an article from Breitbart’s Ian Hanchett glossing the criticism Wasserman Schultz had received from the Morning Joe co-host. Brzenzinski is quoted as saying that Wasserman Schultz "should step down" over her poor handling of the Democratic primary. "Chuck, see below. I would like to discuss this with you today. Can you reach out to Luis to schedule a call? Thanks," Wasserman Schultz writes. Just before contacting Todd, in an email to DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda, Wasserman Schultz was more forceful, writing, "This is the LAST straw. [...] This is outrageous. She needs to apologize." Todd replied to Wasserman Schultz with the hours that day he was available to speak, and she agrees to have Miranda set up a call. Todd told Mediaite that the email was not remarkable. "I think it’s clear what it was. Someone complaining about coverage," he said. "Something that happens daily from every campaign we interact with." Posted by: Fred 2016-07-24 |
