Stelter to Barnette: Did You Regret Shutting out the Media? Why Didn’t You Answer Basic Questions?

‘I did not shut the media out of any event that I was in charge of’

EXCERPT:

BARNETTE: "Yeah, no, that's not true, Brian. I did not shut the media out of any event that I was in charge of. I was a guest at someone else's rally."
STELTER: "Okay."

STELTER: "That's correct."
BARNETTE: " — an extraordinary America first life."
STELTER: "That's a — that's a fair point that it was Mastriano at that event in Bucks County. Why not answer the basic questions that people asked you during the campaign, though?

BARNETTE: "No, that's not true, Brian. So, again — "
STELTER: "It is. I have the transcripts here."
BARNETTE: "And so again, I don't know if it's — "
STELTER: "You still haven't told us where you taught."
BARNETTE: "I don't know if it's laziness or being insidious."
STELTER: "Where did you teach?"
BARNETTE: "No, no. Well, I don't know if it's laziness as journalists or just something more insidious, but it is a dereliction of duty because it is all right there.”
