Debate Questioner Interned For Democrat

Another questioner from last night's CNN YouTube Republican debate has been found to have ties to Democrats, a congressional office confirmed today.

Ted Faturos, who asked a question about crop subsidies, was a high school intern for Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) in the summer of 2004, said Harman's chief of staff John Hess.

Faturos "has had no connection to the office or contact with the Congresswoman since,” Hess added.

A number of other debate questioners have been linked to Democrats, including retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, who asked about gays in the military and has since been tied to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
