When the Fox bimbo said she didn't think most of Sanders' supporters understood what socialism was, I cut it off.

Halvorssen basically destroyed her thesis that "Socialism Bad." He also described several great examples of Socialist doctrine in non-authoritarian governments and what success stories they were (Sweden, Denmark, Norway.)

The BEST PART was when Halvorssen dropped the bombshell that he had personally DONATED TO BERNIE'S CAMPAIGN!

Not at all what was planned! A lot of interrupting and ....oh look, SQUIRREL!

Priceless!
