Excerpted from The Daily Caller:

Tea Partier Christine O’Donnell is questioning whether CNN’s Piers Morgan would ask male politicians if they “think masturbation is wrong” like he did with her during an interview Wednesday.

In a phone interview with The Daily Caller, the former Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate from Delaware said she ended her television interview with Morgan in part because his questions to her about sex took a “borderline creepy turn.”

O’Donnell suggested there is a double standard and that Morgan wouldn’t have posed the question to male political figures.

“If he was sitting there talking to Barack Obama or Joe Biden or any other male Senate candidates, talking about masturbation and all of this stuff, it would’ve been creepy,” said O’Donnell, who is doing media appearances to promote her new book, “Trouble Maker.”

Morgan, who prefaced his question Wednesday saying he doesn’t regularly ask questions like this, played the infamous clip of a much younger O’Donnell talking about the issue on MTV in the nineties and asked her if she still thinks “masturbation is wrong.”

O’Donnell responded by saying, “lets not even go there” and then ended her interview with Morgan after he asked her about gay marriage. But she said it was Morgan’s prior questions on masturbation that really frustrated her and led her to accuse him of rudeness on air. “He kept pressing and pressing and pressing,” O’Donnell recalled.
