Trump loyalist Congressman gets publicly HUMILIATED as debate audience erupts in laughter at his inflation excuses.
Laughter surely wasn’t the response that Congressman Andy Harris (R-MD) was expecting at his debate last night against his Democratic opponent Dan Schwartz.
Then again, it was a natural reaction from an audience sick of hearing the subservient minions of Donald Trump continue to blame Joe Biden and Democrats for the tariff- and Iran war-induced inflation that our nation has been suffering from under Trump’s watch.
The peals of laughter came as Harris was acknowledging the inescapable fact that diesel fuel prices have shot through the roof since Trump unilaterally launched his misbegotten conflict with Iran. It was Harris’s rhetorical question, and his disingenuous answer, that triggered the incredulous response of belly laughs and catcalls from the assembled crowd.
“Why has it gone up?” Harris asked. “Because the Democrats' environmental regulations have not...” It was at this point that the audience erupted, and Harris lowered his handheld microphone with a look of frustration and disgust on his face.
Turning to the debate’s moderator from the League of Women Voters, the Maryland incumbent sputtered in indignation: “Ma'am, I got to tell you…,” he said, while shaking his head.
Momentarily at a loss for words, Harris turned his attack to the very audience he was presumably trying to convince to vote for him. “Th…th…this is…this is the…this is the problem. You all say you believe there's a First Amendment, but only if you agree with you. You should let me finish the sentence, ma'am,” Harris complained, struggling to get his words out.
Then he concluded with an insult that wasn’t likely to win over any undecided voters: “You are rude!”
Given Harris’s subsequent threat to have a journalist recording the proceedings arrested, as we reported earlier, suffice it to say that the Maryland Congressman’s debate performance was disastrous.
Maryland deserves a representative in Congress who knows the real cause of high diesel prices, not one who grows indignant when the audience calls out his lies. In a few more weeks, the voters in Harris’s district will get a chance to reject his falsehoods and elect a Democrat who will fight to stop the daily insanities of the Trump administration. Let’s make sure that they all get to the polls!
