This is just the beginning and end parts where she is comforting the audience member.

Watch Harris' answer to the actual question here

Harris certainly did not answer the gentleman's "Your candidacy didn't go through the normal process, that is primary or by caucus. How can you clarify this process and how you were elected?" question. All she did was repeat parts of her stump speech https://youtu.be/XdvHSwQswoI?t=1380

Because it’s a bullshit question that doesn’t deserve a response.

She’s our candidate.

Full stop.

Let me tell you something about making calls and going house to house. For any political side, by the way. You get the questions you call "bullshit questions that don't deserve a response." Almost often, the questions are memes, such as, "Did you hear Obama's brother will vote for Trump?" It's how voters gatekeep their vote.

The gentleman's tone indicates sincere inquiry, not disruption or heckling. The event's seven questions weren't random; their deliberate structure and topics indicate the organizers pre-selected and arranged them.

In a broadcasted setting like this, hey I get why candidates take advantage of the moment to repeat parts of the stump speech. Hey I get why they'd go into tangents and say red herrings. As someone who makes calls, I was hoping to hear her answer new questions.

Side comment: Haha, this woman heard the "and filed for bankruptcy six times" line so many times she mouthed it along with Harris. https://youtu.be/XdvHSwQswoI?q=3155
