'Can this guy be that dumb?' Levin swings back at CNN’s Stelter

Mark Levin responded forcefully to CNN’s Brian Stelter Friday night on his radio program after the “Reliable Sources” anchor attempted a hit piece on him.

Stelter selectively edited his conversation with Levin and inserted it into his daily newsletter. You can see the full story here.

“He’s so pathetic,” said Levin. “He puts out this email … and he includes some of the back-and-forth of [our conversation], as I knew he would, and of course he leaves out a critical email.”

“Can this guy be that dumb?” Levin continued, saying he knew that Stelter had “absolutely no interest” in engaging him in a true discussion about his book.

The two had further communication Friday in which Levin invited Stelter to join him on his radio show. Stelter declined.

In response, Levin had tough words. “You turned down my radio request,” he said. “The invitation is open. In the meantime, try to get your ego under control, you’re a little fish in a little pond.”
