Veterans speaking out about U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl are part of a “PR campaign by Republicans,” Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said Sunday.
CNN “State of the Union” panel member Ana Navarro disagreed, saying “unit member after unit member after unit member had come out with a very consistent story” about Bergdahl, and they were outraged and offended by his actions.
“Ana, this is a PR campaign by Republican professionals,” said Brazile, who managed former Vice President Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign.
When Navarro told Brazile not to discredit the soldiers who had served their country honorably, Brazile said that as the daughter of a Korean War veteran, she would never discredit a soldier. But she continued to discredit Republicans and their treatment of the president.
“That’s all they do,” she said. “All they do is focus their vitriol, their rage against this president. If the president this morning had scrambled eggs and bacon, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast. If the president had cereal and fruit, they’d say that’s an unhealthy breakfast.”
Brazile doubled down on the accusations later in the day with this tweet:
A Republican PR firm has been publicizing accounts that Bergdahl might have gone AWOL just to make the President look bad.

She received similar responses that she received earlier on CNN, including these tweets:
@donnabrazile Ms. Brazile, with all due respect, he doesn’t need help looking bad. — Doc Holiday (@Porterhouse1953) June 8, 2014
@donnabrazile Sorry you are unfamiliar with the timeline. The PR firm stepped in when the left fragged Bergdahl’s troop mates. — Melissa Moore (@melissamoore) June 8, 2014
.@donnabrazile The United States Army and the Pentagon are both Republican PR firms?

@redsteeze @donnabrazile don’t forget those Afghan villagers who recalled Bergdahl asking for the Taliban. Which white-shoe firm is their’s?

Who? @donnabrazile Name names or turn off your bumper sticker machine. Obama’s situation is self-inflicted. @redsteeze

Then there was this tweet, which summarized it all:
@donnabrazile I’m pretty sure the President did a good enough job himself looking bad with the VA. But thank you for playing today! #Fail
