CNN anchor kasie hunt was put directly on the spot after she criticized the focus on the former president donald trump being labeled a “fascist” by his top former aides, when a panelist bluntly asked him if he thinks they are wrong.

Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly Trump’s national security officials began breaching levees: former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marcos Milley and former Trump Secretary of Defense Mark Esper among them, agreeing that Trump is a fascist. In an interview, Vice President Kamala Harris was asked if she agreed with them, and she responded affirmatively.

on thursday edition of CNN this morningHunt suggested that the vice president’s final message that Trump is “dangerous” conflicts with the senator. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) campaign for re-election, and Woodhouse put her on the spot by asking: “No you Do you think Donald Trump is dangerous?

Hunt was taken aback and laughed at the question, but then seemed to acknowledge that there are “reasons” to believe that:

BRAD WOODHOUSE: There’s nothing new about that. There is nothing. You know, Kamala Harris is reaching out to Republicans. Kamala Harris is approaching.

KASIE HUNT: Well, it’s novel when you have supporters at the top calling their opponent a fascist, I mean, the disparity is…

BRAD WOODHOUSE: Let’s remember the promotion here? You are not running a single ad in this country calling Donald Trump a fascist. He was asked a question on a news program. And, of course.

KASIE HUNT: Sure, but she’s dangerous in the final message of the ad. (CROSSTALK) You cannot use the word “fascist”–

BRAD WOODHOUSE: I mean, January 6, Kasie! Don’t you think? No you Do you think Donald Trump is dangerous?

KASIE HUNT: No… That’s not the point I’m making… (LAUGHTER0

BRAD WOODHOUSE: But no, but no one is running a campaign calling out Donald Trump…

KASIE HUNT: Baldwin says good things about Donald Trump, while those at the top say he’s dangerous, for the reasons you described.

BRAD WOODHOUSE: She didn’t say that. She didn’t say anything good about Donald Trump (CROSSTALK), the ad said he signed her bill. That’s a compliment to her, not him.
