So he can be condescending but she can't call him out on it? That's utterly ridiculous. Granted, she's an idiot for using that term, but that's an entirely different issue.
Apparently he had continuously stalled the discussion by stepping back and explaining the question in a way that suggested she simply did not understand. It's a tactic people use all the time, in fact I see it a hundred times a day on this forum alone. It's something people do when they don't really have a strong argument.
She dropped the ball by using that term and giving him something to focus on other than the actual argument.
They both looked pretty bad here.
"Mr Senator,
Your condescending tone is uncalled for and not appreciated by this audience. Furthermore, repeating the same argument over and over does not make your stance stronger or more correct. Please, let's move on."
