6. Stahl should have been better prepared on MTG's vile charge and been able to spike it better

The problem is RW code language not being English. Here she stated as FACT that Biden and other Democrats support "sexualiziing" children which she then equates to accepting Transgender kids and their needs. She then equates sexualizing with grooming ... ergo they are pedophiles. In one fast sentence she has 3 unsupported leaps in logic.

The problem is that that messy logic is likely already socialized in at least the Q and maybe other right wing people. Therefore, our perception that there have been far more Republican politicians, operatives and prominent people charged with pedophilia is irrelevant. ALL Democrats by her logic are quilty.

Stahl responded to that accusations as name calling. It may be that without a canned response responding directly to MTG's rat's nest of words it might be that Stahl found it difficult to directly respond.
