I’m glad the interviewer really stood up to him and pushed back, for what it was worth

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, its really sad that we're so used to TV hosts letting republicans rant and rave about every insane, unhinged thing they are desperate to present as truth without even a question or concern about it, that it stands out and is shocking and unusual when someone just.. challenges them and pushes back on the absolute industrial grade spewing of raw verbal sewage.
Well, it wasn’t just verbal sewage coming out of his mouth, it was abject lies, combined with a whole bunch of personal attacks against her in particular, and she just wasn’t having it. His hypocrisy and double standards… He was practically slapping her in the face with them and daring her not to call him out, and she called his bluff, all right. It was plain as day for every viewer to see. And when she did it, he had the temerity to call her unfair. It was outrageous, and she made him look like a complete buffoon.
It was quite refreshing.
I'm really interested in what your idea of verbal sewage is, if you're arguing that lies and insults and bullshits arent it.
I didn’t say it wasn’t verbal sewage; I said:
it’s not just verbal sewage
And used that as a pretext delve into specifics.
Clearly, you misunderstood what I was saying
LIG, you’re in agreement
RFK Jr yelling at Dana Bash looks like the second before a hot dog blows up in the microwave.
Imagine how shitty a country has to be to Have Psychopath Trump as President, maniac RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Nazi Pete Hex-breath as Secretary of WAR!!
These people are all literally insane and completely incompetent.
Well done USA! 🤡 🤡
