MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle said it was a lot easier to contact Donald Trump than Kamala Harris. Although Ruhle didn’t get the outcome she wanted with Trump, she felt more connected and able to reach him if she wanted to. In fact, Ruhle said she had Trump’s direct phone number and called him directly to ask for an interview, but he allegedly said for Ruhle to ‘go f*ck yourself.’
When Ruhle wanted to contact Kamala Harris, she had to go through a number of contact points or handlers, there was supposedly no direct access whatsoever. Here are some quotes from Stephanie Ruhle, followed by the video below it.
STEPHANIE RUHLE: “I called him on the phone. And he answered! … I said ‘I’d like to sit down for an interview,’ Trump said ‘no.'”
“I was able to get to him by DIALING HIS PHONE. … The reverse of that – if I were to want to connect with VP Harris or President Biden… there’s 50 PEOPLE between me and them.”
“I could write a note that maybe could get to somebody, to get to somebody, then through pony express and a pigeon, something might end up in a mailbox near them.”
“I called DJT to say ‘Yo can I have an interview?’ and he told me to go f*ck myself, but I still was able to connect with him.”
