Christine O’Donnell On CNN Walk Off: Piers Morgan ‘Would Not Stop Talking About Sex’

Former Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell says she didn’t walk off an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan Wednesday because of a question on gay marriage–she says it was a series of questions about her past statements on sex that made her uncomfortable. “Well first of all I want to set the record straight, it wasn’t the question on gay marriage,” she told Steve Chenevey on WTTG-TV in Washington, DC. “He had a decidedly inappropriate line of questions leading up to that, that many people – bloggers, are saying was just border-line creepy.”

“And, I’m trying to move away from it, you know, I’m not a 20-year-old on MTV right now, so let’s get back to the political issues that I lay out in the book – and he wouldn’t let up,” she said, in the first interview she’s had since the walk-off. “I was not there to talk about sex – and he would not stop trying to talk about sex,” she said.
