Donna Brazile, the interim chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, is praying for divine intervention in the election.
During a series of tweets, she wrote “Please God, let this end soon.”
Her tweets arrived just two days after FBI Director James Comey announced, through a letter to Congress, that the bureau will reopen the investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.
Brazile even quoted Psalm 130:5 and accompanied it with a message urging constituents to get out to vote:
The new batch of emails were discovered by the FBI as part of its investigation into Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal, which was brought to national attention by the late Andrew Breitbart.
Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, Clinton’s right-hand woman and the vice chair of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Democratic political strategist Hilary Rosen responded, “just breath boo.”
Donald Trump supporters took the opportunity to unite in prayer with Brazile but to the opposite end, using the Republican presidential nominee’s new motto and hoping that his election will “drain the swamp” of corrupt politcians.
Several minutes after tweeting her prayers, Brazile also quoted President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe’s tweet, writing “Amen” in response to his attack on the FBI’s Comey as exhibiting “reckless irresponsibility” for reopening the FBI investigation into Clinton and suggesting she still has a solid path to 300 electoral votes to secure the November 8 election:
WikiLeaks emails have shown that Brazile had provided the Clinton campaign with a question ahead of a town hall event. Brazile denied this, in spite of information proving otherwise.
Julian Assange, who heads WikiLeaks, also sent out a tweet warning both Brazile and Clinton’s VP nominee Tim Kaine of an upcoming “surprise” they have in store for them. The election is just over one week away.
