'I wasn't done': CNN's Bash cuts off GOP senator's meltdown over Hegseth police report

CNN host Dana Bash was forced to calm down a Republican senator on Sunday morning who launched into a furious rant as she attempted to read a police report documenting Donald Trump DOD nominee Pete Hegseth's interactions with a woman that has led to allegations of sexual assault.

Noting that Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) previously stated he thought the former Fox News personality was merely "flirting" with the woman at a conference in California and was therefore innocent, Bash began reading the damaging police report on air which led to the GOP lawmaker's outburst.

'He was flirting with a different girl and the other girl was trying to flirt with Pete," the lawmaker argued. "The Jane Doe here, that is unmentioned. They also said that she was holding his arm as they were leaving and that Pete was intoxicated and the Jane Doe was not."

"They obviously said multiple people said that she was aggressively to the point of –– aggressively –– use the word aggressively flirting towards him when they were in the __."

"Senator, senator, I wasn't done, " Bash interrupted and then repeated, "I wasn't done, I wasn't done, I wasn't done," as he continued to talk over her.

When she finally got him to quiet down, she added, "You're giving his side and it was definitely on the police report, it definitely was what she said and what he said –– you're absolutely right. I hadn't gotten there but I appreciate you giving that other side for me. So I guess that just kind of answers the question which is, from your perspective, you believe his part of the story and not hers."
