hugh hewitt? listen, it absolutely was not a gotcha question. people who are running to be commander in chief are expected to know about international relations and particularly our fight against terrorism. the fact he s turning this into a campaign once again against the media shows that donald trump doesn t like to be questioned on the issues. really there s no excuse for him not to be prepared for these questions. hugh hewitt has forecasted in multiple interviews on his radio show that he wants candidates to be able to talk intelligently about these issues. it just shows that donald trump doesn t have a serious approach to preparing for these important questions. hugh hewitt dug in and he had carly fiorina on his show. next he set up her interview by saying she has no idea what i m going to ask her, but i m going to ask the very same questions that i asked of donald trump. i want to play how carly fiorina answered his questions.
if you don t know hamas from hezbollah or quds from kurz, don t w kurds, don t worry about it. you re not running for president. donald trump is. now he s slam ago conservative radio host about what trump calls gotcha questions about foreign policy and terror and that kind of stuff. hugh hewitt is set to moderate the next gop debate. listen to this. at the debate i may bring up nasrulla being with hezbollah and al julani being with al news a. do you think if i ask about those three things, that s a gotcha question? i totally do. that s interesting. so the difference between hezbollah and hamas doesn t
him gotcha questions? also the personal attack there but the gotcha question part. i asked him about gotcha questions because i hate them, and in the course of the interview which lasted 20 minutes and donald trump did very well throughout most of that interview, including tricky questions about china and israel, very important answers and all of those are transcribed and posted at the web site, but come back with third rate announcer, that s my trump tattoo. and i m always interested in critiques. i don t think it s a gotcha question to ask about the forces surrounding israel. that s where the interview was going. general sole manny, he d gone to russia to meet with putin. it s important to know what the republican candidates are going to do about this ring of terror surrounding israel right now, especially that have catastrophic, in my opinion, and the opinion of most of the republican candidate, deal with iran and he has proxies he
well, still seething from that exchange trump took to mocking hewitt today in a phone interview on morning joe. when you say quds versus kurds, this third rate radio announcer. gotcha, gotcha, do you know this one and that one. he worked hard on that. this hap aappears to be a far pattern for trump as he talked about megyn kelly at the first debate. joined by joy reid as well as senior political writer at buzzfeed. is it a fair question, is it a gotcha question or is a gotcha question a fair question? i think the difference between what happened with hugh hewitt and what megyn kelly did, megyn kelly was asking trump about his own statements. which is legitimate. on foreign policy there s actually a difference.
trump was a guest on the virginia huieit show and he wanted to answer questions related to his role as the commander in chief and asked about the iran quds force and other military figures and the conversation went from this. on the front of islamist terrorism, i m looking for the next commander in chief to know hasan nasrallah is and zawahri and aljulani and al baghdadi. do you know the players without a scorecard, donald trump? to tell you honestly, by the time we get to office they will all be changed and all gone. i knew you would ask me things like this because there s no reason, number one, i will hopefully find general douglas macarthur in the pack. i will find who is it is that i find but they are all changing. those are like history questions. do you know this one, do you know that one? i don t believe in gotcha questions. i m not trying to quiz you on. that is a gotcha question, when you re asking me about who, you know, who is running this, this, this.
