Trump is walking all over Kaitlan Collins. She's barely getting a word in edgewise.

He's playing to the sympathetic audience, and they're laughing and applauding.

It's a travesty. This might as well be Newsmax or OANN.

I wasn't going to watch, decided to watch just the first few minutes, ended up watching 25 because I couldn't believe what he was allowed to get away with.

It's no different than every other time he's been on TV. He made the debates a clusterfuck in both 2016 and 2020.

His tactics haven't changed. He just talks over them or interrupts them. I only saw a few minutes; she was really trying to contradict his responses, but he just drowns her out and then calls her "nasty". The only time he doesn't pull this crap is when he is under oath.

What a horrible human being.

I guess that her work at The Daily Caller (founded by Tucker Carlson) taught her a lot.

I hope CNN takes a big hit for this, but probably not. I hope Carroll's lawyers are watching.

The Maga's won't like that she kept trying to interrupt him and appeared disrespectful and those on the left who weren't familiar with her right wing history before this will roll their eyes for her being a stooge for letting this go on

It's my understanding she personally lobbied Trump for months to do this show. She has watched him professionally as a White House correspondent and may have thought knowing him would give her some sort of privilege or edge...(IDK) She should have known better.

And their inability to change them? Never give a sucker an even break? Foolish networks and their money are soon parted? There are suckers born every minute?
