'Russia invaded Ukraine': CNN host cuts off GOP lawmaker's attack on Biden
July 16, 2024
In the midst of a softball interview conducted at the Republican National Convention with Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), CNN's Kate Bolduan had to pull the GOP lawmaker up short as he went on a rant about President Joe Biden.
Speaking before the GOP's proceedings restarted, Emmer boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump and his heir apparent, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) before turning the conversation to Biden who is expected to be the Democratic nominee.
When the talk turned to U.S. support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, the CNN host felt compelled to interrupt after she mentioned Vance's opposition to supporting the embattled nation.
Pointing out that Vance is one of the "most vocal critics of U.S. support for Ukraine, Bolduan asked, "Looking forward, if former president Trump wins again, is future support for Ukraine in serious question?"
"Actually, back it up just a little bit," Emmer protested. "First off, I might not have chosen the word 'provoked,' but the Biden administration and Joe Biden's feckless, aimless, 'I don't want to provoke anything' policy that showed a sign of weakness just opened the door for Putin to say we're going."
"There's something really important," he began as Bolduan cut him off with, "Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014. I mean, y'know..."
"I understand that" Emmer parried. "But I'm talking about most recently."
