Obviously stomach-churning, and good for Sen. Hassan for highlighting it, but it still could have been handled much better. Don’t interrupt your opponent to read a definition when they are busy burying themselves. Just stare at them. After a pause, point out that the truth is the opposite of that.

HASSAN: That's incorrect
