CNN’s Wolf Blitzer had very little patience when airing Donald Trump’s remarks at a rally in Tucson, Arizona on Thursday. Blitzer eventually cut out of Trump’s speech and said the former president was making “all sorts of very weird statements” before going to his panel to discuss the news of the day.
Ahead of Blitzer’s cut-in, Trump ripped into ABC News anchor and Tuesday night’s debate moderator David Muir:
She went over to ABC, which in my opinion, has taken a big hit because these two people were bad news. They kept screaming at me. I said, Why are you screaming? I’m saying to myself. I’m looking. I always liked him. I’m not going to watch him anymore. I’m not going to watch him because he’s not legit. What he did, I’m not going to watch him. And his hair’s not as good as it used to be, you know.
Trump then turned his vitriol to Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, “Kamala should focus on what she should have done during the last almost four-year period. She kept complaining. Well, you know, when I’m here and I’m going to do this and I’m going to do that. And at the end of this bed, I said, Why don’t you just do it? You could leave right now. Why don’t you do it?”
“I’m going to do this and then I’m going to do that and then I’m going to do this and that and that,” he continued doing a mock voice, adding:
Remember at the convention when she went out, they nominated her even though she got no votes. They nominated No, she came in last place in the primaries. Right. And then she got and then she said, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. No, she’s a threat. She is a threat to democracy. But you remember when she went out and she said, thank you. Do you remember that? It was the weirdest thing. Am I wrong? Because they were saying JD and I are weird. No, we’re very solid people. She’s weird. And that vice president of hers is really weird. He’s really.
Blitzer then cut in, saying, “All right. We’re going to continue to monitor Donald Trump. He’s speaking in Tucson, Arizona right now. Making all sorts of very weird statements, including that he had a monumental, his word, monumental victory over what he called Comrade Kamala Harris at the debate earlier this week. I want to bring in CNN’s Kristin Holmes. She’s in Los Angeles right now, where Trump will be holding a fundraiser later tonight. And CNN’s chief national affairs correspondent, Jeff Zeleny is back with us as well. Kristen, break down what Trump just said in Arizona, because he’s going on and on and on making up a lot of stuff.
Holmes replied, “Yeah. I mean, most of this is him trying to relitigate the entire debate. I mean, we’ve been hearing him now for something like 15 minutes, go through line by line, various attacks. But now he is in front of a very friendly audience who is cheering him on. As you said, he said he had a monumental victory. At one point, he said that they won with women and independents. Of course, as we know, our polling did not show that they have pointed, they the Trump campaign, to a number of conservative straw polls taken right after the debate. But as we have reported repeatedly, there were a lot of people who went into this debate knowing who they were going to vote for. So it’s not surprising that if you look at a conservative straw poll that conservatives would think Donald Trump won the debate.”
