As an Australian, I really don't comprehend American politics. It's so divisive and it seems anyone can say anything they like, unsupported by evidence, and no one challenges their statements. It's a mockery of true democracy. Do you have no laws against incitement?

[Oldworldranch]

One thing I can say, is I really appreciate that these two women were able to have a conversation where they didn’t speak over each other constantly

[motakabon]

Back and forth was amazing and respectful it was amazing. Truth be told!!

Meet the Press needs to go off the air.

Elise Stefanik is a strong, and truthful advocate for New York, and would serve America greatly in any capacity. 👍

So if was a beautiful, day, like a picnic, why is Johnson blurring faces, from videos of January 6th. Disgraceful.

Have any of the rest have you ever noticed how many incompetent people you can encounter in a day if you simply look?

[Eric-qvrz]

Love this!! Put this interviewer in her place😂😂

[joepenalvert]

She keeps repeating the same bs over and over

[A_DIFFERENTxPERSPECTIVE]

Gotta love it when they argue against their own words😂

[humbleguyky]

Notice how the reporter just leaves out facts

[thomasd]

I as a conservative I find the rhetoric against free speech even as it may be insulting, obnoxious, annoying, or offensive to be completely hypocritical. The right is either for free speech or it's not.

[markwyattsr]

After this interview anyone can clearly see just why they NO LONGER say Proud as a peacock ???

[gracebowman]

🇺🇸🙌This Congress Woman is a ROCKSTAR 🙌🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏👏So well spoken! Thank God for her🙏🙌🇺🇸👏👏👏

[camps]

What an example of a strong American woman. No "pity me, me the victim" AOC like mentality. Just a controlled, confident, and smart person. I am pleasantly surprised the host was actually interviewing and not debating, mostly. Great job by both.

Karma will catch up to this evil person.

Nov 3, 4, 5, 6, of 2020 those were tragic days where an election was stolen right in front of everyone.
