Such arguments have no meaning for libs/donks/Dems/ statists because they know with absolute certainty that they are right no matter what the evidence says.

What is true doesn’t matter. They have a pathetic need to be better than anyone else, and therefore their opponents are not intelligent persons of integrity with whom they disagree, they’re un-American racist Nazi teabagger Neanderthals. All those years of public shrieking that they were being suppressed and that their motives and patriotism were being impugned, and this is how they act when in possession of the bully pulpit.

It’d be comical if they weren’t convinced that this is the time for the reordering of society along their statist, collectivist ideals. Goldberg will get over her momentary discomfort, and in fact is certainly even now reconstructing the exchange so that she dominates it, and McCardle is recast as the dunce. One thing I will bet a paycheck on, and it’s that she is NOT saying “hey, maybe I was wrong about that…”
