MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle claimed in a video posted to social media Monday night that it was easier to request an interview from President-elect Donald Trump than from President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris.

Ruhle said she called Trump directly after his Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden, which was notable for statements he and other speakers made, including a new tax break proposal for caregivers and a joke about Puerto Rico made by stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. Ruhle claimed she called Trump directly on his phone to make the interview request.

WATCH:

“I wasn’t calling to chit-chat. I said, ‘Mr. President, this is Stephanie Ruhle, you made a lot of comments last night,’ blah-blah-blah. It was not an on-the-record conversation, so I’m not going to get into what he said, but I called for one reason,” Ruhle claimed. “I said, ‘You just said a whole bunch of public things. I’d like to sit down for an interview with you. We’ve got five days before the election.’ So we didn’t get anything, there’s nothing for me to report. I called, I said I want an interview. Obviously, he said no.”

“But my point is, I was able to get to him by dialing his phone. Now that might be completely apeshit and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe people know this guy’s phone number,’ but the reverse of that, if I were to want to connect with VP Harris or President Biden, there’s 50 people between me and that,” Ruhle continued. “I could write a note that maybe could get to somebody to get somebody, then through Pony Express and a pigeon something might end up in a mailbox near them. And I called DJT to say, ‘Yo, can I get an interview?’ and he told me to go fuck myself, but I still was able to connect with him. Yeah.”

Harris rarely did interviews after President Biden announced he would not seek reelection July 21 until doing a media blitz in October. Ruhle previously defended Harris’ refusal to go into details during a Sept. 20 panel discussion on “Real Time with Bill Maher” and in a “Morning Joe” appearance the day after she aired an interview with the vice president.

Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Ruhle’s claim she called him directly from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
