So what was the problem in asking the question? :hippy:
It's the abrasiveness of how the question was asked. Rather than pinpoint ask specific questions of the campaign's policies in comparison with Marxism/Socialism, she asked it in a fashion that is slanderous, as if the campaign itself was the communist party. She asked him to "defend" his policies assuming that his policies are exactly aligned to marxism as 100% factual. She should cite specific examples when asking these questions. This isn't the 50s anymore. Anyone with dignity wouldn't subject themselves to such abrasiveness that is intended for slander rather than insight.
