Burnett aired a supercut of Santos’ lies, from his false claims about his household background and schooling to his profession and sporting prowess.
The “Outfront” anchor then requested Santos to elucidate why he’d mentioned them.
“Erin, what could be nice? I’m not deflecting,” Santos started.
Then got here the deflection.
“However I’m simply going to name you out right here and CNN. Have you ever introduced Joe Biden on the community and spoken about all of the issues he’s mentioned throughout the final 46 years as a result of I haven’t seen it?” he requested.
Biden is “fully irrelevant” to the query, mentioned Burnett.
Burnett then countered Santos’ suggestion that he’d been introduced on the air to speak solely about Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) name for an impeachment inquiry in opposition to Biden. She reminded Santos that he’d been advised he’d face questions on plenty of subjects. “You have been effectively conscious of that and it could be unfair to say something in any other case,” she added.
