On a panel with Anderson Cooper, Van Jones and Gloria Borger, CNN commentator Jess McIntosh called the Democratic presidential candidate's debate in Charleston, South Carolina was "difficult and chaotic and frustrating."

Later on Twitter, McIntosh added another take on the evening's events.


She posted in regard to the conduct of most of the male candidates:

"Sure their teams were all telling them this was their moment and they had to shout, but we know this debate just proved men are too emotional to be president."

People appreciated the old stereotype about women being turned on its head.




Some said it was strictly a cultural misunderstanding.

Although some quickly pointed out that not every man in the debate yelled as a tactic.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
