在福克斯新闻《The Will Cain Show》的一次采访中，前民主党全国委员会主席杰米·哈里森周二晚间指责主持人威尔·凯恩以不实前提邀请他上节目，整场对话随即失控。

当凯恩就民主社会主义者组织对参议院初选的影响，以及其与被指控反犹活动人士的可能联系发问时，哈里森明显感到意外。哈里森表示，这并不是他被告知将讨论的话题。

“Donald Trump literally sat down for dinner with Nick Fuentes, right?” 哈里森说。“A white nationalist, antisemitic, Holocaust denier. Do you believe that Nick Fuentes represents every Republican?”

在哈里森继续尝试回答时，凯恩作出回应。

“Okay. It's not the first time I've heard this analogy in vogue, Jaime,” 凯恩说。“Hold on. That's inflammatory, and I'm going to respond to it so this conversation stays honest ... you have to have the intellectual consistency and honesty to distinguish a dinner from a Senate candidate.”

双方争执升级，凯恩很快结束了采访。

“What's inflammatory is this,” 哈里森说。“You invite somebody to come on your show to talk about the South Carolina Republican primary, and you don't even talk about the South Carolina Republican primary! This is the reason why you guys are disingenuous. Don't invite me to come on your show to talk about the South Carolina Republican primary when you spent all your time talking about DSA, which I’m not even a member of! So if you want to talk about the DSA, invite somebody from the DSA.”

“Jaime, you can't hear me while you're talking!” 当哈里森继续说话时，凯恩喊道。“If my staff told you we were talking about the Senate Republican primary, then I apologize. I was under no pretense that I would be talking to you about a Republican primary. All right, I'm going to have to cut you off.”

随后，在哈里森的麦克风和摄像头被切断后，凯恩转向观众。

“I would never book the former head of the DNC to talk about a Republican primary,” 他表示。“What expertise or insight could I possibly hope? ... If that was communicated incorrectly to Jaime Harrison, my apologies to him and his staff.”
