There was a satisfying moment during the debate for me
Chris Wallace: (25:09)
We have six segments. We have ended that segment. Were going to go to the next segment. In that segment, you each are going to have two uninterrupted moments. In those two interrupted minutes, Mr. President, you can say anything you want. Im going to ask a question about race, but if you want to answer about something else, go ahead. But I think that the country would be better served, if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions. Im appealing to you, sir, to do that.
President Donald J. Trump: (25:37)
Well, and him too.
Chris Wallace: (25:38)
Well, frankly, youve been doing more interrupting than he has.
So, an accusation is made against Trump. Trump goes with the standard Republican distraction, the
false equivalence. Maybe I was interrupting, maybe not, but if I was, well so was he, so it's a push. Is it? There never is an independent ruling on these. There is one for every occasion in the Republican playbook (see "Hillary's emails" ), and they are just tossed out there like handfuls of baking soda on a grease fire.
But in this case, there was a definitive ruling.
Youve been doing more interrupting than he has.
