The IndependentA late-night host aired an edited clip of an interview in which a president removed his microphone and left the set after being asked for evidence on election-related statements. The segment, broadcast Monday, featured a green-screen addition showing the interviewee without trousers and wearing a diaper. The host also commented on the exchange and played an altered version of the remarks.
Interview details The original interview took place Friday in Wisconsin.
The host asked the president to substantiate claims that elections in one state were affected by irregularities. The president responded by saying the interviewer was "either crooked or you're stupid," then left the set, according to the broadcast.
" The president later told supporters the departure was related to rain during the outdoor interview and described the exchange as tense but ultimately positive. The host and the president have exchanged public remarks on multiple occasions over several years, including comments about the show and its content.
