"On July 20, 2011, while debating the debt crisis on her MSNBC show with Representative Mo Brooks (R-AL), Brewer defended recent deficit spending, saying "We were looking at reverting into a depression at that point." When Brooks said he disagreed, Brewer to asked "Do you have a degree in economics?" Brooks replied "Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors."[18]According to his Congressional web site, "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School."[19]After the interview, Brewer commented on her Facebook page that she "just learned why lawyers are told never to ask a question they don't know the answer to."[20]"

But, she decided not to expose him, as it would serve no journalistic purpose.
