Raw footage shows Ron Paul DIDN'T storm out of CNN interview over racist newsletters... the interview was simply done
Reports that Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul stormed out of a CNN interview earlier this week seem to be dramatically over-exaggerated.
Raw footage of the Thursday interview shows that it lasted nearly ten minutes, which is not unusually brief on the campaign trail.
After discussing foreign policy, the payroll tax, negative advertisements, and super fund PACs, the interview concluded with three whole minutes of discussion on the issue of the incendiary racist and homophobic letters that were published in Mr Paul's name in the Eighties and Nineties.
Initial news reports made it seem that Mr Paul recited his one line response- that he didn't write the letters, that he didn't read them until about a decade after they were published, and that he disavows them- and stormed off, tossing away his microphone and charging out.
The newly-released CNN footage shows something entirely different.
After fielding repeated questions about the controversial newsletters, Mr Paul began wrapping up the interview.
The footage was released on YouTube on the RonPaul.com channel and has the CNN logo in the bottom right hand corner.
The CNN reporter, Gloria Borger, didn't even seem particularly upset or surprised that the interview was ending considering the fact that she was beginning to repeat the same questions on the issue presumably in hopes of receiving a new answer.

Did CNN Unfairly Edit The Ron Paul Walk Off Interview? Watch The Uncut Interview
The full-length, uncut video of CNN?s contentious interview with Ron Paul has been uploaded to the web.
According to a popular post on the social link-sharing website Reddit and Daily Paul, a site for Ron Paul supporters, CNN?s original aired interview was ?edited? and ?misleading?.
The full-unedited cut still shows Paul leaving the interview while Gloria Borger is peppering him with questions about his controversial newsletters. But some say that the original cut makes Paul look bad and was unfairly edited.
?By watching the full one, it looks like he refused to answer the question and then walked off,? said user SCope13.
?The edited video was very convincing. I believed he cut and ran. Now that I?ve seen the uncut one though? It gives you an entirely different impression than the one I originally saw,? said user globalvar.
