On the 22 August 2016 edition of CNN's New Day, Alisyn Camerota badgered Mike Pence over supposedly signaling he was "wrong" about supporting free trade his "entire professional and public life" due to his running with Donald Trump. Camerota wondered, "You supported TPP. You supported CAFTA. Donald Trump has said about those things that the U.S. is being taken to the cleaners by these trade deals. Which one of you is right?" She also pointed out, "You supported every single free trade deal in 12 years that you were in Congress," and asked, "Were you wrong during that time?"
Camerota also hyped how "Steve Bannon, now at the top of your campaign — he's known as a street fighter. He's known as a flame-thrower. He was the head of the far-right website, Breitbart." She underlined past Breitbart headlines: "'Big trans hate machine targets Curt Schilling' — that is in reference to the transgender community. 'There's no hiring bias against women in technology. They just suck at interviews.' 'Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy.' You get the picture. Are you comfortable with that kind of flame-throwing or incendiary messaging?"
