'Actually, congressman': CNN's Kaitlan Collins interrupts GOP lawmaker on air
Raw StoryCNN's Kaitlan Collins cut off a congressman while he was in mid-sentence to correct him on-air as he was knocking his Democratic colleagues across the aisle. The anchor of "The Source" welcomed Rep. Tim Burchett to understand from him why the House Republicans' effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was brought to the floor when they didn't have the votes — being the final tally was 214-216. "Republicans generally don't use the carrot or the stick like the Democrats have done in the past." But Burchett didn't hear her yet, saying: "And frankly I just —" Collins continued, "Congressman, I want to hear your answer, and I like to let people talk when they're a guest on this show, but I do have to say there were reports that people were going up to Congressman Mike Gallagher after he had voted against impeachment." "I suspect we'll be coming back next week and you'll probably see a different outcome."
