Wow, actually asking some hard questions to Republican candidates? Let me guess, they are going to fire that reporter within a few weeks.
Imagine if our (usually) awful news media asked these kinds of questions to Trump nearly 8 years ago.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nah. MSNBC won't fire him. You won't see Five-Head ever do another interview on the station ever again though.
I totally understand the sentiment and would normally agree, but Mehdi Hasan is well known for this. He doesn’t take bullshit answers, he pushes relentlessly and always has the receipts on hand. Vivek either knew going in and thought he could stand his ground (few can), or didn’t know and should fire someone himself.
That's how ALL reporters should be. Instead, the vast majority of them give out one free pass after another to Republican candidates and yet hold Democrats to impossibly high standards.
A Republican applying for Sorosbucks? Doesn't he know those belong to hard-working paid protestors?
I love this. I love how he doesn't accept the Gish Gallops. Completely railroads Vivek and his verbal diarrhea.
The guts it must take to fight against this bullshit in real time... mad respect.
Omg Vivek is so smug.
He's really learned form Trump about having it both ways on every issue.
