Donna Brazile joked about her “magical powers” Friday while addressing those who said she did not have the sole authority to remove Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee after she revealed in her new memoir she had considered it when Clinton had a health scare during the 2016 campaign.
Speaking with Bill Maher on his HBO show “Real Time,” during an interview which started with the former Democratic National Committee head calling Maher a “bad motherfucker,” the conversation turned to the controversy that ensued when Brazile shared her consideration of former Vice President Joe Biden as a potential replacement for Clinton when she briefly lost her balance and appeared to collapse in September 2016.
“I didn’t know it was in your power, first of all, to replace her,” Maher said. The DNC, in fact, issued a statement after Brazile’s bombshell came to light, explaining how Brazile would not have the power to replace Clinton alone.
