Former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile is calling out the GOP for seemingly being too afraid to admit how “unfit” Donald Trump is for office.
On Sunday, Dec. 17, Brazile appeared on ABC News’s This Week, where she blasted the possibility of another Trump presidency while lauding former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as one Republican who has “shown some courage” in speaking out against Trump, The Hill reports. Not only is Brazile against Trump possibly taking office again, but she doesn’t understand why the GOP is allowing him to be the front-runner in another presidential election.
“Look, I’ve watched all of the Republican debates; I’m probably one of maybe two Americans that have found these debates to be very interesting because, on one hand,” she explained.

Brazile was also asked about comments made by Republican presidential candidate and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who expressed criticism and support of Trump despite running against him for the 2024 election.
“What [Haley] tried to do today was just, like, try to go down the middle and say, ‘Well, I like this, but I don’t like that,’” Brazile said. “If you cannot point out your differences with the front-runner, then I don’t think you have a strategy to win.”
She continued. “After all, [Trump] controls the Republican Party. He controls the MAGA movement. He’s in charge, and if you are not willing to say that I disagree with him that immigrants poison the blood of the country, or I disagree with him on the election results. If you are not willing to disagree and point out your own vision, then I don’t think you are electable.”
Trump is leading in polls ahead of the 2024 election, while current President Joe Biden is seeing new lows, the Wall Street Journal reports.
