Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., said Thursday evening she does not owe a CNN congressional reporter an apology for rebuffing his question and calling him a "liberal hack" -- after one of the network's veteran anchors said it would be appropriate to do so.
McSally was walking toward a room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building when she encountered reporter Manu Raju. Raju asked McSally if she and other senators should "consider new evidence" in President Trump's impeachment trial. The senator responded by saying she would not entertain the question, calling Raju a "liberal hack."
Later on CNN, journalists Jake Tapper and Dana Bash defended Raju, and anchor Wolf Blitzer interviewed the reporter about the interaction.

Will be a total shame if Kelly beats her in the next election. I can’t imagine Arizona having two D Senators...
Shut up Wolf......you liberal hack.
DNCNN should apologize to America.
McSally is obviously trying to polish her conservative bonafides. You know, it just might work.
Good for her!
If Senator McSally hopes to get re-elected in November, she should continue to think like the bull Colonel fighter pilot she once was!
Take the gloves off, Senator, and givemeHell!
Never apologize to the marxists.
I love it!
Never, as in NEVER, apologize for speaking the truth!
OK! She’s sorry Manu is a Liberal hack!
I am liking McSally today.
If she stays strong, she may win with a sizable percentage.
CNN navel-gazing...
Yes. The truth should always be apologized for.
You do need a tag, but I have one left over from a hunting trip to BC a few years ago. It would be good enough for me.
It’s also worth noting that then-Lt. Col. Martha McSally sued the USDOD to prevent them from ordering her to wear Islamic garb in Saudi. Amazingly, almost the entire Senate and House backed her up!

Boy of boy is YouTube a liberal bastion. Check the comments. They’ve obviously been culled.
The comments at r/The_Donald will cheer you up.

Amazingly, you'll find people on Free Republic who think this should be held against her when she runs for office and actively campaign against her because they perceive her as a liberal feminist.
Then they’re idiots on this issue, I’m sorry to say.
By apologizing she gives them respect they don’t deserve.
McSally should double down like Trump does.
