'About to cut my mic': Frustrated CNN host told to end segment amid fight with GOP guest
Raw StoryCNN's Kate Bolduan clashed with a conservative commentator over the role of experts in government. More than 75 past Nobel Prize winners sent an open letter Monday to the U.S. Senate opposing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, saying his lack of credentials and unconventional views on medical science "would put the public's health in jeopardy." Bolduan cut him off, saying that Kennedy and other vaccine skeptics were putting American children at risk, and Singleton argued that scientific experts got some things wrong during the coronavirus pandemic. "You can ask lots of questions, and questioning Covid lockdowns is one thing," Bolduan said. "These things, these are like apples and oranges, like questioning Covid lockdowns and saying, but, like, that's a good question to have," Bolduan said, as a producer urged her to end the segment for a commercial break.
