Donna Brazile: Fox News Hires Former DNC Chief as Political Contributor

*Black Democrats have taken to Twitter to express outrage over former DNC Chairwoman Donna Brazile joining Fox News as a contributor.

The network announced in a statement on Monday that: “Brazile, a veteran Democratic strategist, will offer political analysis across both [Fox News] and FOX Business Network’s daytime and primetime programming.”

Brazile is expected to make her first appearance on “The Daily Briefing with Dana Perino” at 2 p.m. EDT on Monday.

“I’m delighted to be joining FOX News,” Brazile said in a statement. She also acknowledged the criticism she would face from “my friends in the progressive movement for being on FOX News.”

“My response is that, if we’ve learned anything from the 2016 election, it is that we can’t have a country where we don’t talk to those who disagree with our political views. There’s an audience on FOX News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats. We have to engage that audience and show Americans of every stripe what we stand for rather than retreat into our ‘safe spaces’ where we simply agree with each other,” she added.

“There’s an audience on FOX News that doesn’t hear enough from Democrats,” she continued. “We have to engage that audience and show Americans of every stripe what we stand for rather than retreat into our ‘safe spaces’ where we simply agree with each other. For there is no safety in self-limiting numbers.

But Brazile assures her critics that “I’m still going to be me on FOX News. I’m going to do what I always do: and dish it out straight, exactly as I see it, with just as much New Orleans hot sauce as folks expect.”

A source close to the situation at Fox News told The Hill that Brazile will not be involved with debates or town halls at the network.

Fox News viewers have also lashed out on Twitter at the decision to hire Brazile during Jeanine Pirro’s absence. The host is currently on suspension after making offensive comments about a Muslim member of Congress.
