What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Daily Wire reports a debate question has Letitia James and her Republican challenger in two different worlds.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAsked what she last read, James named Jamie Raskin's January sixth memoir, Unthinkable.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHer challenger named the book she reads to her two-year-old. That is the whole story. I have covered coups with more plot.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: the toddler book wins. Two-year-olds are the toughest crowd on earth, and she gets a review every night. Zero stars, screaming.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWrong. Reading about January sixth at a debate is how you start a doom spiral. The man who wrote the book is a congressman.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody reads the sequel.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSequel?

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThere's always a sequel, Kenji. Unthinkable Two: Rethinkable.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'd want to hear the toddler book read in the room before I judge it. I judge everything in person.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI watched the clip. Seven out of ten. Points off for no rhyming.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRhyming is how they get you. Goodnight Moon reads like a ransom demand written by someone who's never met a child.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOrder. Both books are fine. The question was simple, and the answers still made two parties flinch.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNext debate: story hour. Moderator cuts your mic mid-rhyme.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe toddler would be the tougher audience.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNever once fooled. Brilliant judge of character.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBrock, tell us whether anything is falling from the sky tonight besides our standards.
