DNC Vice Chair Ellison Has No Answers For Clinton Criticism Of DNC—
The latest disastrous news cycle for the DNC continued this morning with more stories of unrest and discord, highlighted by DNC allies “incensed” by Clinton criticism of the party apparatus.
Perez and Vice-Chair Rep. Keith Ellison are struggling mightily with damage control.
In a break with recent tradition, the Morning Joe team pressed Keith Ellison hard this morning after he refused to give a substantive response to Clinton’s criticism, with Mika ending the interview by telling him, “I just don’t know what you said — at all.”
Here’s the transcript:
BRZEZINSKI: I mean she says it was bankrupt. She says it was totally disorganized. She says it was a complete mess. Is that the case?
KAY: And they didn’t give her anything.
BRZEZINSKI: And they didn’t give her anything. Is that true?
REP. ELLISON: Let me tell you, you know, we can’t relitigate the past. You know —
BRZEZINSKI: Man, no.
REP. ELLISON: But the truth is – no, seriously, let me finish my point. The truth is that Trump is getting rid, is abandoning climate action. He is taking away people’s protection for pre-existing conditions. He is trying to ban people based on their religion. There is no time for us to go back and try to figure out who shot John. We’ve got to figure out what went wrong so we can fix it and then move forward in an aggressive way.
BRZEZINSKI: I just don’t know what you said —
REP. ELLISON: That’s where I’m at.
BRZEZINSKI: — at all.
