Cory Booker is on the campaign trail in Iowa and holding town hall style events to talk with voters about their concerns. At a black caucus town hall in the Hawkeye state, a man in the audience mocked CNN’s town hall events, calling them “fake news.”
“If CNN is in this house, you need to take a lesson from her. This is what you call a real town hall meeting,” he said. “All that mess that CNN be doing is all fake. They already got people out in the audience already picked who they want to ask a question. It ain’t going down like that here, so CNN need to take a lesson of this.”

Booker just laughed it off, then asked him what his question was. Ironically, Booker participated in a town hall on CNN just last month.
Wonder how often CNN will play this clip :p
