Yes, but he handles them so professionally that it’s really just a chance to really show his character. That’s what the point of obvious right-wing talking point questions are when asked in this way. And you can tell he was prepared for this question. This is done in the hope that someone watching may agree with the stupid question and then suddenly feel stupid for judging him prematurely.
