'Let me finish!' Kevin McCarthy snaps at CNN's Manu Raju when confronted with Trump smears

A combative Kevin McCarthy continued to talk over CNN host Manu Raju on Sunday morning multiple times when confronted with Donald Trump's attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris and immigrants living in the United States,

The "Inside Politics" segment got off to an awkward start when CNN's Raju pointed out it is the one-year anniversary of the former House speaker's ouster which led him to eventually leave Congress.

What followed was Raju repeatedly attempting to get the California Republican to address Donald Trump calling Harris a "mentally disabled person" during a speech in Wisconsin on Saturday, only to have McCarthy blow off the questions with multiple rants about 425,000 illegal immigrants allegedly living in the U.S.

When Pressed over Trump and running mate J.D. Vance's smears of Haitian immigrants eating people's pets in Ohio, McCarthy again deflected when asked if Trump should admit he was wrong.

"I would continue to lay out the facts," McCarthy parried.

"There are no facts, " Raju interjected.

"Let me finish my sentence, I appreciate your engagement, "McCarthy replied. "When you ask a question, let me finish."

"Sure," the CNN host replied only to have McCarthy once again repeat his claim about the 425,000 immigrants in the country "illegally" without addressing the beleaguered Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

"That's not what the Haitian migrants ––," Raju interrupted.

"I know what you're talking about, but I'm trying to make a point here!" McCarthy snapped. "Because you want to pick one specific issue, you want to know why people are upset."
