Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., called Tuesday for Democratic National Committee employees to be fired for sending emails that exposed the party’s bias toward Hillary Clinton.
“The content was terrible, they should all be fired,” McCaskill admitted in an interview on Fox News Tuesday night.
McCaskill had been reluctant to address the scandal. She opened the segment by bashing Republicans for not being able to woo former presidents into attending their convention last week, calling it a “real contrast” from the Democratic convention.
But host Greta Van Susteren pushed back, telling the moderate Democrat her party had issues of its own, including the leaking of 20,000 staff emails that showed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was blocked from winning the race.
“No, but the content. It wasn’t even the hacking, it was the content,” Van Susteren said.
The senator wasn’t asked specifically about what consequence DNC employees should face, and volunteered that “they should all be fired.” McCaskill did not say whether only employees involved in offensive emails belittling reporters and Republicans should be fired or if everyone should be for colluding with Clinton.
