But why did Ms. Kelly almost give herself a hernia trying to cover for Obozo and trying to talk Giuliani out of it?
She was asking the questions so Rudy could give the answers he wanted heard. Some call it “Devils advocate”. Others refer to it as presenting the legal platform. Think attorney questioning a witness. They ask the questions to make a point
That is puzzling, and a few ideas have been expressed on this thread. Some think she was being a devil's advocate, others think she was just trying to ask questions to help Rudy get more of his opinion out.
To me, it seemed she was defensive and to some extent, offended with Rudy's opinion. She would not engage his direct question about Wright's church "What would you have done?", and after stumbling, she said, this is not about me, which I thought was her producer saying it in her earpiece.
I am just thankful that Rudy did not back off or apologize for his stance. Wish we could see more of that.
