I've seen less spin on a stationary bike.
First, he protested the protest. That's not a civics lesson. A walk-out is a protest.
Second, is it your position that a representative of the federal government is the person to be giving civics lesson to the public?
I would hope that any bastion of conservatism wouldn't want the public's view on civics dictated by any agent of the federal government. I sure as hell don't, regardless of who is in office.

And again, as apparently you missed it the first time, it's absolutely fucking hysterical that you try to default to making it about liberals. I'm not a liberal. I'm seemingly more conservative in my fiscal views than you are. Probably in my views on the Second Amendment, too.
I already told you this recently, but perhaps you need the reminder:

Does that sound like a "liberal" to you?
