"Neutral" DNC Vice Chair tone polices Bernie Sanders for saying "lesser of two evils"

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.

among the D candidates, correct?

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

Should be fun watching the establishment Dems attempt to tone police Trump and his supporters. Best of luck to you.

Jump to the 6 minute mark. I've always respected Donna Brazile and I fully expected her to cape hard for Hillary but the fact is she's been very respectful to Bernie and the movement he's built. And not just in this clip either.
