| Description | Samuel Wurzelbacher, who on Thursday morning accused CNN of being like TMZ and trying to trap him with “gotcha questions,” explained to POLITICO immediately following the tense interview that he is “sick of the gossip and drama.”
Reached on his cellphone after his early morning TV hit, Wurzelbacher, better known to many Americans as “Joe the Plumber,” explained why he had gotten flustered.
“Because I’m just — I’m sick of the gossip and drama. There’s real issues to work on. They want to take anything they disagree with me on to use it to twist it and use it to their gain and paint me in a in a light they want to paint me in,” he said. “Let’s … stop with the seventh grade shenanigans.”
Minutes after comparing CNN to TMZ on the air, Wurzelbacher said that the host of “Early Start” went “National Enquirer” on him by asking him about his previous statements on gay people.
“They want to paint someone as a bigot – I don’t hate people,” he said. “I am working for everybody.” |
