I think the interviewer wanted to push Tyson s buttons on national TV.

Not to be treated as a celebrity.

about Tyson's rape conviction possibly hurting the candidate's image. I think that is a good question. Do you think that isn't a good question, and if so, why?

Tyson served his time. Bringing up a 23 year old conviction is really poking a hornet's nest.

He wanted to do bodily harm to the interviewer.Mike still has serious anger management problems
