EXCERPT:
BRZEZINSKI: "You know, in this election year when so many women won races, it is a woman who lost. Arizona Republican Martha McSally, you saw her right there, who is setting a far better example for our daughters and sons than some of the GOP men who will likely win their races. Yesterday McSally, a congresswoman and retired Air Force Colonel, gracefully conceded in defeat to Democratic congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat. Republicans in Washington urged McSally to continue to churn up conspiracy theories and contest the results, but McSally put aside partisanship and personal ambition to give the people of her state what they need: A clear result that everyone can have confidence in. Contrast that graceful behavior with the shameful rhetoric of Rick Scott in Florida, who is in his own contested Senate race, throwing out baseless allegations of fraud and crime and trying to squelch a full and fair count of the vote. In defeat, McSally showed class and dignity, allowing voters of all stripes a chance to believe again in the character of our leaders and to have faith in our democratic system. Unlike the President and Rick Scott, she puts America first and shows us all true character on one of the toughest nights of her life. What a great example for all of us as we get through this strange and difficult time."
