Asked if this is true, @jdbalart said: “Of course not. He was asked to answer questions from Telemundo viewers —they were on a monitor. He would answer the monitor. In one moment the monitor went to black — he said ‘I lost the lady’I told him he could answer looking at me“

...”and that was that.” I asked @jdbalart about it because I know him well and he’s a helluva reporter first and foremost and he would never agree to something like this, where a subject gets interview questions or is allowed to answer off a teleprompter

@TLMDPR should clarify
Maybe I’ll add a third tweet explaining why I checked this: it was tweeted to me this morning on an unrelated matter.

So I checked it out https://twitter.com/bsmith1249/status/1308722188678291459?s=21

This tweet is shocking not just because it's misleading but because @helenaguirrefer, who now helms the @FloridaGOP, used to work in Miami media & knows @jdbalart & knows he wouldnt do what the party is alleging

So I hope this is an errant staffer tweet https://twitter.com/FloridaGOP/status/1308807124135350274
I’ve known Helen for years and knew her as a professional colleague (just like Jose did) before she worked for the GOP.

The Helen I knew would be aghast at this error and strike this.

So let’s see https://twitter.com/howardj09093729/status/1308840852358402050?s=21
Wow
I wonder what Florida Republican Congressman @MarioDB thinks about his state party posting this about his brother?
