Nothing matters, including facts.
The audience at Saturday's Republican presidential debate booed moderator John Dickerson when he tried to clarify when exactly Justice Anthony Kennedy was nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court. (The discussion surrounded the replacement of Justice Antonin Scalia, who died Saturday.)
Dickerson and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz squabbled over the date for a moment, but the audience seemed to want Dickerson to close his mouth.

After some back and forth, Cruz asked if he could answer the question Dickerson had asked.
"I just want to get the facts straight for the audience," Dickerson said. "I apologize."
That line got a chorus of boos. Too late to say sorry, or something.
