What a cheap political trick to use on a kid. Conyers almost got away with turning the question away by accusing the young girl of Conyers own bad behavior.

Manipulative, immature, and wheedling. That 13-year-old had more self-control in dealing with the situation than I've seen in probably 90% of the adults I've dealt with in a professional capacity. It doesn't matter how "frustrated" you are, it doesn't give you any "right" to act like a dumbass. The unfortunate fact is that that little girl will probably be shot down time and time again by "adults" who don't want their authority questioned. Let's hope she keeps her spirit up.
