It's surprising that Asa missed the point completely, what Liz was saying in a nutshell is that lunatics have taken over the asylum.

[justoneman]

Liz is spot on, but what she doesn’t say is our elected officials are a reflection of those who vote for them.

When we attack education for decades, what should we expect?

[davemathews]

Asa Hutchinson using his verbal skills to dance around every question pitched to him.

[tkspiece]

Could it be idiots are being elected because our society has become increasingly idiotic 🤔

[JosePereira-kxxl]

Asa is a fool. His answer should have been, “Yes, Liz is right, we have too many not serious people in office.” 😊

[UprisingConsulting]

I disagree with Liz on so many things, but she’s no dummy, and damn is she right.

[ericramsteijn]

The question that needs a serious answer is why? Why are people electing those officials.

[Chloe-gevv]

Asa flipped flopped so hard at this question while Liz alway stands up strong. The wrong ones are running.

[titusrider]

She nailed that! I have a lot of respect for her, she's demonstrated real courage. There are so many elected idiots.

[alvieroach]

It's about what kind of people want to be politicians in the first place. Where else can a sociopath be the liar they are right to people's faces with impunity?

[keysersoze]

Finally someone said it. She's being very honest and people living in reality agree with her 1000%.

[jremi]

She is absolutely right! She did not say they were ALL idiots, but electing even just one idiot is one too many.

[russellmcdonald]

You are absolutely right and the world sees this but half of your country doesn't

[gerardparker]

Her father was VP to one of them.. But this is not unusual for America.

[mr.horrorchild]

This woman is no longer an elected official and other than who her father is why are we hearing from her?

[edrowlands]

Truer words were never said. If this the best that this country has as politicians, God bless America.

[RHODOAN]

It is refreshing to hear actual honesty.

[RB]

Of course, Liz Cheney is correct. Asa, it takes one to know one.

Liz Cheney: "We're electing idiots."
