Donna Brazile appeared on SiriusXM's Make It Plain with host Mark Thompson today and spoke about 2016 presidential election, the response to the DNC being hacked, Hillary Clinton, the CNN fiasco and her dismissal at the network, DNC employee Seth Rich and her time as interim chairwoman after the ouster of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.



Brazile told Thompson she has great "love" for Hillary Clinton and opened up about the health of the 2016 Democratic nominee for president. Brazile also spoke about she feels responsible for the death of Seth Rich and viewed him as her child. The veteran Democratic operative said to Thompson, "I hope to God we find out who murdered Seth Rich."



From Brazile's interview on the SiriusXM Progress channel:













MARK THOMPSON, HOST: Were the Russians involved - in your opinion, I know this hasn’t been resolved yet – in Seth Rich’s death? Yes, no, or I don’t know?



DONNA BRAZILE: I don’t know. I’m not a part of the investigative team, but I can tell you this much, and thank you for asking about Seth. He was my child. I loved him. He worked in the voting rights division, I was the vice chair over that division. He was one of two staff people. I love him, I miss him, he was a patriot, and I hope to God we find out who murdered Seth Rich.



MARK THOMPSON: You wrote in the book you feel responsible for his death.



DONNA BRAZILE: Because he was my child.



MARK THOMPSON: Okay, I understand.



DONNA BRAZILE: Don’t make me cry this morning-



MARK THOMPSON: I’m sorry, I don’t mean to do that-



DONNA BRAZILE: He was my child, when he died on July 10th…he was my child. Mark, I have been in politics all my adult life, the only children I have are the children that I have hired. They’re my children.

MARK THOMPSON, HOST: Do you believe Hillary Clinton was ill when she said “basket of deplorables?” You felt she was very ill, even before she fell. You saw her, you offered her tea.



DONNA BRAZILE: I have great respect for her. You know my relationship with Eleanor Holmes Norton. You know my relationship in the past with Dorothy Height and Shirley Chisholm, and so many others. My relationship with her, my friendship, goes back a long time. And I just felt that my friend wasn’t feeling good. And when she fell, and when I saw those videos, like everybody else, you worry about somebody you love. You don’t take that as, you know, she slipped down. I took that as something was amiss, and I wanted her to get acupuncture. I wanted her to have tea. I wanted her to rest. Because we’re not- none of us are spring chickens anymore, and she was working nonstop, Mark. She really put her heart and soul into representing and helping this country.

Brazile on the "worry" she had after Hillary Clinton fell ill at a 9/11 memorial event in 2016:
