Clark decided to try to corner Gave Evans on how he would vote on a bill that hasn't been filed by anyone yet that would strip so-called "sanctuary cities" of their federal funding. When Evans didn't answer the question to Clark's satisfaction Clark used that to bludgeon the brand new Congressman on his show. Fine, he has the right to ask whatever he wan...
