A political commentator mocked a MAGA TV host for having a complete meltdown after being fact-checked on air.
David Pakman, host of the liberal news commentary show, “The David Pakman Show,” said in a new video that MAGA CNBC host Joe Kernan got “dogwalked” by Democrat Pete Buttigieg during an interview on Monday. Buttigieg fact-checked Kernan on a couple of claims he made about the economy during the Biden administration, which caused Kernan to lose his cool.
“It takes two to tango … On the one hand, Pete Buttigieg is really good at this stuff. On the other hand, Joe Kernan, who has come after me on Twitter and is just a triggerly guy overall, is not well-suited to remaining calm when he’s getting dogwalked by Pete,” Pakman said.
In one exchange, Buttigieg said he doesn’t see an “obvious” way out of the war in Iran, which has caused global energy prices to skyrocket since the skirmish began about six weeks ago. Rising energy prices have also driven consumer prices to the highest point in two years, according to the latest economic data.
Kernan claimed that Trump’s economy is doing better than Biden’s because inflation is lower. Buttigieg reminded Kernan that the latest data show prices increased by 3.3% year-over-year, compared with the 2.9% inflation rate under the Biden administration.
“He said on day one it would go down, and he came in, and now it’s up,” Buttigieg said.
Kerner lost his cool and continuously interrupted Buttigieg during the segment.
“This is not a debate in any sense of the word,” Pakman said. “When one person loses control of their ability to think and their ability to remain calm, this is what it looks like.”
