Train Wreck
Go to the interwebs and find Trump surrogate Ben Carson's interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
When a female reporter asked him if he thought that trump's accusers were lying he demanded of Joe to "turn her microphone off". When that failed to silence her Carson asked 'does anybody have a plug', presumably to put in the lady reporter's mouth.
Then there was finger wagging and mansplaining.
He referred to reporters as 'you people'.
Finally, Carson said we should 'throw out all the economists and use common sense" to draft economic policy, because I guess experts don't know anything.
I wonder how Ben would feel about hospitals employing untrained people to do neurosurgery.
Anyway, epic meltdown that you should see
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Train Wreck
The press is NOT always fair and balanced for sure, but when candidates and their surrogates want to shut down people or reporters from asking questions, then we are entering a state where we no longer want to be a part of.
Our country is founded on freedom and that includes freedom of the press even if you disagree with it.
