6. She has time and time again.

She was at one time quite consistent in mentioning it loudly and proudly. She has gotten a few and still does but it's rare. She always asks the other side to come on or give their side > they don't reply or decline to appear.

When republicans have come on she has treated them with respect, most times asking some tough questions and challenging them.
She may even scoff at them from time to time but still with a certain professionalism and respect. The Koch brothers are probably telling them not to go on since they have now written her twice telling her how she should do her job. I guess they think they can push her around since she is a woman or something.
