Triggered Arizona Republican Senator Martha McSally Calls CNN’s Manu Raju “A Liberal Hack”
Apparently that was a touchy subject for McSally, who responded with the brickbat. The full exchange:Raju: Senator McSally, should the Senate consider new evidence as part of the impeachment trial?Raju: You’re not going to comment about this?Raju got a more considered reply when he asked Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue the same question. “Absolutely not…Because that’s not our job,” Perdue said, before calling the two articles of impeachment “very weak.
Raju tweeted about the encounter. “Sen. Martha McSally, a Republican facing a difficult election race, lashed out when I asked if she would consider new evidence as part of the Senate trial. ‘You’re a liberal hack – I’m not talking to you. You’re a liberal hack.’ She then walked into a hearing room.”CNN anchor Jake Tapper came to his colleague’s defense, tweeting, “The question was perfectly reasonable and topical, politely asked, and Manu is respected on the Hill by Democrats and Republicans.
Tapper later tweeted that he’d contacted a family member of the late Sen. John McCain , and was told “There’s no love lost between our family and her.” The CNN anchor then tweeted, “Among other slights, McSally didn’t mention McCain during the signing of the defense bill named after McCain while he was on his death bed.”
Axios reporter Jonathan Swan also joined in. “I almost never weigh in on this type of nonsense because I think it’s dumb for reporters to take the bait,” Swan tweeted. “Politicians want these clips to go viral. But Manu is one of the better and harder working reporters on Capitol Hill.”Sen. Martha McSally, a Republican facing a difficult election race, lashed out when I asked if she would consider new evidence as part of the Senate trial. “You’re a liberal hack – I’m not talking to you.
