Trump-supporting caller Brent from Missouri first claimed that we can’t consider Joe Biden as having been elected president until the election is certified in December. When I explained that that wasn’t the case in 2016 — when Donald Trump was called “president-elect” the day after the election was called for him by the networks — he switched to claiming that only if Trump “concedes” can Biden be considered president-elect.
When I then asked him where it says in the Constitution that the president must concede to finalize the election, he couldn’t provide it.
Basically, he was a jumble of Fox News talking points and Trump’s Twitter feed.
I know — I was probably a bit too aggressive with him but I really can’t take this bullshit, especially now. Let me know your thoughts!
Sore loser Trumpist calls in to claim election isn't until December
I knew within 30 seconds that Brent from Missouri was trying to pick a fight with you when that call came in last week. I have no more patience with them either. They do not want to share or reason with anyone but their own fellow Trumpers in an echo chamber. I also live in Missouri (originally from New York) and it is a raging, rabid red state here. I'm here only to heIp out a friend. I wouldn't try to reason with them for more than a few minutes, a very few minutes. I love how Joe Madison and Thom Hartmann dispose of them. Those callers just want to distract and waste your energy, not to dialog. I think that as soon as you feel rattled you should hang up. Your energy is better spent speaking to all of us who just want them all to be out of power, and to stop taking the country down. I love your show and how you do it. It's great!! Richard.
There’s no such thing as being too hard on these morons. They deserve every bit of lambasting they get with their ignorance..
