Counterpoint: if she follows up and gets a reputation for doing so, she will lose access to guests she can challenge. Currently she asks a tough question and the guest is forced to lie, squirm, and do contortions, and it’s on video for all to see!

So…let them continue their lying and putting the liars on these media platforms and we can say they’re liars, or they’re lying. Why give them that platform. Let’s put truth tellers on instead and we won’t have to sift through the lies to get to the truth. Or, call out their lies, make them squirm.
