Donna Brazile at University of Chicago: 'I'm not Patsy the Slave!'
Donna Brazile
Sheâs been attacked by many of her former allies for airing dirty laundry in public  but  former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile  took no prisoners Monday night in Chicago  telling a crowd  âMama has to eat!â
Excerpts from Brazileâs new book  in which she revealed that she at one point considered replacing Hillary Clinton with Joe Biden in the 2016 presidential campaign  and argued that a deal the Clinton campaign made to help get the national party out of debt gave Clinton unfair leverage in her primary race against Bernie Sanders  created a firestorm among Democrats last week. They also made  Brazile  an unlikely hero for Republicans  including President Donald Trump.
 A combative Brazile  referred repeatedly to  herself  in the third person and hardly let moderator Fred Hochberg get a word in edgewise  sassing her former employer CNN (âWhat you have to do now on TV is insult the other personâ); the president (âunfitâ); and âarrogantâ Clinton campaign staffers who âdisrespectedâ her (âI donât have to give anyone any kisses â Iâm 57 years old. ... Iâm not Patsy the slave!â).
But  Brazile  said  she  has a right to make money after quitting several well-paid jobs to work for the party. Many of those attacking  her  are political consultants who are upset  she  cut them from the party payroll  describing  her  book as âa wake-up callâ for the âconsultant class.â
âIâm not gonna get any Christmas presents â  she  said. âThatâs OK. I make my own gumbo!â
