Christine o donnell, a tea party favorite, is best known in Delaware for defeating the heavily favored nine-term Congressman and former governor Michael Castle in the state’s September 2010 Republican Senate primary. She lost in the general election to Democrat Chris Coons.

Outside of Delaware, she is perhaps most famous for her claim to have once “dabbled into witchcraft,” and her subsequent ad in which she disclaimed possessing supernatural abilities.

Before coming on Morgan’s show, she had already told Good Morning America that she regretted the “I’m not a witch” campaign ad. She said experts told her to do the ad, but that she has since learned to “trust your gut.”

Christine O’Donnell, former Senate candidate from Delaware, suddenly withdrew from an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight on Wednesday, an evening talk show she was on to promote her new book Troublemaker, according to Broadcasting & Cable. Morgan had been questioning O’Donnell about the issue of gay marriage. Morgan said that O’Donnell claimed he shouldn’t have asked her about it: “”I can’t believe she can think – as not at all a frontline politician – that she can dictate to CNN the terms of an interview.”

The magazine reported that Morgan said, “From an interviewing standpoint, I don’t think there was anything that would constitute rudeness. The issue of gay marriage is clearly significant in the wake of (the popularity of) Michelle Bachmann. I wasn’t asking about to it to be outrageous, I just assumed she would have a standard answer for it since she wrote about it in her book. It was bizarre.”

Video of the segment released by CNN shows the exchange that went down on the latter subject.

During the 2010 election season, video surfaced of O’Donnell indicating she’s “dabbled into witchcraft.” In the clip from years earlier she said, “I hung around people who were doing these things. I’m not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do.” The Tea Party favorite explained, “One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar and I didn’t know it. I mean, there was a little blood there and stuff like that. … We went to a movie and then had a little picnic on a satanic altar.”
