Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) blasted CNN host Pamela Brown on Thursday over the network’s past economic coverage as the two sparred over the cost of living during the Biden administration.

Donalds appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room to defend President Donald Trump’s tariffs. In the moments before Donalds went on air, President Donald Trump delayed the 25% tariffs against Mexico for a second time, this time until April 2. The tariffs were scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
