Five Of The Craziest Moments From The CNN Tuesday Night Democratic Debate (VIDEOS)
By Aleister – JULY 31, 2019
The first night of the second 2019 Democratic debate on CNN had some wild moments.
We’re not going to bother with the moments the candidates or the CNN audience liked.
We want to point out some of the crazier moments that will probably be overlooked by the media.
Here are five examples.
5. Marianne Williamson
While talking about Democrats taking corporate donations, Williamson invoked a joke from Seinfeld and suggested that voters are going to “yadda, yadda, yadda, right over them. Watch:
4. Pete Buttigieg
When the subject of the minimum wage came up, Pete Buttigieg, who frequently implies that he is more Christian than anyone else, suggested that you are not a decent Christian if you don’t support raising the minimum wage. Watch:
3. Don Lemon
CNN host Don Lemon was included as a moderator in this debate for some reason. He is not a journalist, he is an opinion guy and he absolutely hates Trump. He made that crystal clear with this question. Note the wording:
2. John King
John King, another CNN host, said something factual in his post-debate analysis. He suggested that this field of candidates is further left than any Democrat who has ever won the presidency, including Obama. Watch:
1. Elizabeth Warren
When asked a direct question about whether her healthcare plans would raise taxes on the middle class, Warren refused to give a straight answer. What a surprise. Watch:
Bonus: Bernie Sanders
Bernie got louder and louder as the night went on and Tim Ryan commented on it.
What a clown show.
Video: On Eve of Debates, People in Detroit Struggle to Name Democrat Presidential Candidates
By Kristinn Taylor
Man-and-woman on the street interviews in Detroit done on the eve of this week’s two-night Democratic Party presidential debates show that even the front running candidates are not very well known among voters.
The interviews were conducted by Spectrum News reporter Lindsay Oliver and posted by Spectrum to Twitter. The debates, hosted by CNN, are airing Tuesday and Wednesday night with ten candidates each night.
In the video, Oliver holds up official photos of the candidates for people to identify. It does not go well for the candidates. However, it is not a total disaster for the Democrats as some voters do recognize more than one candidate and some know what the candidate they support looks like–even if they don’t know the candidate’s name.
Spectrum is providing all-day coverage of the debates.
Even leading candidate Joe Biden, former two-term vice president who served in the Senate for decades, goes unrecognized by a Democrat voter.
O’Rourke debate guests are black men who kneeled for anthem
By Errin Haines Whack
When Democrat Beto O’Rourke takes the stage in the second round of presidential primary debates on Tuesday, three young black men from Michigan who were inspired by ex-NFL player Colin Kaepernick to kneel during the national anthem before their high school football games will be in the audience as guests of the former Texas congressman.
O’Rourke reached out to ex-Lansing Catholic High School football players Michael Lynn III, Matthew Abdullah and RoJe Williams and spoke with them by phone last week. Teammate Kabbash Richards is away at college and unable to attend the debate.
O’Rourke, whose defense of NFL players who chose to take a knee to protest police brutality and racism went viral in 2018, learned of the men’s story and found them through “general local outreach,” his campaign said.
In a statement to The Associated Press on Monday, O’Rourke said the four “have served their community in one of the most American ways possible.”
As a Democratic primary candidate, O’Rourke has been outspoken on issues of race, particularly white identity and privilege. Earlier this month, he revealed that he and his wife, Amy, recently discovered they have ancestors who owned slaves.
As players at Lansing Catholic, the four took a knee together in 2017. Lynn, the team captain, said he decided to kneel after watching Kaepernick, a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, and thinking about the racism he dealt with as one of a handful of black students at his high school.
“I was a senior. I was getting to the age where I wanted to say something,”said Lynn, who recalled trying to speak up when his white teammates would make inappropriate jokes or comments.
Lynn and his teammates were benched for their protest, and eventually Lynn and Abdullah transferred to other high schools.
It was nearly a year later that Lynn’s mother sent him the video of O’Rourke’s remarks, in which the then-Senate candidate explained to a mostly white crowd that Kaepernick’s protest was about focusing attention on the killings of unarmed black men by law enforcement.
“I can think of nothing more American than to peacefully stand up or take a knee for your rights anytime, anywhere or anyplace,” O’Rourke said to applause at an August 2018 campaign event that quickly went viral, thrusting the obscure O’Rourke into the national spotlight and propelling him to a 2020 presidential run.
Lynn recalled feelings of affirmation after watching the video.
“People on the other side of it make us feel like we’re not as American as them,” Lynn said. “The fact that he said that and feels that way, from his heart, that was really powerful. That’s what put Mr. O’Rourke on my radar.”
The three men have reached voting age and will meet O’Rourke for the first time Tuesday night.
Lynn said he is undecided about whom to vote for but looks forward to shaking O’Rourke’s hand and seeing all the candidates in person.
“That’s going to be cool,” Lynn said.

This story has been corrected to show O’Rourke found the men through local outreach, not after one of their families donated to his campaign; the teammate’s name is spelled Kabbash, not Kabbalah; and the teammate was not on the phone call.
VIDEO: Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke Calls Trump Racist, Supporters Nazis, Rally ‘Nuremberg Rally’
Robert Francis is not a fan of President Trump or his supporters.
By Tom Pappert
In an appearance on ABC’s “The Briefing Room”, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke called President Donald Trump racist, alluded that his supporters are closeted Nazis, and compared his recent North Carolina rally to the Nuremberg Rallies of Nazi Germany.
While appearing on “The Briefing Room”, O’Rourke condemned President Trump as a racist for the comments the president made about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who has repeatedly made anti-American and anti-Semitic comments during her brief time in Congress.
“Yes, President Trump is a racist. What we saw in North Carolina last week was almost an impromptu Nuremberg rally,” said O’Rourke. “Inciting hatred, and untimely I think, implicit in that, is violence against people based on the color of their skin, based on their religion, based on their difference from the majority of Americans.”
O’Rourke also doubled down on some of the left’s favorite lies about President Trump, namely, that the president referred to all Mexican immigrants as “rapists and criminals”, when he was referring to a subset of illegal immigrants, that President Trump claims all asylum seekers are lying to gain asylum status, and that President Trump defended the Ku Klux Klan after the 2017 events in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“And it is in keeping with the president who describes Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, who describes asylum seekers as animals or an infestation, who says that Klansmen are very fine people,” said O’Rourke. “It’s very clear the path that he is taking us on, and we either willingly submit to that, we are complicit in our silence, or we stand up against it.”
O’Rourke also lambasted what he views as silence from members of Congress regarding President Trump’s speech, even though several prominent globalists including Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) publicly denounced President Trump for his speech.
“Silence, especially from members of Congress, who hold a position of public trust and power,” said O’Rourke.
After slamming congressional Republicans, O’Rourke promised retribution for President Trump’s mean words.
“Silence is complicity in what President Trump is doing,” O’Rourke went on. “And there will be accounting, there will be a reckoning, there will be justice for this sooner or later.”
O’Rourke is currently polling at 0.0 per cent in the battleground state of New Hampshire as his campaign fumbles in the darkness.
The poll of 351 registered New Hampshire voters places O’Rourke at 0 per cent, with precisely zero poll respondents listing his name. Above O’Rourke are Washington Gov. Jay Inslee with a poll frequency of one, sex cult-affiliated Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand with a frequency of four, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard with a frequency of four.
Sen. Cory Booker also has a frequency of four, and is beat by Black Magic Woman Marianne Williamson who has a frequency of five. Sen. Amy Klobuchar almost breaks into double digits, with a frequency of 9.
If you are noticing a pattern, it is that virtually nobody cares for the vast majority of Democrats within the state of New Hampshire.
Perhaps O’Rourke, who lost to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in the 2018 midterm elections despite nonstop favorable media coverage and support from virtually every Hollywood celebrity of note, believes calling President Trump “a racist” will reignite the embers of his failing campaign.
