New York Times columnist Charles Blow lost his cool during a CNN panel discussion on Friday night, February 17, exploding on conservative pundit Kayleigh McEnany after she placed her hand on his arm.

"Don't do that. Don't touch me and say that's your 'sinister motivations.' That's not going to happen tonight," Blow told McEnany, after she inferred that he is an example of someone from the liberal media, who she said she believes is using the Russian leaks scandal to tarnish the President's reputation. McEnany elaborated on the dichotomy she sees between fair and unfair reporting by thanking host Don Lemon for having her on for 'open discussion,' before touching Blow and stating there are others who don't have such noble intentions.

Clearly agitated by McEnany's assertion, Blow would continue to rail, insisting "no you can't" when she underscored that she can't even touch him. At one point during their dispute McEnany volunteered to move over, to which Blow responded, "you can scoot until you fall off that ledge."
