CNN is denying reports that it asked a Florida school shooting survivor to read a “scripted” question during a town hall debate on gun violence that aired on the network Wednesday night. “CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions, and it ended up being all scripted,” Haab told local ABC affiliate WPLG. It’s not gonna ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have.”The network on Thursday vehemently denied Haab’s accusation. A CNN source told HuffPost that the town hall was intended to give participants a chance to ask a question, but Haab wanted to read an “extensive” speech. “Unfortunately, gun control, it’s definitely needed a little bit more,” Haab told Fox News on Saturday.
