A Cub Scout was kicked out of his den for these ‘disrespectful’ questions to a state senator
Ames Mayfield, an 11-year-old Cub Scout in Colorado, came well-prepared.
His den had been assigned the task of coming up with current events questions to ask Republican state senator Vicki Marble. After it was all over, however, Mayfield would be kicked out of his Cub Scout den for his questions.
Mayfield asked Marble questions on topics ranging from her 2013 comments about black mortality rates to a bill that would allow domestic abusers to purchase guns.
“I was shocked that you co-sponsored a bill to allow domestic violence offenders to continue to own a gun,” Ames said, according to a video posted to YouTube by his mother. “Why on earth would you want someone who beats their wife to have access to a gun?”

This kid didn't ask a question, he was reading a book. Another case of adults using children to make political attacks. This part of his question has validity but it should have been asked in a venue where the Senator could respond without being seen as a bully.

I do not like the idea of using children as political messengers. Nonetheless I would like to see the Senators response to this question.
