President Donald Trump Judicial Pick Struggles With Basic Legal Queries | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

When trump said “best people, ” he doesn’t mean best for the country, he means best as his puppet.

[JSythe]

Those men are just as qualified as trump.

[jwrizza]

This judicial pick is qualified to be a judge as much as trump is qualified to be president

[terr]

"No, but I watched Law and Order". (Dun dun) You're HIRED!

[deicidusoptimus]

OMG !!! This is how he drains the swamp ? By adding these slimy toads ?

[JSythe]

Watch out! Those men could be the next president!

[traceurjay]

A Trump nominee? Seems a bit overqualified.

[marquamfurniture]

Ouch!  This was excruciating to watch. Beyond humiliating. Why even bother to show up? Did Matthew Petersen think he was attending a birthday party?

[StarstruCk]

woooow!! he was better off saying "Me No English" ....jesus christ

[tenacious]

Shouldn't experience in ANY capacity be required?

[SkyPe]

Every day we move closer to an Idiocracy. That movie was prophecy.

[anchorskid]

UVA graduated this guy? This is like DT saying during the campaign that he knew more than all the generals. Trump thinks this guy is sufficiently worthy of this prestigious position that he nominated him? For a lifetime appointment? One more indicator that we are all in so much trouble with DT at the helm!

[jasonw]

Wait, hold on, that guy went to law school? Your kidding me right? Did he go to Trump U? He may want to seek a refund because he surely didn't learn anything.

[brodie-tzu]

Oh my God... did he even go to law school 😦😱 This is shocking.

[dragoonlordz]

12 on a purely partisan vote most of which are extremely unqualified for the role. Their only qualification was extreme right wing views and loyalty to Trump. Federal judges need to be unbiased and as non-partisan as possible, none of Trumps nominations are anywhere close to that.

[qhsperson]

Obama was hampered by nominating only qualified people and also by having to fight our lovely Republican Congress, who refused to give Obama's nominees a fair hearing (if they got a hearing at all--remember Merrick Garland) while rubber-stamping Trump's nominees.

[mottbone]

Trump: "... We don't want people who are B level, C level, D level...
Nope... we want the flunkies.
You My level!"

[RDGray]

Another perfect lacky for this Administration.

[amazingsparckman]

He's a qualified as donald to be president. No experience. Imagine trusting your funds to entertainer and not a qualified fund manager. Well, why let an entertainer run the country. LOL.

There is a reason why I hire a human resource manager to do the hiring.

[daryaionesco]

Why did he even show upo? What did he think was going to happen.
