Bernie stated the obvious, that voters see Hillary Clinton as the lesser of two evils compared to Donald Trump.
Duh.
Donna Brazile sets him straight: ?
Primaries can be contentious, but we Democrats don't call each other evil. #ThisWeek.
He didn't call Hillary evil. "Lesser of two evils" is an idiom that means something is less bad than the alternative. It doesn't mean supernatural evil or any other kind necessarily. And Donna Brazile knows that. Her tone policing is unnecessary and contrived to make Bernie look bad and to kiss Hillary's ass.
It's not the first time she's jumped in to create the impression Bernie said something out of line when he was simply stating the obvious.
She previously called it extremely disgraceful when Bernie said he ran in the Democratic primaries because the media doesn't cover independent candidates.

Or, if Sanders had somehow won the D nomination, he would be the lesser of two evils when compared to Trump.

I would've added "real" Democrats...
