An interview with a Trump supporter gets completely out of hand.
The presenter leaves the set furious - the video goes viral on Twitter.
Ex-President Donald Trump has officially been out of office since January 20.
His Twitter accounts are blocked.
His supporters still hold on to the allegations of electoral fraud.
An interview with a supporter backfired and became a Twitter hit.
Florida - Ex-President Donald Trump has not been in office for a good two weeks.
However, Trump and his supporters initially did not want to recognize the lost election and instead raised the charge of electoral fraud.
In the conservative American television station Newsmax, businessman Mike Lindell was supposed to give an interview after his Twitter accounts were blocked.
There, the Trump supporter is said to have posted conspiracy theories about the US election.
With the blocking, he is following his idol Trump, whose social media account has also been blocked.
Twitter suspended Trump's account after allegations that his statements incited the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Trump supporters with allegations of election fraud on live TV
Mike Lindell appeared repeatedly at rallies for ex-President Trump and presented himself as a big fan. He also showed in an interview with the ultra-conservative broadcaster Newsmax.
As soon as he had his say, he started with allegations of election fraud.
In particular, he focused on the voting machine manufacturer Dominion.
Thereupon the presenter Bob Sellers interrupted him.
"We at Newsmax have not been able to confirm these types of allegations," he said of the election fraud allegations that Trump spread after his loss to Joe Biden.
Trump supporter upsets the moderator - he just leaves the set
The Trump supporter was not impressed by this.
Bob Sellers took tougher measures and read a statement in which the broadcaster distanced itself from allegations of fraud in the US election.
Meanwhile, Lindell kept talking to the moderator in the background, loud and angry.
“Can we get out of here, please?” The Newsmax spokesman then asked the show's TV producers.
He doesn't want to deal with it any more.
When nothing happened, Sellers got up and angrily walked off the set and out of the picture.
The mediation attempts of the co-moderator didn't help either, which he left alone with the guest.
A hit on Twitter - Conservatives are angry
The video clip of the interview that got out of hand has now been clicked millions of times on Twitter and went viral.
According to reports, voting machine maker Dominion had threatened Newsmax with lawsuits over unsubstantiated fraud allegations.
Trump had referred to claims on Twitter that specifically software from the Dominion company in several states had attributed votes cast for him to the Democrat Joe Biden.
The company and electoral authorities have already rejected this.
While Democrats celebrate the television appearance, conservatives and Trump supporters demanded an apology from the station or announced that the station would no longer be on.
Mike Lindell, however, got another airtime with another presenter to talk about his relationship with Trump and Newsmax.
