Lmao yassssssssss. I've been too busy to keep up with TDS/TCR this week, but I can't wait to go back and watch this interview.

I feel like this also needs the racism tag.

Also you really have to wonder who keeps giving the ok for these GOP asshats to be interviewed by TDS. Do they really think it's going to go well???

I am constantly amazed by the interviews TDS gets. It isn't like TDS is some tiny little no-name show. All of its correspondents are pretty famous and easily recognized. How does someone go on the show and not be fully aware they're going to be mocked six ways to Sunday?

I really want to know the answer to that, too.

I asked the same question here months ago, because it was driving me nuts. At one point I thought the interviews must be fake or staged, because I cannot fathom why most of the interviewees would agree to go on TDS.

I'm sure they think they are so clever that they can smite the interviewer with cunning arguments, and those interviewers who ask their questions most innocently and sound like they're agreeing with their victim also seem to get the most drastic answers. I really think it's people being too full of themselves that gets them into trouble.

Some people do fairly well, I'd say, mostly the ones who just ignore the questions and go on to say what they're there to say. But it's true that it's very hard to comprehend how people walk into clear and obvious traps with no sign of even noticing how their own prejudice / double standards / lack of knowledge is being pointed out.
