Florida Rep. Byron Donalds (R) took on a whole CNN reaction panel trying to spin former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump’s Town Hall appearance into a disaster.
Donalds objected to the panel’s representation of the night and wouldn’t let them silence him.
“Town halls are for the voters, not for the press or the person who is the moderator,” Donalds said, slamming CNN host Kaitlan Collins for imposing her own views.
“Kaitlan spent more time interjecting her own viewpoints or her own views on the situation,” Donalds said before Cooper interrupted him. “Those are actually facts though,” Cooper said.
“Hold on,” Donalds shot back, “are you guys now going to interject your views on me, or do I get a chance to speak?” Donalds said as Cooper continued to speak in the background.
“If you’re speaking falsely, those are facts,” Cooper told Donalds.
From Fox News:
Donalds also criticized Collins’ focus on the Jan. 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol and Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was “rigged.”
“Voters want to talk about the border, inflation, foreign policy,” Donalds said as multiple CNN panelists asked if he believed the 2020 presidential election was legitimate.
“This is what’s frustrating to a lot of people. You want me to state it the way you want me to state it,” Donalds said.
“Most voters are frankly kind of tired of y’all,” Donalds also told the CNN panel, arguing that American voters were more interested in inflation and crime than on the 2020 election.
Donalds’ wife, Erika, was proud of her husband’s performance.
So proud of my husband on @CNN tonight, interjecting large doses of TRUTH in the middle of their ridiculous biases and rude interruptions. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/vJHOkgYThJ
