Saturday, January 13, 2024 – CNN host Kate Bolduan became visibly annoyed on live TV and called out US Lawmaker, Rep. Thomas Massie, (R-Ky.) on Friday for suggesting that she had not thoroughly prepared for their interview.
During an appearance on "CNN News Central," Massie
was asked about his past criticism of Nikki Haley after the presidential
candidate on Wednesday claimed Massie was "the most anti-Israel
Republican" in Congress.
Kate Bolduan then referenced a pro-Israel resolution that
Massie voted against. The "Reaffirming the State of Israel's right to
exist" resolution, in part, "rejects calls" for the destruction
of Israel and condemns attacks by Hamas against the Jewish state.
"Recognizing that denying Israel's right to exist is a
form of antisemitism. You do not support —," Bolduan said before Massie
cut her off.
Massie interjected; "That's the name of the resolution;
congratulations, you're able to read the name of the resolution. I don't vote
on the names,"
"Oh, congressman, I don't think you're trying to
question my intelligence now, are you?" Bolduan replied.
Massie in response, denied Bolduan's assertion and
said was merely saying she did not have time to prepare for the interview like
he did.
"Do you mean the two pages that I read in two minutes
this morning and highlighted? The 'Resolved that the House of
Representatives…?" Bolduan said.
"Yeah, it took two minutes," Massie said before
chuckling.
Massie's comments appeared to surprise Bolduan, who replied
with a short "Oh." He then continued to criticize Bolduan's interview
preparation.
"Good for you, you took minutes. There have been 19
resolutions. I know what's in all of them. I studied them," Massie
continued. "I say right on social media, if you've done a little more
research, you wouldn't have to ask me if I acknowledge Israel's right to exist.
It's right there on my social media."
She then said that given his comments on social media and
the resolution's content, the question was worth re-asking.
Bolduan added that the network would continue to do more
research but did not appreciate "when someone even suggests or insinuates
that I'm not prepared."
Getting in one last dig, Massie said, "You did some
research."
Co-anchor Sara Sidner smirked as Bolduan tossed to her after
the interview, saying, "That was enlightening."..
