Almost three hours into the Democratic debate Tuesday night, neither the presidential candidates nor viewers seemed all too impressed when CNN host Anderson Cooper wrapped up the night with a question about Ellen DeGeneres and George W. Bush s friendship despite not bringing up climate change once.
Last week, Ellen Degeneres was criticized after she and former President George W. Bush were seen laughing together at a football game. Ellen defended their friendship, saying, Were all different and I think that weve forgotten that thats OK, that were all different, Cooper said at the conclusion of the debate. So in that spirit, wed like you to tell us about a friendship that youve had that would surprise us and what impacts its had on you and your beliefs.
The Daily Show was quick to mock the moment with a picture of the faces of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Vice President Joe Biden :

you're eight hours into the debate and Anderson Cooper asks a question about Ellen pic.twitter.com/19orEhk50U
The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) October 16, 2019
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julin Castro , who was the first to answer the question on stage, tweeted several suggestions for a more useful question:

Three hours and no questions tonight about climate, housing, or immigration.
Climate change is an existential threat. America has a housing crisis. Children are still in cages at our border.
But you know, Ellen.#DemocraticDebate

But you know, Ellen.#DemocraticDebate
California Sen. Kamala Harris , another candidate on the stage, also tweeted to point out issues that were neglected:
Three hours.
Not one question about the climate crisis.
Not one question about LGBTQ+ rights.
Not one question about immigration.
These issues are too important to ignore. #DemDebate

And Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who dropped out of the presidential race earlier this year after launching a campaign focused around climate action, chimed in too:
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
This is the existential crisis of our time. Not one single question, and thats completely inexcusable. #DemDebate
Not one single question about the climate crisis.

Not one single question about the climate crisis.
Not one single question about the climate crisis.
This is the existential crisis of our time. Not one single question, and thats completely inexcusable. #DemDebate
Viewers on Twitter werent too pleased with the question either, given immigration, climate change, housing poverty, LGBTQ issues and various other topics were entirely neglected in the Tuesday night debate:
Hey, lets do 20 closing minutes on that Ellen/Bush meme thing. Immigration and climate change can wait until the next debate, if the world is still here.
