Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday the second Democratic presidential debate was a contest “between liberals and socialists,” rejecting the media’s portrayal of some of the candidates as moderates.
“The headlines across the country say that the story last night was that moderates in the Democratic Party were pushing back in the debate,” Mr. Pence told an audience of young conservatives in Washington. “You know, it’s pretty amazing what the media calls ‘moderates’ these days. Last night’s Democratic debate wasn’t between moderates and liberals; it was between liberals and socialists.”

Midway through Tuesday night’s CNN Democratic primary debate, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) told Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders that he didn’t “have to yell” anymore, the Daily Beast reports.

The exchange began when Ryan claimed Sanders’ plan to end new gas-powered car sales by 2040 was unrealistic. The independent senator fired back: “I get a little bit tired of Democrats afraid of big ideas,” Sanders exclaimed. “Republicans are not afraid of big ideas. They could give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to billionaires and profitable corporations, they can bail out the crooks on Wall Street so please don’t tell me that we cannot take on the fossil fuel industry!”

The Federal Reserve today reduced interest rates for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis, Bloomberg reports. Central bankers voted to decrease the interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point in response to slowing global growth.

President Donald Trump attacked CNN host Don Lemon on Wednesday for asking Democratic presidential candidates questions about the president’s racist statements while moderating the primary debate Tuesday night. “CNN’s Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television, insinuated last night while asking a debate ‘question’ that I was a racist, when in fact I am ‘the least racist person in the world,’” Trump tweeted, quoting a declaration he made the day before.

Hamza bin Laden, the son of and possible successor to terror kingpin Osama bin Laden, is dead, a new report said Wednesday.
The US has gathered intelligence that the al Qaeda leader’s son had died, NBC News reported, citing a trio of US officials.
The sources would not discuss details of where or when the younger bin Laden died or whether the US played a role in his demise, and President Trump declined comment at the White House.

The Hamas terrorist organization is strengthening relations with Iran at their expense, Israel’s military liaison to the Palestinians told Gaza residents on Tuesday in a video message.
IDF Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Kamil Abu Rokon said in the message that last week senior Hamas terrorist Saleh al-Arouri declared that “Hamas is Iran’s front line of defense,” and that on Tuesday Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi declared the “establishment of a united military front” stretching from Tehran to Gaza.
“This is just the beginning—and only you will decide the ending,” Rokon told Gaza residents.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said on Tuesday that the Trump administration supports “Palestinian autonomy,” but does not use the phrase “two-state solution” as it works to develop a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“We believe in Palestinian autonomy,” Friedman told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “We believe in Palestinian self-governance. We believe that the autonomy should be extended up until the point where it interferes with Israeli security.”
