The dust-up began after Warner’s communications director, Rachel Cohen, complained about CNN interviewing former Trump administration official Tricia McLaughlin. “WHY is CNN interviewing Tricia McLaughlin right now,” Cohen protested. “She is easily the most mendacious spokesperson I’ve had the displeasure of encountering in 15 years of doing this.
