CNN reportedly told the Trump town hall audience that they could applaud but they could not ‘boo’.
According to Matthew Bartlett, a Republican political consultant:
“The floor manager came out ahead of time and said, Please do not boo, please be respectful. You were allowed to applaud. And I think that set the tone where people were going to try their best to keep this between the navigational beacons, and that if they felt compelled to applaud, they would, but they weren’t going to have an outburst or they weren’t going to boo an answer.”
I was in support of CNN hosting the town hall, but I was critical of the makeup of the audience because it gave a false impression of what Americans thought of Trump’s remarks.
