Wolf Blitzer Pushes Back After Bob Corker Vents About Interview: I’m Asking You Fair Questions

In the wake of his GOP tax vote reversal, it seems Bob Corker has found himself in a situation he’d rather not be in, specifically The Situation Room.

Wolf Blitzer grilled the Tennessee Senator Tuesday over his decision to vote yes on the latest GOP tax bill and over the latest controversies regarding last minute additions to the bill that appear to benefit him financially.

“I don’t really know, Wolf, what it is you’re getting at,” he told Blitzer. “What are you trying to say here?”

Corker added that he’s being “maligned” with “malicious stuff” that’s been disproven.

Things went off the rails towards the end of the interview when Corker became agitated over some of the questioning:

“I don’t appreciate the front end of this interview. You and I had a conversation about this yesterday on the phone and you know that all of these things are totally malicious. They’re not true and you know that and people in the press that are responsible know that and I’m disappointed that you chose this opportunity to do what you did.”

Corker concluded his bizarre rant for Blitzer, looking more upset than before. “Is there anything else that you would like for me to talk with you about?” he asked.

Blitzer then praised the senator for coming on his show and answering the hard hitting questions, but not before he added, “This is not fun. These are critically important issues. You are a United States Senator… I’m asking you questions that are legitimate, fair questions, sir.”
