- Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) criticized CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and her interview of former President Trump while appearing live on the network and refused to say that former President Trump lost the 2020 election.
- “Town halls are for the voters, not for the press or the person who is the moderator,” Donalds said. “Kaitlan spent more time interjecting her own viewpoints or her own views on the situation.”
- “Voters want to talk about the border, inflation, foreign policy,” Donalds said as the panel pressed him to say if he accepted the result of the 2020 election. “This is what’s frustrating to a lot of people. You want me to state it the way you want me to state it.”
