C-SPAN Troll Asks Dave Brat: ‘Can I Sh** In Your Mouth?’

A caller to C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” identified only as Glenn from Utah, started his conversation with Rep. David Brat (R-VA) on Thursday with a relatively simple question about federal spending.

Then things digressed pretty quickly.

“My question is since we’re spending all this money, where are we getting the money from?” asked Glenn from Salt Lake City, before continuing: “And my second question is if I can shit in your mouth.”

Brat didn’t respond to the request. Host John McArdle apologized to the congressman and immediately moved on to discussing a tweet.

  1. See what happens when Shitburner’s mom lets him use the phone?

  2. Glenn from Utah asked that? What the Blazes is going on?

    PS. The correct answer to the caller’s question is “Not from where you’re sitting.”

  3. I used to get past call screeners on sports call in shows all the time this way. Most callers are too direct with their abuse. You need to have subtlety to get pass the three-second delay. I’d have a legitimate sounding first question to lull him into a false sense of security and then the second one would be packed with the C4, so to speak.

    Like one dude. The local college team beat someone they weren’t supposed to in a football game and the host looked like he’d been celebrating. I asked some bullshit about secondary coverage that I really didn’t give a damn about and then let fly with “Jim you look like you got HAMMERED last night. Cop cars don’t have lights redder than your eyes.” Then I got cut off.

  4. Seems redundant–he’s already full of it.
