I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

NBC News's Tom Llamas did an hour-long interview with Trump filled with softballs & filled with Trump lies that he didn't challenge.
Worst of all, he did not ask 1 single question to Trump about the Epstein files & the 38,000 references to Trump.
