"GORANI: What made you change your mind?
HAYES: No, I didn't – I didn't change my mind. First off, let's back up. I wrote a two-part article for Breitbart in June that I thought that he had the right temperament. I was very bothered by the media not separating temperament and personality.
I had said, in that interview, I was really concerned that at that point, it was after the convention, he should have been rejoicing in having knocked 16 people out and really turning it upside down.
But instead, there must have been something going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about so that it was causing an element of him to behave psychologically unbalanced.
GORANI: All right. So you're saying, an element of him – you said you were very concerned about his behavior. So at some point, all of these concerns, I guess, fizzled or evaporated or became less of a concern, because now you're part of the transition and you're going to the inauguration.
HAYES: They didn't fizzle or whatever you said. What happened was, I continued to watch his behavior. On August 17th, he changed his leadership. He brought truth tellers in. I had been in touch with some of his staff and they were truth tempers. They were sycophants enamored with him.
Two days after he put Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon in, he came out and for the first time in his life, he apologized, because it was the first time any of the people around him said, guess what, you are saying things that offend people.
He came out and said, I really have said some things that I regret, because it seems that I've offended people. He didn't get that feedback. And if you don't give that feedback to a leader, they think that how they're behaving is perfectly fine if they get the silence or they don't get challenged.
And then I have watched him continually take on more and more professional behavior, be clearer and clearer about things. And, you know, what, he won, and I knew he was going to win."
