Beck Responds to MSNBC Host Contessa Brewer’s Humiliating Foot-in-Mouth Moment with Rep. Mo Brooks

Beck Responds to Contessa Brewers Interview With Rep. Mo Brooks

On Wednesday The Blaze reported that, during a debate on the debt ceiling, MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer mockingly asked GOP Congressman Mo Brooks if he had an economics degree – implying he lacked the expertise required to speak intelligently on the subject.

Well, it turns out the Congressman does have an economics degree. And not from just anywhere. Brooks graduated from Duke University in apparently three years with “highest honors” — meaning he more than likely graduated Summa Cum Laude.

Watch Glenn Beck‘s take on the humiliated Brewer’s foot-in-mouth moment:

You can view the original exchange between Brewer and Brooks below:

      I am wondering, does she have an economic degree which then allows her to intelligently ask questions? It is so amazing the faith we put into “degrees”. Looks like all the Ivy League grads have really gotten us into some deep do a doo.

      You wonder if she graduated from journalism school, because they probably would teach you to research the person you are interviewing before you ask them a question like that.

      How can Reid complain about Bush 3 trillions in over 5 years and then back Obama spending over 5 trillion in 3 years.
      More to the point how can these liberal progressive douches complain that Bush spending 1.6 billion a day was too much and then embrace Obama spending 4.3 billion a day and want to spend even more. The answer is simple they aren‘t CITIZEN OF AMERICA they’re members of the PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL PARTY. They could care less about the country so long as they’re party retains office.

Looked like she tried to change the conversation when she started to lose to “You’re point is well made about the long term implications of not getting a big deal done here”, trying to turn it toward Obama’s desire to have a big deal, not a small deal, and that’s not what he had said.

Dissenters were “only getting what they deserved.” As it happens, I watched the interview _before_ watching Beck’s clip. I formed my own opinions. And watching Beck, I was as much watching to see if HIS response was appropriate or not. Seems to me Beck’s audience as a whole have a higher IQ than the typical lefty. Or perhaps we just tend to use reason and critical thinking, as opposed to the hatred, anger, and emotional appeals your side uses.
