What was the trap, enlighten us pls.
To show the Senator doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground?
I think it was clear from the get go, that the senator didn’t know his @ss from a hole in the ground if he had his finger in it.
I’m saying as an interviewer, he was in the past much more impartial and patient. As of late he comes in with one talking point with the objective of getting his guest to agree with him. This is not a credible approach in the long run.
He got what he wanted at the beginning of the interview when the senator admitted that he was NOT fully informed. Okay? Then go on to the next question, and make him look even dumber if that’s your objective.
That hardball idiot Matthews does this sort of thing all the time. The senator was right to bail out when he did.
