Cory Booker Dumbs Down Mandatory Gun Buybacks For Meghan McCain To No Avail
The people who try to talk sense into Meghan McCain must be extremely optimistic, extremely patient, or extremely good with kids. Maybe all three.
Today's unfortunate volunteer was Sen. Cory Booker, who appeared on The View, and spent energy defending his gun control stance to McCain. She didn't present an actual counterpoint, or alternative point of view, of course. She just challenged him with the equivalent of a playground taunt, not once, but at least three times: "How are you gonna get my brother's guns, huh?"
She might as well have been telling Sen. Booker, "My brother's bigger than you, and he can beat you in a fight, and you and Beto are CRAZY if you think you can take him on, so THERE!"
SEN. BOOKER: So, my point is this. I'm not where Beto is in the way he's been talking about this issue...
McCAIN: GOOD because he's CRAZY.
SEN. BOOKER: Well, again, we should watch the way we talk about each other. Seriously, we keep tearing the character of other people down.
McCAIN; He has no problem doing it to me. He was very nasty to me about this.
SEN. BOOKER: But you and I both know that just because someone does something to us, doesn't mean we show the same disrespect to them.
