‘We Want The Truth’: Jim Acosta Constantly Interrupts Guest Trying To Explain Trump’s Abortion Position

CNN anchor Jim Acosta on Wednesday persistently prevented guest Bryan Lanza from answering his question about former President Donald Trump’s abortion stance.

Trump, during the Tuesday night ABC News debate, did not commit to vetoing a national abortion ban if reelected, but said he would not sign a federal prohibition on the procedure. Acosta questioned Lanza, a former Trump campaign deputy communications director, on “CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta” about the former president’s position, but cut him off multiple times and accused him of not telling “the truth.”

“Bryan … I did want to ask you about that because Trump called his answer on abortion ‘perfect.’ But when moderators pressed him on whether he would veto a national abortion ban, he refused to answer,” Acosta said.

Lanza said he believes Trump has already asserted he would not sign a national abortion ban, but Acosta interrupted his answer as he attempted to discuss the former president’s debate remarks. The CNN anchor repeated his assertion that Trump did not answer whether he would veto a national abortion ban during the debate.

“I was answering the question, Jim. Thank you for giving me the opportunity,” Lanza said before Acosta cut him off again, saying, “Well, if you’re not going to answer the question, I am going to jump in, Bryan.”

“I’m about to answer the question but you keep on jumping. When I say I’m about to answer the question, that’s the time you let me answer the question,” Lanza retorted. “As I was saying and trying to answer your deeply thought out question, I think what he was trying to say last night and I think what he has said is, like, listen, he goes, ‘The country does not support late-term abortion. I think 91% of the country feels late-term abortion is a horrific thing.”
