Bloomberg Editor-In-Chief Booed For Trump Interview Style

Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait was booed Tuesday during his interview with former President Donald Trump after pressing him on the Jan. 6 riots, stating the 2020 transfer of power was the “worst” in recent memory.

In early May, corporate media repeatedly pressed Republicans on whether they would certify the election if Trump lost, citing the Jan. 6 riots and blaming Trump for the event.

During the interview at the Economic Club of Chicago, Micklethwait described Jan. 6 as a display of America’s democracy being “unruly and violent,” and asked Trump if he would “commit now” to “respecting and encouraging a peaceful transfer of power.”
