Challenges with the Political Use of Questions
The speaker recounts a situation where a senator asked a question about the Bonneville Power, and after providing an honest answer, the senator publicly opposed the speaker's nomination. This experience has led the speaker to develop a distrust of questions in politics, believing that questions are not a relevant or useful tool for genuine connection, but rather an offensive tool that can back people up and be used to win cases.
