A member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet lost his cool in front of hundreds of thousands of CNN viewers Sunday morning when faced with tough questions from anchor Dana Bash. <\/p>\n

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum snapped at Bash as she questioned him about a sensitive issue for the president \u2014 his failed $14 million effort to turn the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool “American flag blue.” <\/p>\n

“Mr. Secretary,” Bash said, “you and I talked about this last month\u2014” <\/p>\n

“And we’re still talking about it!” Burgum interrupted. <\/p>\n

Tensions had mounted after Bash quizzed Burgum about a peeling liner that allowed algae to return and ruin the effect of a perfectly blue pool. Specifically, Bash wanted details about claims that vandalism was to blame and not the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

“It peeled off,” Bash said. “Why did that happen?”<\/p>\n

“It didn’t peel off,” Burgum snapped back. “There was vandalism. There were box cutters.”<\/p>\n

Bash was cynical. <\/p>\n

“You’re a hundred percent sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism?” she asked. “You can prove it?”<\/p>\n

Burgum stammered, then said, “Absolutely, we can.” <\/p>\n

He then referenced photographs that would be used as evidence, and Bash cut in again. <\/p>\n

“Photographs of people cutting a three-hundred or three-hundred-fifty-foot gash in the bottom of the reflecting pool?”<\/p>\n

That was Burgum’s cue to blame the media. <\/p>\n

“I’m not sure why you and others and the media think you want to question the whole thing,” Burgum said. “It would never just peel off. This is a strong material.” <\/p>\n
