By now I am so confused that I think It would be better to start over.
What question did the HOST ask that Akin provided this response to?
Bonus points if you don't have to GOOGLE it.
To paraphrase, it had nothing to do with the tangent he went on. He owns it for putting it out there.
Akin “from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare”. That’s a prediction on probability no one could know the answer to, does his doctor sources tell patients ‘you really don’t need a pregnancy test, it’s rare’? That’s part of why it’s also offensive, especially coming from a “Mr Know-it-all”.
That it ain’t someone I would want to trust to make an informed decision. Democrats are already at that level.
For now he needs to be drilled on why he should go, it’s for how he said it as a “Mr Know-it-all” without being able to back it up.
We’ve all dealt with this, but worse yet you’ve got to verify everything they say. Has this been a life long habit for Akin? Or was being in spot light of all the attention going to his head?
