I think Wallace wasn’t well prepared for that interview. She should have challenged him on some of the provisions.

using different questions, but the guy was not going to answer, all he wanted was to use the word "Integrity" to remind everyone about the title of his book.

A guy has one action that can be defined as integrity and now he wants to exploit it while helping pass laws that define his lack of integrity.

Its also hard to go through all the provisions when she only has a 3:00 minute slot for the guy. She said some interesting things about it after the interview.

I'm guessing he keeps coming back since it's an opportunity to promote his book. And Nicolle has to be aware of his previous interviews, so this was her chance to ask some tough questions to pin him down. I thought she did just fine exposing his excuses and waffling. Name dropping Reagan and Bush*??

Bring on Stacey Abrams and have a real discussion. Raffensburger pushing his book on integrity and then avoiding questions was an insult to viewers.

He, like most republicans, is a fake. Yes he did something very good during the election, but he destroyed all that "integrity" with his actions afterwards.

But he did use the word "Integrity" about seven times, just a coincidence that his book's title "Integrity Counts".

Integrity counts, what an example of cognitive dissonance.
