Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner sparred with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) in a spirited debate as Granite State voters head to the polls.
Mediaite noted that tensions first peaked during a back and forth on Donald Trump's age and mental acuity:
Sununu laughed at Trump's self-defense, commenting, “This is the guy that was blaming Nikki Haley for January 6th. He is off the teleprompter. This is not Donald Trump of 2016. If he is off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought.” This led Sununu to say “this guy is nearly 80 years old,” to which Faulkner rebutted “he's 77.”
“That's nearly 80! We'll do math later,” Sununu scoffed. Faulkner laughed, “you are so snarky,” while Sununu continued to say “you don't need a couple of 80-year-olds.”
The interview went on with Sununu continuing to defend Haley's viability despite the polls suggesting she'll need a major upset to overcome Trump's lead. At the end of the interview though, tensions flared when Faulkner told Sununu, “I wanna see you debate Donald Trump,” and he said “I would pay to do that if that coward would get on the stage with anybody.”
“No name-calling,” said Faulkner disapprovingly. “We don't do the name-calling.”
“No! He's a coward,” Sununu persisted, as Faulkner quickly ended the segment.
