Failed Republican Senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell said Thursday that she walked out of an interview on Wednesdasy with CNN’s Piers Morgan because he “would not stop trying to talk about sex.”
“I want to set the record straight, it wasn’t the question on gay marriage,” O’Donnell told Washington D.C.’s Fox 5.
“He had a decidedly inappropriate line of questions leading up to that, that many people — bloggers, are saying was just border-line creepy,” she said. “I was not there to talk about sex — and he would not stop trying to talk about sex.”
“And, I’m trying to move away from it, you know, I’m not a 20-year-old on MTV right now, so let’s get back to the political issues that I lay out in the book – and he wouldn’t let up,” O’Donnell said.
O’Donnell said she was over her time limit and “already late for a Republican women’s event that was being covered by C-SPAN.” She said she handled it the right way.
“What could you do? He’s not ending it, we’re late, we’re over time, what do you do when you’re tethered to a chair with a microphone and people are waiting for you? We’re on a very tight schedule,” she said. “I wish him well – he’s a cheeky bugger – I wish him well.”
O’Donnell also hung up during a radio interview with a station in Salt Lake City, Amanda Terkel reports. The Tea Party favorite is making the media rounds to promote her new book “Troublemaker.”
