4:32Now PlayingCNN host Erin Burnett had an interview with George Santos this week, and it didn't go the way that Santos was expecting. During the interview, Burnett made Santos sit there and watch as she played a supercut of clips of him lying, forcing him to relive those disgusting moments one more time. Santos immediately tried to pivot to President Biden being corrupt, but Burnett wasn't having it. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

C n n host Aaron Burnett engaged in what I'm going to call a minor form of torture during an interview with George Santos this week because Aaron Burnett forced George Santos to sit there and watch a super cut of different clips of him lying about various different parts of his past. And she made him sit there and watch the whole thing. Here is how it went down. Take a look.
My grandparents survived the Holocaust. My mom was a nine 11 survivor. They
Sent me to a good prep school. So, and which was Harsman, uh, prep in the Bronx.
I actually went to school on a, on a volleyball scholarship. And when I was in Baruch, we were the number one volleyball team. Did you
Graduate? I put myself through college and got an M B A from N Y U.
So Congressman, I just wanna give you a chance. You've admitted, I, I understand you didn't graduate from N Y U Horace Mann says they've searched the records. There's no evidence that George Santos or any alias attended Horace Mann. Can you explain to an anybody watching that why you said some of the things that you've said, which you yourself have admitted are not true? Aaron?
Uh, you know what would be great? Uh, and, and I'm not deflecting, but I'm just gonna call you out here in c n n, have you brought Joe Biden on the network and spoken about all the things he said across the last 46 years? 'cause I haven't seen it. Joe Biden was top of his graduating class.
Santo. This interview is between you and me, and it is, well,
I understand, but I understand
Now the reason I described that as a mild form of torture, and, and for a normal person, it would be right. George Santos has no shame. So I'm sure he wasn't tortured by any of that. But could you imagine if you were forced to sit there and somebody played like eight video clips of some of the cringes, like worst things you've ever said, you would be just absolutely catatonic. Like that would be the worst thing ever. And there's George Santos having to sit through it, and then of course, at the end, obviously immediately I'm not gonna deflect. And then he totally deflect, like not to deflect or anything, but what about Biden? He later on tried to argue with Burnett that, Hey, you brought me on to talk about the impeachment. And she countered by saying like, we, we told you we're gonna talk about a lot of issues.
So that's kind of what we're doing here. Here's the big question though. Why would you even bring George Santos on tv? I mean, is it because you wanted to do that like fun little moment there and it was fun and he deserved it? And I'm not saying you shouldn't have done it. You absolutely should. But at the same time, the guy brings no substance to any conversation anywhere. So there's no point in bringing him on unless your goal is to make him look like a fool. In which case I'm, I'm a hundred percent gonna support you doing that. So the other question is, George Santos, why would you do? Like, why would you even agree to go give an interview to c it n Like, are you really that desperate for attention? You just want to be in the spotlight so badly that you don't even mind if you get totally humiliated during interviews as long as you get your face on that camera.
