Steve Price clashed with columnist Jamila Rizvi on The Project

Broadcaster Steve Price has shared a tense exchange with former Labor staffer Jamila Rizvi following the shock US election result.

Appearing on Channel Ten's The Project on Wednesday night, the pair clashed after Price claimed Rizvi interrupted him as the panel discussed Hillary Clinton's loss.

Wearing a t-shirt with Hillary Clinton's logo, Ms Rizvi said she was in 'shock' at the result and 'sad' the US hadn't voted in a female president.

After host Carrie Bickmore outlined how women had voted, she seemingly directed to Ms Rizvi for comment - however Price interjected, saying the breakdown showed the underlying discontent within non-metro America.

'Well what that shows you is the people in real America, small town America, weren't buying the bulldust coming out of the elites,' Price began to say, before he was cut off by Rizvi.

'Sorry can we cut this bull**** about the idea of there being a real America,' the news.com.au columinst said.

Price attempted to jump back in, however his efforts were ignored as Ms Rizvi continued to lambaste Price's idea of a 'real America'.

'All America is real - and the question I believe was to me - if you live in a city or you live in a small town you're still American,' she said.

One Ms Rizvi had finished talking, Price then went on the attack.

'This is the reason why Donald Trump won, because people like you lecture and heckle people,' he said.

Clearly taken aback by Price's comments, Ms Rizvi 'apologised' as the studio audience let out a collective 'woah', before host Carrie Bickmore intervened.

'Pricey, we were talking to Jamila and you don't need to keep that tone,' Bickmore said.

Rizvi later took to social media to defend herself against broadcaster Ben Fordham who criticised her for interrupting Price

'I apologise, I thought I was on to be interviewed, so...' Ms Rizvi said.

Never one to back down from his views, it was the former shock jock Price who had the last word against Kevin Rudd's former media assistant.
