CNN will host a live town hall with progressive lawmakers Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday, October 15, the network announced Friday.

The town hall will air at 9 p.m. ET and will be moderated by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins from Washington, DC.

The event comes as the government shutdown is set to enter a third week, leaving roughly 1.4 million federal employees furloughed or working without pay. The funding lapse has already affected travel, and its impact could soon be seen on food assistance programs and the economy overall.

    I wonder how long they have left, to live?

    Trump’s going to be exterminating them, when the tipping-point is crossed.

    It’s dictatorship-101: exterminate all opponents that one can ( there are literal textbooks on dictatorship, not on how to do it, but on how it does things. This is from one of them, don’t remember which one ).

    I can’t imagine Trump tolerating them to live, once the tipping-point is crossed, & he’ll push as hard as he can, in order to push the line as far as he can, from its current position, about what he can/can’t do…

    I hope they can get the hell out, in time, when the US’s equivalent to the “Iron Curtain” is coming-down…

    Putin is Trump’s mentor, & people are ignoring that…

    Sanders is a hero, outright, for all the good work he’s done…

    ( I disagree with him on things, but he’s a hero. AOC’s got an excellently sharp mind, & I disagree with her on things, but she’s done FAR more good than harm for the US of A. Given the prejudice she’s endured, it’s entirely possible that she’s a true-hero, too. )

      I mean conservatives are the group that needs to hear them out. I already know what they’re going to say.

        What he means to say is that Republicans don’t watch CNN, they watch FOX. Moderates and misguided liberals watch CNN because they think they are more “balanced m”, but they are not they are owned by another right wing billionaire douchebag.
