From The Hill: Former President Trump attacked ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in a late-night post about what he called a “nasty and totally inappropriate” interview with Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.).

Stephanopoulos’s contentious interview Sunday with Donalds on ABC’s “This Week” featured the pair going back and forth over Trump’s promise to pardon defendants convicted for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, and criticism of the GOP presidential nominee’s recent attacks on Vice President Harris’s race.

Trump called the anchor politically biased and claimed he had previously given President Biden a softball interview following the poor debate performance that raised concerns among Democrats about the incumbent’s ability to continue in the campaign.

Trump wrote the following on Truth Social in response to the contentious sparring:

“Liddle’ George, of ABC FAKE NEWS, was so solicitous and nice, asking easy questions and doing whatever was necessary to make Sleepy, the WORST President in the history of our Country (Kamabla is the WORST V.P.), look alert and sharp. It didn’t work, but he tried! Then I watched Slopadopolus viciously attack Congressman Byron Donalds, a future star in the Republican Party, with nasty and totally inappropriate questions, the exact opposite of the treatment given to Crooked Joe. The good news is that Byron swatted him away like a fly, not to be heard from again!”
