If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.

people that still engage in demagoguery.
This is exactly why you have a Nazi nation.
This woman thinks being louder and more emotional makes her right. She just looks insane.
It's crazy how she is using words given to her but incorrectly applied them to every instance. She even knows gish galloping! But she doesn't understand that a person asking one question to talk about one point is the opposite of gish galloping.
I came to say this!
A Gish gallop is when you throw out a bunch of false claims right after each other forcing your opponent to refute each one. Explaining the true situation take much longer, and makes you look like you are trying to manipulate facts.
This was an infuriating watch. I would have told that woman to stop fucking yelling so many times, I admire his calm.
They're kept angry on purpose and now it's difficult for them to stop

That show is by and large a waste meant to produce clips like these.
I'm going to need some dental work from grinding my teeth listening to her repeat "you don't know economy" so many times.
I don't reccomend watching the whole episode then. Idk if I can even call her the worst of the bunch, there were so many awful people to pick from.
They would rather keep doubling down than admit they were tricked.
If the history records make it, the kids will have so many questions about “what happened to them?”
And we’ll have no good answers

she was doing her best to get him elected. I was hoping for a stroke at the end , but one can only dream
