A Hurricane Harvey survivor who waited days with her children to be rescued from rising waters in Houston lashed out at a CNN reporter on live television on Tuesday, multiple outlets are reporting.
“You all are sitting here trying to interview people at their worst times. That’s not the smartest thing to do. People are really breaking down and you’re sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the f—k is wrong with us,” the survivor said to correspondents Rosa Flores, her voice filled with anger and emotion. “And you really trying to understand, with the microphone still in my face, when he’s shivering cold, and my kids wet and you still putting the microphone in my face.”
Anchor Jim Acosta interrupted, saying: “It sounds like you’ve got a very upset family there. We’re going to take a break from that and we’ll get back to you later on,” before cutting to a commercial. Take a look at the tense clip above.
