Robert Francis @BetoORourke cannot address any of those questions @DLoesch asked because he doesn't know what the hell she's talking about.
@BetoORourke @DLoesch Again, I'm going to repeat this because it's so sadly true.

We have a culture in which everyone pretends to know everything about anything and there's no desire to actually educate themselves about the unknown, issue or someone else's culture.

Beto don't know jack about guns.
@BetoORourke @DLoesch It used to be a virtue to shut your mouth about things you don't know or understand, and realize that it's important to learn about them before you offer your useless opinion.

He's a nobody, a mediocre lawmaker riding the loser culture to a presidential primary.

It's sad.
@BetoORourke @DLoesch What has he accomplished to lift himself from mediocre status? Serious question.

Because having known puff-piece writers write puff pieces about you in Vanity Fair isn't an actual accomplishment.
@BetoORourke @DLoesch Lawmakers weren't ever expected to know everything.

But once upon a time, we held these things called hearings before passing legislation, and we'd hear from "experts" and witnesses on both sides of the aisle. That testimony actually mattered.

Now, ignorant ideologues do.
