NEW YORK — Former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell said Thursday that she has no hard feelings toward CNN’s Piers Morgan after walking off his show but has declined an invitation to return.
The Delaware Republican, invited to appear on Morgan’s prime-time show Wednesday to promote her new book, became angry after Morgan asked whether she supported same-sex marriage. She said he was “borderline being a bit rude” and said she wanted to talk about topics in the book, “Troublemaker: Let’s Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again.”
Morgan pressed on, asking her what she felt about the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gays and lesbians in the U.S. military, and O’Donnell didn’t want to talk about it.
Someone said off-camera to O’Donnell that it was “time to go,” and she took off her microphone and left. Morgan later said it was his first walk-out in 25 years of conducting interviews. The Associated Press
