He's trying to confuse her to cover up the Republicans desire to avoid IRS going after multimillionaire tax cheats because as a millionaire himself he and his rich friends don't want to be audited. After all, the only legislation during the past 6 years passed by a Republican-controlled Congress was a tax reduction for the rich.

@johnb Why is it a horrible place? You're the one in control of where you navigate and what you watch. Social media is a conservatives best friend.

[@johnedward5520]

When people are asked a “yes or no” question and answer by acting defensive, and with long winded answers, you know there is serious dishonesty happening.

[@sculpy2758]

Most yesno questions aren't designed to be answered fairly. They're leading questions that serve the questioner. Having said that, most such questions the Rs are asking the Ds right now are appropriate to the issues and pointed to getting a needed answer. Compare to, for example, the yesno questions Dems were asking Matt Taibi and Michael Shellenberger, which had nothing to do with the issues raised by the Twitter files and were instead meant to make them self-incriminate over utter nonsense. No sane person would call Matt or Michael dishonest as they equivocated over trying to answer, for example, Wasserman-Shultz's completely predatory and inappropriate yesnos. Sometimes answering a yesno question with a yes or no completely distorts and misrepresents the issue.

[@silverhammer7779]

@@sculpy2758Exactly. A standard courtroom and interrogation tactic is to ask a complicated, multi-part question and then demand an unqualified yes-or-no answer. "Did you say XXX?" is a yes/no question. Asking "Did you mean YYY when you said XXX?" without specifying context is a question whose answer requires an explanation. Dems know this, but they use it as a vehicle for character assassination instead of as a legitimate tool to get to the truth.

I love this man. A Senator that actually does his job publicly. He does not rubber stamp any person or idea. Dr Sarin not only embarrassed YALE UNIVERSITY, the field of law & finance, not to mention the profession of a university professor. Shameful. She does not have the internal strength to STAND UP FOR HER OWN IDEAS & kept calling out "everyone" supports her views.Imaturity & inexperience is overwhelming.

[@chuckfinley3542]

She kept looking around for the “amen chorus” while she danced away from Sen. Kennedy’s questions.

[@Cheerfultoday]

Yale, Harvard, Penn and possibly the other Ivy League schools ARE embarrassments. This Sarin woman, who won’t even hold herself to journalistic standards, let alone to Ivy League standards in her reporting, sat there, rolling her eyes, wearing an expression of jocularity during a very serious matter. She kept smiling inappropriately, and can’t be taken seriously by any member of the Senate, along with however many others witnessed her pitiful conduct. And, to think, she actually believed she had shown herself to be beyond reproach. What a failure!

[@KB-ke3fi]
