I must say, if I was this woman, I would go into hiding for a while after she was totally annihilated by Neil Cavuto yesterday. She showed her true colors when she was hard pressed for a simple answer from a simple question. She could not come up with a answer. I don't know which is worse, Rep Sheila Jackson Lee who said 'Entitlements are Earned' or this woman.

‘Shut Up!’ Neil Cavuto and Dem Rep. Battle it Out in Must See Interview | Video | TheBlaze.com


Cavuto repeatedly pressed Rep. Johnson for specifics on what Democrats would be willing to cut as part of a budget agreement.


“No, you told me things you’d do to raise taxes. That’s what you told me. Credits, allowances, that sort of stuff. That’s what you told me,” Cavuto said.

“You’ve got to talk about revenue generation,” the congresswoman replied.

“I know that, but it’s 100 percent of what you’re talking about, congresswoman,” said Cavuto.

“It is not 100 percent of what I’m talking about. If you’d shut up for just a second, I would try,” she responded.

Cavuto shot back: “You got to tell me one thing you’d cut. I beg you congresswoman, one thing you would say, I would cut this. What would it be?”

Rep. Johnson thought for a moment and responded: “You.”

A pause.

“You don’t know, do you?” asked Cavuto.

How did she get on the show? Obviously she's not generally recognized by viewers (and I had never heard of her before this), so she's not an obvious choice for a guest. Did Fox pick out the weakest link?

People sent this woman to be their rep in congress and she could not answer a simple question ? if that was too much heat she does not belong representing anyone. Hopefully the people in her district will see the interview and give themselves one of these

I see a lot of that on Fox - particularly O'Reilly. It's basically the reason I quit watching him. On the rare occasion - someone high ranking with intelligence - agreed to be on his show~ he often wouldn't even let them talk.

So - no.

Going on to any talk show is not an opportunity to filibuster.

When you agree to an interview, you should answer questions.

It's quite simple...."Congresswoman, what would you cut?" She clearly has no intentions of supporting any cuts in anything but defense. She couldn't even say that!

No they won't.

They do not want any cuts....they want their entitlements.

You are painting with too broad of a brush, I would bet there are some staunch fiscal conservatives in her district that did not support her and want cuts. There could be some {D}s that are embarrassed that she could not name any considering wasteful spending and program duplication.
