‘Yesterday, Donna Brazile, the new DNC Chair, appeared on ABC’s “This Week” and declared that pay for play like “someone who is a donor…saying I want access” is just an attempt to “criminalize behavior that is normal.” Specifically, when asked about pay for play allegations against the Clinton Foundation, Brazile responded as follows:
“First of all, Martha, the way I look at it, I’ve been a government official. So, you know, this notion that, somehow or another, someone who is a supporter, someone who is a donor, somebody who’s an activist, saying I want access, I want to come into a room and I want to meet people, we often criminalize behavior that is normal. And I don’t see what the smoke is.”‘
