An ESPN reporter abruptly shut down Win Butler when he started a spiel about the U.S. election after he was minted MVP at the NBA all-star celebrity game.
During the post-game interview, Butler attempted to discuss the U.S. election, but Steele shut it down — fast.
"The U.S. has a lot they can learn from Canada, health care, taking care of people," Butler said before music started to play and he was cut off by Steele.
"We're talking about celebrity stuff, not politics," she said.
And that was that.
Viewers were not impressed by the not-so-subtle segue.
