The DNC Chair Forum Got Weird Quickly. Here’s What Happened During The MSNBC-Hosted Event.

The Democratic National Committee chair forum quickly turned into a cringefest on Thursday night when protesters started controlling the questions, a candidate broke out into song, and every candidate agreed that former Vice President Kamala Harris lost because of “racism and misogyny.”

The forum at Georgetown University was hosted by MSNBC and three of the network’s most leftist hosts: Jen Psaki, Symone Sanders, and Jonathan Capehart. In between the outbursts of climate change protesters, eight candidates attempted to put their vision forward for a party that was blown out in the 2024 election.

It didn’t take long, however, for the forum to give way to some strange moments.

One candidate breaks into a song for her opening statement.

Dr. Quintessa Hathaway of Arkansas told the audience she wanted to give them “something that’s been on [her] heart here over the last couple days.” Hathaway then began singing, “You fight on, you fight on, you fight on. When your government is doing you wrong, you fight on.” When Hathaway finished her song, a few sympathy claps broke out in the audience.

Climate protesters derail the forum from the beginning.

It took no time for leftist climate change protesters to disrupt the forum. Immediately after MSNBC host Symone Sanders told the candidates, “I’m going to kick off our questioning tonight,” the climate activists started shouting questions, and Sanders struggled to regain control of the conversation.

Every candidate agrees that Kamala Harris lost because of “racism and misogyny.”

When journalist Jonathan Capehart asked the candidates about “racism and misogyny” depriving Harris of an election victory, everyone quickly raised their hands in agreement.

Republicans and conservative political commentators had some fun with the moment, pointing out that Democrats refuse to change their message despite the American people clearly stating that they’re fed up with the overused talking points.

A former DHS official says the Republican Party is “the biggest threat to national security.”

Speaking of overused talking points, one DNC chair candidate, Nate Snyder, doubled down on the argument that Trump and the Republican Party represent “the biggest threat” to American national security.

“We need to push back with everything we got, and my intention is to disrupt, dismantle this propaganda lying machine,” Snyder, who used to work for the Department of Homeland Security, said of the Trump administration.

Symone Sanders lets leftist protesters control the questioning.

Sanders was again interrupted by protesters later in the forum, one of whom shouted, “Democrats are still taking money from the arsonists!” while Sanders was attempting to move on to a new topic. Sanders then caved to the leftists shouting about the “climate emergency,” telling them, “Okay, let’s talk about the climate emergency … we’re going to skip ahead. Jen Psaki is going to ask about the climate. Let’s go.”

WATCH:

Another candidate claims that social media algorithms favor Republicans and ‘push down’ Democratic narratives.

With a straight face, Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, claimed that “thumbs on the scale” are likely “trying to push down Democratic narratives” and “lift up Republican narratives.” Of course, none of the MSNBC journalists nor Wikler mentioned how the opposite was true when the Biden administration pressured social media companies like Twitter and Facebook to censor conservative voices.
