but I couldn't disagree more in this case.

She's revealed herself both as temporary DNC head and now to be profoundly dishonorable, dishonest, and malicious. She damaged the DNC with her unethical behavior and she betrayed the trust she had accepted very venally and nastily.

We owe her nothing, what she owes us she can never repay, and she is also dead to me.
