Trump-Endorsed Media Outlet Tries To Ambush Democratic Candidate, Immediately Regrets It

[TexasTowelie]

Note: Chris Perri is running for U.S. Congressional District 21 which is currently held by Lamar Smith. Perri is also an alum of my alma mater, Southwestern University, and is running on a progressive agenda.


A videographer working for one of Donald Trump’s favorite media outlets, InfoWars, attempted to ambush Texas progressive candidate Chris Perri, who is running for Congress, and it didn’t go as they expected.

While yelling into a microphone at an “Impeach Trump” rally on Tuesday, Owen Shroyer blasted the candidate and pressed him on foreign policy as the progressive answered questions calmly and respectfully.

Perri, an Austin-based defense attorney, ultimately got the InfoWars interviewer to admit he didn’t agree with Trump’s actions on Syria and that Trump hasn’t “drained the swamp” the way he said that he would. Shroyer also admitted that Trump demanded a loyalty pledge by former FBI Director James Comey, something the president and White House have denied.

Going down in flames, Shroyer quickly switched to talking about immigration. But Perri fought back about the implication that deportations make communities safer. He specifically cited cases in which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement came into courtrooms where domestic violence survivors were being detained after serving as a witness for prosecutors.

WARNING: The video is from InfoWars and the interviewer is an asshole. Chris Perri appears around the 5:00 mark in the video.

1. Sorry, but I cannot stand that POS, lying InfoWars interviewer, who keeps trying to talk over every

question he asks with his constant interruptions of Perri.

and the situations he is presenting, Shorter is lying through his f**king ass, with everything from "CNN admitted the Russian interference was fake news", to how "it is all Obama's fault"

Sorry, but this is typical bulling, by trump's brown shirts surrogates

2. Should have asked the guy interviewing

when he was planning on going to Mars to investigate the Child Slave Labor Camps

3. That guy was so obnoxious, I couldn't listen to him.

The Trump bots are consistently loud, rude liars, it's difficult to listen to them.

4. I wasn't going to listen but I'm glad I did. Perri was excellent.

That asshole was only looking for a reaction, but Chris Perri was calm, reasoned and made many great points. He even handled the 18 year olds question very well. Impressive.

5. Same for me

Once Perri started I couldn't stop listening to him despite the rude interviewer. Perri was excellent!
