25. Then we watched a different interview

Because that interview was a complete train wreck. Not a single one of the three reporters, yes I realize Micheal Steele is not a professional reporter by trade, but not one could string together A coherent retort or follow through.
Never nailed him down on forced deportation or the legal doctrine that makes that legal or how that would work in a material, real life way.
How do you determine a particular person is an undocumented person?
Never completed a coherent thought of his position of firing 10s of thousands of government employees, including disbanding the Dept of Education, nor asked him to show his work on how that would work legally.

I could literally write an entire article about how awful that interview was.

I am not against exposing these people but when it's not done properly it only emboldens them and gives them confidence in their position.
