a trump stooge tries to answer a different question than what they were asked.

She is having none of it.

for disinfranchisement.

He kept parroting that more blacks voted for Trump than ever before.

Joy was like "is that why he's trying to throw out black votes? because they voted for him"?

about letting the voting process play itself out in the courts and by counting all the ballots because there have been discrepancies, blah, blah, blah.

Right then Joy jumped in and asked him for corroborating proof that this was happening. She nailed him, demanding examples and facts to back up his claims. Then he tried to weasel his way out, continuing to spew lies and talking points and she just kept interrupting him demanding proof. She just nailed him and nailed him and hammered and hammered. She’d ask him a question and let him respond for half a minute, until it was obvious he was continuing to obfuscate, then she would nail him again. I’m sure he will never, ever go on tv again!

She drops all pretense that she should continue to act like she respects the answers. If they are lying or falling back on disproved talking points she’s relentless. And she talks really fast and very clearly. It’s amazing.
