Sen. Martha McSally Won't Apologize To CNN's Manu Raju: 'Called It Like It Is'

Various media organizations are calling out Sen. Martha McSally for slurring CNN reporter Manu Raju’s professionalism on Thursday by calling him “a liberal hack.”

But don’t expect an apology from the Arizona Republican, who told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night that she just “called it like it is.” Raju had simply asked McSally if she thought the Senate should consider new evidence in the pending impeachment trial.

On Friday, the National Press Club and the National Press Club Journalism Institute released a joint statement in response to McSally’s hack attack:

“Manu Raju is a consummate professional who is respected by his journalistic peers and the people he covers, politics notwithstanding. Stating the contrary is factually and ethically wrong.”

McSally is such a snowflake.

She's using it in her campaign advertising. Raju just happened to be the reporter of the moment... she was going to spring that on ANYBODY not Fox as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

I’ve had enough of the media’s political smears and I’m not afraid to push back.

If you have too, help me amplify my message and hold liberal media hacks accountable -->

`saw the rest of the interview with McSally... and right after McSally said her bit about CNN and "liberal hack" Laura asked her "so, I will ask the question that Manu asked you... and you can call me a conservative hack if you like... but answer the question" (I am paraphrasing here, but this is close).

It completely caught McSally off guard and she fumbled around and stuttered... and the look on her face was priceless.
