But she rebutted him really cleverly too and he was irritated. Between her and Charles Blow quite a lot of his smugness got called out.

Ms. Porter said she was glad Maher's mom didn't have a an abortion even though the panel was having to deal with the result of that decision. He was being kind of pissy prior to that.
