Longtime Democratic operative Donna Brazile being named interim head of the Democratic National Committee on Sunday following the ouster of chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz amid the DNC e-mail scandal created some awkward moments for CNN and ABC. Hosts on both networks had to explain that Brazile was stepping down as a political analyst as she took over the new partisan position.
On Monday, the development produced a particularly extraordinary scene on ABC’s Good Morning America, as co-host and former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos had to reintroduce Brazile to viewers: “There's Donna Brazile right there. All of you at home know her as one of our ABC analysts, but today you stepped aside from that you’re here as the interim chair of the DNC.”
