It’s not too typically GOP lawmaker seems on CNN or MSNBC. So it was a little bit of a shock to see New York Freshman congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis seem on Erin Burnett’s CNN present.
Malliotakis got here on to speak about her hopes to work with Democrats in a bi-partisan method. This got here off as disingenuous, although, because the New York Rep. challenged the election outcomes on January sixth.
Burnett hit her on that hypocrisy asking, “Congresswoman, in fact you probably did object to the leads to Arizona and Pennsylvania as Congress was certifying them on the day of the lethal revolt. So how do you sq. saying you wish to work with President Biden, once you have been questioning the legitimacy of the election on January sixth?”
Malliotakis responded, “Definitely constituents of mine expressed considerations about irregularities,” and later mentioned, “I believe that there’s a difficulty that there are tens of tens of millions of Individuals who’re involved about whether or not there are safeguards in our election course of.”
“They’re involved due to lies like that,” Burnett shot back. “We’re involved due to lies like that. That could be a lie. They heard that. If I heard that and believed it, I could be involved, too. Nevertheless it’s not true.”
Burnett closed the section by mockingly asking, “As a result of the explanation they consider it wasn’t truthful is as a result of somebody informed them it wasn’t truthful, and it was truthful. So what I’m asking you, do you’re feeling that you just acquired duped and performed slightly bit on this?”
