Former interim Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Donna Brazile accused top Clinton campaign aides of treating her like a slave, recalling in her upcoming memoir how she told them that she would not stand to be treated as their “whipping girl”.
The excerpt from “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House,” was reported on Saturday by The Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the book.
In the memoir, Brazile recounted an exchange with Charlie Baker, Marlon Marshall and Dennis Cheng — all senior staffers on Hillary Clinton‘s campaign — in which she said she was being treated like a character from the film “12 Years a Slave.”
“I’m not Patsey the slave,” Brazile writes, referencing the character portrayed by Lupita Nyong’o in the film. “Y’all keep whipping me and whipping me and you never give me any money or any way to do my damn job. I am not going to be your whipping girl!”
