The co-hosts of ABC’s “The View” are giddy over CNN’s handling of an interview with a press secretary for former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
On Monday, the panel discussed CNN journalist Kasie Hunt’s decision to abruptly end the interview after Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt used the time to attack the moderators of the upcoming presidential debate hosted by the network.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg flashed a toothy smile at the camera after the showing the exchange and said, “That was so good!”
Co-host Sara Haines pointed out it is not too unusual too at least to threaten to cut off an interview if someone is trying to change the topic and not address the questions being asked.
Conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued Leavitt’s performance “underscored a stunning lack of message discipline.”
“You are a campaign spokesperson. You should be there to talk about what’s Donald Trump’s proactive agenda for the American people? How does he want to build the middle class or secure the border? But she can’t. It’s grievance. It’s rage. It’s retribution. It’s the same thing that he suffers from,” Griffin said. And honestly, this may be hard for us to believe there are undecided voters who watch CNN. These are people who are going to determine this election. You’re not winning any of them over by going after one of their most popular anchors repeatedly and not focusing on what matters to the American people.”
