The Teabagger was talking over him and not answering. He never did really do anything but toss out Teabagger talking points and keep redefining words to fit them. Frankly, he was a good candidate for having a mic turned off.

the specific question about if he would actually export 11 million people and he would not answer it. Maybe you were not paying attention.

He didn't answer that question or any other but continued to spout Teabagger talking points or change the subject. Other posters on this thread apparently saw what I saw as well.

Not answering a question and repeating it isn't exactly tearing someone up. It's just not getting the question answered. Also not calling him out for changing the subject to Clinton when asked about Reagan wasn't exactly tearing him up either. Perhaps you should quit trying to tell me what kind of person I am while you are at it. It adds nothing and I continue to hold my own opinion.

But i think he let brooks talk over him without enough push back. For example chris brings up reagan and brooks talks about Clinton. He did not stop him outright and correct him.

He was totally overwhelmed. Asked about a Reagan policy, Brooks said it was a Clinton policy and ran with it; Chris couldn't and didn't correct him. All that interview did was allow more airtime for Puke talking points.
