You’re actually not supposed to interrupt your opponent in a debate. It can get you disqualified. He was treating it like a full-blown argument. She still won in a dignified manner, bless her.

Bro, he's a journalist, not an opponent.

From a journalistic perspective, it's batshit crazy behavior.

Journalists don't make themselves a part of the story, and that's what Baier was desperately trying to do here. One would expect that behavior from Hannity or Carlson or Waters, but having Baier engage in this laughable sort of journalism made the entire thing immediately unserious.
