Scarborough cuts off Trump
Joe Scarborough cut off Donald Trump during a live interview on Tuesday, accusing the GOP presidential candidate of not answering questions.
“All right, Donald,” Scarborough, the host of “Morning Joe,” interjected as Trump offered a lengthy answer to co-host Mika Brzezinski.
{mosads}”You’ve got to let us ask questions, you can’t just talk,” Scarborough said to Trump, who had called into the set for the interview.
“Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, Donald, you’re not going to keep talking. We will go to break if you keep talking. We’re gonna ask you questions,” Scarborough said.
“Go to break, then, Joe,” Trump responded.
Scarborough, visibly perturbed, immediately instructed producers to cut to commercials as Brzezinski looked on.
Trump stayed on the line and the interview continued after a short break.
Trump prefers to call in for multiple television programs instead of appearing in person.
On Tuesday, he called into “Morning Joe,” ABC’s “Good Morning America” and CNN’s “New Day” to defend his proposal to bar all Muslims, except U.S. citizens living abroad, from entering the U.S.
