"The student who says CNN attempted to script the question he was scheduled to ask at last night's CNN town hall on gun control, Colton Haab, is sticking by his story.
This comes after CNN denied his claims that they would only let him read a question they had written.
“There is absolutely no truth to this,” a statement from CNN said. “CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night’s town hall, nor have we ever.”
In an interview on Fox New's Tucker Carlson Tonight, Haab said he told CNN what he generally planned to ask about, but "they actually wrote the question."
"I knew as soon as what had happened with me that it was going to be more scripted and wasn’t actually going to be actual questions," Haab said, explaining his decision to skip the event altogether. CNN had reported in its statement that, "Colton's father withdrew his name from participation before the forum began, which we regretted but respected." In the Fox News interview, Haab indicated it was his own decision.
Haab is a member of the Junior RTC and is credited with shielding dozens of students from bullets using kevlar sheets during the shooting. He told Carlson the question he planned to ask at the CNN town hall focused on whether teachers would be open to arming themselves."
