CNN Host Visibly Exasperated by GOP Rep’s Defense of Migrant Conspiracies
GOP Rep. Tom Emmer refused to directly address JD Vance’s unfounded conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants in Ohio when asked multiple times Monday morning on CNN, leaving anchor Kate Bolduan exasperated by the exchange.
Bolduan called the Minnesota congressman’s attention to how Vance admitted over the weekend that he had no issue repeating the false story about immigrants in his state supposedly eating pets—despite Ohio’s Republican governor calling the conspiracies harmful and “disgusting.”
“Does this continued focus and digging in by your candidates create a problem for you guys down ballot?” Bolduan asked.
