"ill ask u to restrict ur answers to exactly what I want to weasle u into saying"

[karenogborn-warren]

You asked her a question but won’t let her answer. Yep that politics for ya.

[sharongallagher]

She answered it beautifully & factually. 👍

[garretomalley]

She answered your question. I stand with her argument. 50(+1 if you recognize our territories). And note DC is not recognized

[DiggerWhoops]

She answered your question very directly!

[Nigelrathbone]

Corruption of the use of the word "access". Just a sleazy manipulation by a slick southern country lawyer.

[seansartor]

Ah she's RIGHT. Washington DC is the perfect example of taxation without representation. Hey wasn't that the theme of the Revolutionary War

[ramonaritz]

Amazes me how uninformed the people are in regards to how our government is to be run. That is what happens when you give to people who bite off your hand! What fools We The People have been! We have thrown our pearls before swine!

[DarkDealingsParanormal]

She eloquently answered his question. And…that had to hurt.

[TAGGdinc]

She didn’t answer his question at all the answer is yes or no

[seshansmith]

Do these people actually think about what they're saying? Or is it they just like to get these stupid sound bites for their supporters to act like they're doing anything for them in government

[yoshiparker-lwqs]

America folks when you are right you are told to be silent

[kevintsetse]

This guy is Donald Trump's Heinrich Himmler.

[chestercleveland]

Clay Higgins what a WASTE of the tax payers MONEY

[dmrkkla]

The archetype of a Republican's intellect.

[ballershanelle]

Yesss, DC has no say but right in the backyard

[poeticjustice]

It makes no sense to argue in any way against statehood.

[yukojax]

It's Bowser, not Dowser! Just saying.
I worked in DC, I'm not a liberal but she is a good mayor!
Another fact, our capitol cannot ve in a state. This is a ploy by the liberals to get more senate and house seats.

[yoshiparker-lwqs]

Wow we are truly the land of the free....that was sarcasm

[AJG]

“I ask you to restrict your answers to my questions” 😂 what a joke.
