An awkward moment straight out of The Naked Gun unfolded at Wednesday night's 2020 Democratic presidential primary debates, after the microphones belonging to the first hour's moderators were left on while they were backstage.
As second hour moderator Chuck Todd began to ask a gun control question, former moderators José DÃaz-Balart and Savannah Guthrie could be heard having a conversation backstage which included the phrases "I need to go to the restroom" and "someone's got my binder."
A visibly steamed Todd turned to fellow moderator Rachel Maddow and said "We are hearing our colleagues audio. If the control room could turn off the mics of our previous moderators...," making the best of it.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
