2. Hill said it was not her call and she was OK with whatever the DNC did - but noted that
the credentials committee would rule no matter what.

Hill seems to be pushing no specific solution and opposing no suggested solution.

3. Not true. She says no caucus in MI, no new primary in FL.

""On a "do-over" in Florida and Michigan, which held nominating contests that broke Democratic Party rules

I would not accept a caucus. I think that would be a great disservice to the 2 million people who turned out and voted. I think that they want their votes counted. And you know a lot of people would be disenfranchised because of the timing and whatever the particular rules were. This is really going to be a serious challenge for the Democratic Party because the voters in Michigan and Florida are the ones being hurt, and certainly with respect to Florida the Democrats were dragged into doing what they did by a Republican governor and a Republican Legislature. They didn't have any choice whatsoever. And I don't think that there should be any do-over or any kind of a second run in Florida. I think Florida should be seated."

4. That's completely incorrect.
She's spoken so strongly against a re-do that analysts suspect she'll go so far as to SUE to stop them.
