Fox News contributor Donna Brazile scolded President Trump after he criticized Fox News for hiring her despite her past scandal.
Brazile, who had been the Democratic National Committee Interim chairwoman and a CNN contributor in 2016, was caught leaking questions to Hillary Clinton’s campaign before a CNN debate and town hall. The scandal led her to leave the network.
Fox News signed Brazile as a contributor this year.
Trump tweeted on Sunday, “So @donnabrazile gives Crooked Hillary the Questions, and now she’s on @FoxNews!”

He also criticized Fox News show MediaBuzz and said the network is not “what it used to be.”

In response, Brazile told Trump to “Focus on your job! Try to bring out the best in others and repent when you make mistakes. Seek forgiveness & strive for excellence.”
Mr President, you represent over 320 million ppl. Focus on your job! Try to bring out the best in others and repent when you make mistakes. Seek forgiveness & strive for excellence.

She further tweeted, that Trump “needs to keep his eyes on the prize at the #G7Summit. Have a successful meeting. Safe travels and don’t forget that praying for ppl who despise you is the only path to healing wounds. Bless you.”
