Controversy
Like most people involved in politics, Elrod also became part of controversy during her interview.
During her interview with CNN, the host, Poppy Harlow, confronted her about an incident about Bill Clinton. Clinton once gave a similar statement as Donald Trump on the relation of North Korea and nuclear weapons, and Elrod was working as his strategist.
Elrod tried to resolve the matter by dismissing whatever Clinton said as something from the past. She emphasized that it didn’t have any impact in the present. However, the statement made by Trump was problematic as it would create a problem in the ongoing situation.
The host bluntly called Elrod a hypocrite, and the incident caused controversy in the media.
