23. I would challenge Shirley's pretzel logic...

* First, state to him that there no proof within his Tweet that he's ever read a high school English Grammar book.

* Because he has made a statement claiming knowledge of another person's shortcomings without showing any proof, the burden of proof is on his shoulders or else he should delete his Tweets. In order to have the right to say "she would not know Reagan blah, blah, blah...", then you would need to know every single thing she does know about Reagan, which is an impossible task.

* We could just as logically claim that AOC has read every book written about Raygun and he has no way to refute it. Until then, we can refute his statement by saying there's no evidence she has NOT picked up a book about Reagan.

* Shirley needs to tell us what resources he has access to that tells him what books anyone has or has not read.

Give him the full Christopher Hitchens treatment!.......

I don't do Twitter and he probably would not read anything I wrote, but it feels good to blast him on DU......
