CNN Panel Spirals Into Shouting Match: ‘Be Honest!’

A panel on CNN’s State of the Union spiraled into a shouting match Sunday over GOP Rep. Mike Lawler’s defense of Trump-era tariffs. The clash kicked off when Democratic strategist Rebecca Katz blasted Republicans in Congress over the tariff votes—measures Lawler supported before the Supreme Court later ruled much of the policy illegal. “The Republicans in Congress are cowards,” Katz said, before anti-Trump Republican Margaret Hoover jumped in to argue that MAGA’s “solidification of power” was to blame.
