Certain people just know more.

If you have a question about food, ask a chef. Want to know about space, listen to an astronaut. And when a WWII makes an analogy to WWII, assume they know what they’re talking about.

Someone should’ve told Politico reporter Eric Gellar, who decided to correct Former Congressman and World War II veteran John Dingell.

Comparing Trump’s cabinet picks to kamikaze pilots on Twitter, Dingell was making a fairly clear observation when Gellar decided to peak his history-splainin’ head in the mix. Well, the exchange did not go well as Gellar went down like an Axis plane in a dogfight.
