Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik said he walked off a CNN set on Oct. 24, just before he was supposed to talk about the incidents of pipe bombs addressed to several well-known figures of, or tied to, the Democratic party.

Kerik said he was appalled by the network’s coverage of the incidents and decided to leave before he was put on the air.
