Carol Costello was true to her liberal form on the 11 November 2015 edition of CNN Newsroom during a segment with Rick Tyler, Senator Ted Cruz's campaign spokesman. Costello asserted that "Ben Carson didn't exactly give riveting answers" during the latest GOP presidential debate, and asked, "Why did no one challenge him on that?" She also wondered, "Is it too politically dangerous to attack Ben Carson, or to even challenge him on things that he says that don't make sense?" The anchor later claimed that "Senator Cruz is even a pariah among Senate Republicans," and questioned whether he can "effectively be president."
