Left-wing host Margaret Brennan was forced to pivot during an interview on Sunday after a guest she demanded evidence from provided evidence that shut down her line of questioning.
The moment happened when Brennan interviewed Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
Mast said that he supported the “purging of people throughout the State Department” and “other agencies where we’re freezing aid,” which he said were “very important and necessary steps to make sure that we secure America.”
“You want to authorize purging of State Department personnel?” Brennan asked. “What does that mean exactly?”
“Well, if you want to take a look at the State Department, where DEI has been a priority over, let’s say, diplomacy, in many accounts, I can give you hundreds of examples of where they were authorizing–” Mast began to say before Brennan cut him off.
“What proof do you have of that?” she asked.
“Sure. Let’s list them off. Half a million dollars to expand atheism in Nepal, $50,000 to do, let’s see, a transgender opera in Colombia,” he said. “$47,000 to do an LGBTQ trans comic book in Peru. $20,000 a pop to do drag shows in Ecuador. Shall I continue with more examples of where DEI was the priority?”
Brennan responded by saying that the government could just have “a review of things” and that foreign aid only comprised “less than 1% of the entire federal budget.”
“So we’re talking small amounts of money by comparison,” she claimed.
