Monday night was CNN’s gooey town hall with Senator and presidential candidate Kamala Harris (D-CA) moderated by Jake Tapper. And as my NewsBusters colleague, Curtis Houck noted on Twitter, “Parkland Town Hall Jake is here tonight to moderate this #HarrisTownHall.” In all, there were 16 questions posed to Harris from the audience and all but two of them came from purely leftist positions. The remaining two came from a neutral position with none from the right.

From the beginning, Tapper made it seem as though the Iowa town hall (which was held at Drake University) was going to address the prescreened questions and concerns from many different positions, but that turned out not to be the case. The questions themselves ranged from asking Harris to reaffirm her commitment to liberal positions to some really radical “eat the rich” kind of stuff.

The first question came from Drake University graduate student Lindsey Hornbaker and it came in hot from the left:

Senator Harris, racism has always been a problem in the United States. And the current administration relies heavily on fear-based tactics to justify racist policies that are further segregating us as a nation. We're creating an environment where people feel emboldened to say and do harmful things to people of color, to immigrants, and to the LGBTQ community. As the president of a new administration, what would you plan to do to make America safer for these people?

Riley Fink, a senior at Drake University, had the second question and the first far-left one. Fink grilled the far-left liberal Senator for her supposed contradictory stance on criminal justice reform and accused her of “embracing” the “tough on crime mentality.”

Several minutes later, Tapper all but proved the town hall was geared solely towards Democrats when he hyped the latest CNN/Des Moines Register Iowa poll. “[M]ost Democrats in this state say it's more important to them that the winner of the Iowa caucuses be a candidate who can beat President Trump, than it is that the individual be somebody who shares all of their positions,” he reported to the thunderous applause of the “rowdy crowd.”

“If you would have to debate the current President, how does that conversation go without becoming reactive? How do you stay on your message and not get caught up in his crazy,” the next questioner asked.

Throughout the town hall, Harris received softball questions on everything from climate change to gun control to health care. One woman even thanked her for smearing Justice Brett Kavanaugh. But the most far-left question came from Drake University law student Joshua Hughes. “My question for you tonight is simple,” he proclaimed. “In a society where nearly one in five children live in poverty, is the existence of multi-billionaires morally defensible?”

The two neutral questions came back to back in the final moments of the town hall. First came Eliza Dy-Boarman, a pharmacy professor at Drake, who wanted to know how Harris’s heritage as a daughter of immigrants shaped her character and her perspective. Finally, fitness instructor Donna Bura simply wanted to know: “What is the very first thing you would do as president of the United States?”

To his credit, the four questions Tapper posed to Harris were more evenly spread out: one from the left, two neutrals, and one from the right. But, the liberal media routinely decried President Trump for supposedly only catering to his base. The Harris town hall was just more of that but from the left.
