'These are your own words!' CNN reporter grills GOP candidate over 'execute Obama' posts
Sparks flew this week when CNN correspondent Shimon Prokupecz caught up with far-right North Carolina superintendent candidate Michele Morrow, who refused to discuss any of her past controversial remarks on social media.
Morrow, a homeschooling advocate who defeated the Republican incumbent for the nomination in a surprise upset, has called for former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden to be executed, called public schools "indoctrination centers," promoted QAnon conspiracy theories, and suggested that China stationed troops in Canada to rig the 2020 presidential election — none of which she was willing to discuss with Prokupecz.
"I want to ask you ... do you still stand by your comments about former President Barack Obama and that he should be executed, calling for the death of of other presidents?" asked Prokupecz. "Do you stand by what you've said about the public education system and that needs to be destroyed? Do you stand by that? Do you understand the concern that people have with this nomination?"
--------------------------------
"But you have said such hurtful things in terms of transgender students," Prokupecz continued.
"I am so done with the gotcha moments," Morrow snapped.
"This is not a gotcha," said Prokupecz. "This is your own words, ma'am ... you have said that the former president—"
"How do you know?" she said.
"Because you tweeted — are those not your tweets?" Prokupecz said. "Do you deny saying that? You have an opportunity now. Do you deny saying that in those tweets?"
Morrow still refused to engage with the questions and only replied, "I am going to discuss education."

There were no answers.
Just her spouting her phony talking points.
Did CNN's reporter or the network expect her to retract or admit to her comments?
Of course not.
But, she did get all of her maga talking points in for CNN's audience.
Didn't mention those comments there would be the criticism that they ignore such egregious posts.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't
What did she think was going to happen when she Ran for PUBLIC Service in the PUBLIC schools.
She's an idiot and a loon.
Apologies to loons who are really quite lovely.
He did NOT let her off easily at all, he pushed and pushed, and he obviously made her very uncomfortable.
I hope this goes viral. Even though she escaped without answering his questions in the end, her behavior will look bad to anyone who isn't already a Moms for Liberty nut.
I REALLY hope she loses. She acted like no one has the right to care unless they live in NC, but I've got news: some of us care very much about ANY public school or school system ANYWHERE in this country falling under the control of a lunatic like her! 
Sick is what they are. Sick, warped, and twisted!
