Jake Tapper Ends Peter Navarro Interview When He Refuses To Say Why Trump Lied About COVID

NAVARRO: … you guys — that — that — you’re wrong. You’re not honest with the American people. CNN is not honest with the American people.

TAPPER: OK.

NAVARRO: CNN…

TAPPER: OK.

NAVARRO: You — you want to go there?

I mean, CNN — we can do that.

TAPPER: I said, you’re not answering the question.

NAVARRO: I have answered your question. I have answered your question.

TAPPER: Here’s the thing.

Thank you, Peter Navarro.

We just played tape. You didn’t answer — you didn’t answer the question.

NAVARRO: I have answered — no, you can’t say that.

TAPPER: You didn’t answer the question. No, you didn’t.

NAVARRO: I answered the question repeatedly, Jake. You just didn’t like the answer.

TAPPER: OK, Peter Navarro, thank you so much. I appreciate your time today. Thank you so much.

NAVARRO: You didn’t like the answer.

TAPPER: And I would just like to remind the American people watching…

NAVARRO: I answered the question. I am reminding…

TAPPER: … that the United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population, and the United States has more than 20 percent of the world’s coronavirus deaths. That is a fact.
