CNN anchor Chris Wallace went hard at RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel over the bombshell tape of ex-President Donald Trump discussing military secrets, blocking several of her deflections.
On this week’s episodes of Wallace’s Max/CNN series Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, Wallace interviewed McDaniel, as well as Hollywood superstar Goldie Hawn.
In the McDaniel interview, Wallace played the tape, then asked the Republican chairwoman if it “troubles” her, then headed off a number of attempts to change the subject:
WALLACE: Does that tape trouble you?
MCDANIEL: What troubles me is the double standard and justice. I mean, Bill Barr, who I think we would both agree is not a Donald Trump fan at this point, has said there’s a two-tiered system of justice. I think he deserves a presumption of innocence. He has not made his case. I think we need to wait. But I do think as soon as Trump does something, it’s automatically he’s guilty if Biden does it, it’s automatically he’s innocent.
WALLACE: There are major differences between the two cases…without getting into the whatboutism game.
MCDANIEL: But that is the game. That is the game.
