Ron Paul walked out on CNN’s Gloria Borger, after she persistently questioned him about old newsletters under his name that contained racist content.

Paul admitted that it was a serious question, but complained that CNN continues to pester him over the issue even though he has given his answer.

“When you get the answer, it’s sort of legitimate you take the answers you get.” Paul said, “I didn’t write them. Didn’t read them at the time and I disavow them. That’s the answer.”
