"I guess he has to do that."

No he doesn't Chris, but the fact that he does reveals exactly what an ambitious, self-interested phony Pence really is.

and turned to CNN. Every now and then I try to watch Tweety, but I never make it more than a few minutes. He is obnoxious.

He wouldn't let his guests finish explaining, but kept interrupting them, saying he wanted to know what Antifa is while the guests were in the middle of trying to tell him! I guess he wasn't getting the answer he wanted. He snapped at one of them, saying "I ask the questions on this show!" He can be a total douche sometimes, and this was one of those times.

It's not just on this subject, he seems to do it all the time. He can't shut his yap sometimes.

he was particularly pissy tonight. His stock and trade is to ask a question and then keep
blathering on before allowing a guest to answer or let them start to answer and then cut in before they even get started. He was especially impatient and was all but brow beating his guests to tell him what antifa is. The gentleman, who seemed to have a point to make about them, was all but ignored and his frustration was obvious. He finally wedged himself into the conversation and was able to explain what he knows --- but it was only due to his persistence.

Does no one ever tell Tweety to call off his dogs and let his guests answer his questions? I'd love to get a peek at some of his emails from viewers.

Every now and then someone really puts Tweety in his place but most of the time THEY back down while he chatters on. But you'd think by now somebody would tell him he'd have a much bigger audience if he just wasn't so rude! I've read more people here at DU that despise him and refuse to watch him, not for his views so much but rather because he is just such a royal jackass.

who tend to be the ones taking on Globalization. At least his guests were trying to set him straight, pointing out that they were there protecting clergy members.
