Ron Paul supporters: Uncut video shows he didn’t ‘storm out’ of CNN interview

The uncut version a CNN interview between Ron Paul and Gloria Borger surfaced online Sunday leading many Paul supporters to claim that the footage shows the GOP hopeful didn’t “storm out” of the interview, as some media outlets reported based off the edited version that aired on CNN.
In the interview, Borger pushed Paul about newsletters from the 80s and 90s that bear his name and contained racist and homophobic content. In the originally aired video, Paul seemed to walk out on Borger after a terse rebuttal.
But the uncut version shows that Paul and Borger were standing up for the entire interview, and that Paul actually responded to questions about the newsletter for almost three minutes before walking off, and that the interview was likely over.
Paul was clearly irritated by the line of questioning, which he says he covered in length with CNN in another interview the day before, but early reports seemed to indicate that Paul fled the interview to avoid the issue.
The full interview lasted more than eight minutes, and covered issues not aired by CNN, such as negative campaign advertisements and the payroll-tax cut.
