Trump Ruled Out This One Conservative Pundit as a Potential Debate Moderator

In that big Hugh Hewitt interview getting a lot of attention, Donald Trump also ruled out a conservative writer and pundit Hewitt proposed moderate one of the debates.

Hewitt threw out names of fair-minded people like Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper before name-dropping conservative CNN commentator Mary Katharine Ham.

Trump’s reaction to her minutes later was, “I’ve never gotten along with her, no.”

He said, “She is not a fan of mine, and I’ve never gotten along with her… She says only bad things, so let’s cross her name off.”

Ham was asked for her reaction on CNN this afternoon. She was mostly just amused.

You can listen to the full interview above (the relevant part starts at the 13:15 mark), via The Hugh Hewitt Show.
