Jason Selvig of The Good Liars talked to a Trump supporter to learn his thoughts on abortion and gun control. The MAGA gentleman was wearing a T-shirt with a "Trump 45" pistol on it. Here's how the interview went:

Jason Selvig: What are your thoughts on abortion?

Trump Supporter: On abortion? I'm pro-life, so.

Jason Selvig: And if there could be more gun control that could save children's lives, would you want to pass that gun control?

Trump Supporter: How would that save children's lives? [Scratches his arm and looks a bit queasy]

Trump Supporter: [Closes eyes and shakes head before smiling nervously] Yeah… [Snickers] No, it's not. [Turns as if to make a getaway from the uncomfortable interview]

Jason Selvig: No, it is. It is.

Trump Supporter: No, it's not.
