A town hall analysis breaking down the policies Kamala Harris was asked about Wednesday night abruptly flipped into a discussion about the inconsistencies in how the vice president and Donald Trump are being treated, with one CNN panelist declaring: Theyre not taking the same exam.
He gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless. Thats what's unfair. That's what's unfair tonight, said former Obama White House official Van Jones. They're not taking the same exam. Look, she has policies, she may not articulate them perfectly every time
but shes fighting for actual ideas that will help real people and hes talking about peoples penises, and so they are not taking the same exam and thats pissing people off its pissing me off.
The moment came just after Harris wrapped up a town hall with CNNs Anderson Cooper that was originally scheduled as a presidential debate before Trump dropped out and later refused to commit to holding his own town hall with the network.
While the issue of a double standard between the two presidential candidates emerged early on in the networks post-debate analysis and flared up on social media it was former Trump adviser David Urbans criticism of Harris comments involving her openness to ending the filibuster for Roe v. Wade purposes that fired up Jones.
