CNN's Kate Bolduan badgered the RNC's Sean Spicer on Thursday's At This Hour over Donald Trump passing on speaking at the NAACP's convention. Spicer called out the media for not "reporting when folks don't go meet with conservative groups." Bolduan underlined, "Trump is polling at zero percent with African-American voters in Ohio...not showing up to speak...how does that help with that number?" The guest retorted, "The liberal media wants to talk about one particular group as if that's the only way to communicate....you don't ask Hillary Clinton about groups that she is refusing to speak to."

Anchor John Berman raised the issue of the liberal group's annual meeting near the end of the interview: "The NAACP meeting this weekend — they invited Donald Trump to come speak. John McCain spoke to them in 2008. Mitt Romney went in 2012. Trump's not going. Do you think he should?" Spicer replied, in part, with his point about Democratic presidential candidates not meeting with conservatives. He also asserted, "I don't think it is the sole way that you can reach out to the issues and concerns that plague members of that group."

Bolduan shot back, "Of course not!" She continued by spotlighting how in "the new Marist poll that's out, Donald Trump is polling at zero percent with African-American voters in Ohio, and zero percent with African-American voters in Pennsylvania." She asked, "Trump not showing up to speak before the NAACP — how does that help with that number though?"

This question prompted a back-and-forth between the CNN anchor and Spicer, which culminated in his "liberal media" line. Bolduan objected, "Oh, come on! Don't 'liberal media' us! Come on, Sean!" She also shook her head negatively when he gave his final response: "You don't ask Hillary Clinton about groups that she is refusing to speak to, or doesn't go down to. So, I think there's a double standard when it comes to what groups that we, in the Republican Party, choose to go speak to or not."

Berman ended the segment by stating, "Sean Spicer, on behalf of all the media, we thank you for being with us today." Bolduan added, "Liberal and non-liberal alike."
