I think he probably has a debate stand in, who is nothing but ridiculing him.
He tends to laugh off ridicule. What seems to bug him is people misrepresenting what he said, or what his proposed policies are. If he stifles the interruption, and has a clear rebuttal that illuminates "the lie," it will do him well. Especially given Crooked's (and the press) reputation for being a liar. He paints them as true to their form, and himself as "different," and "measured/deliberate."
