The almost-skirmish was snuffed out, however, before it could even begin by the 82-year-old senator.

    Honestly I agree. I just don’t think that excuses the Senator from actually accepting the challenge at that time and place (or arguably any time and place, but especially that one). Two wrongs don’t make a right…

        The choice of time and place is irrelevant when the instigating party said, and I quote, “anytime, anywhere”, and then when their challenge was accepted, stood up, ready to engage in said challenge.

        In response to people saying that the Senator acted inappropriately. But perhaps I misinterpreted. Are you saying they both acted inappropriately? In which case I agree, but I’d still say tweeting a challenge is less inappropriate than actually accepting that challenge at that time and place.
