The host, filled with passion and conviction was very devoted and using the overwhelming evidence against Trump she succeeded to absolutely dismantle his arguments, presenting the electoral process being reliable and Joe Biden the legitimacy of his presidency.
The host's blistering takedown of Trump's election claims struck a nerve, prompting an immediate and forceful response from the former president. In a series of tweets and public statements, Trump lashed out at the host and CNN, accusing them of bias and dishonesty and doubling down on his allegations of election fraud.
