A-Hole from TX on Erin Burnett

Troy Nehls (I had never heard of him) was just on Erin Burnett's show on CNN and called her "young lady" before starting a rant about how McCarthy would start MAGA legislation once he's elected, etc. etc.

When she asked him about the "young lady" comment, he said that "of course" he meant it as a compliment and that he was happy to have his first interview on the "Clinton News Network."

These people are such complete a-holes and they can't miss an opportunity to prove it.

To her credit, after noting that she found him to be "rude," she would treat him with respect and thanked him for his time.

According to records obtained by News 88.7, Nehls was fired by the Richmond (Texas) Police Department for reasons including destruction of evidence. Nehls was also charged with underage drinking and obstructing an officer in 1988. He later applied for a job with the Ford Bend ISD Police Department, signing a form saying he'd never been charged with a crime.

TX CD 22 went from an R+2 district to an R+22 district. In 2020, this asshole beat Sri Preston Kulkarni after pulling some nasty shit including accusing Sri of wanting to defund the police

Calling her “young lady” is meant in the same way as “bless your heart”. He’s a douchebag.

He is an idiot who was fired from a nearby police department for lying.
