The charge was that she was having an affair with a 20-year-old Marine.
The people who were in the audience probably still haven't stopped laughing. The video, complete with chat, is priceless.
Elizabeth Warren seems to have fared better than Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman.

In September 2024, Politico reported that Wohl and Burkman had been running a firm called LobbyMatic, which promised to apply artificial intelligence to lobbying. According to the report, the duo hid their true identities, using false names and other fabricated personas to run the company.[63] Wohl used the name Jay Klein, and Burkman was known as Bill Sanders to Lobbymatic employees.[64] LobbyMatic also claimed to have as clients several major US companies that denied ever using the firm's services.[
This is a sick bastard:
Wohl said that the veracity of the information he disseminates is not important, and that the spread of the claims and the number of people believing them was what was what mattered. He further said that he believed truth to be an outdated concept, stating that "It's something that can't be thought about in a linear, binary true-false, facts-non-facts you can't do that anymore ... It's just not the way it works".[77] He defended his attempt to manipulate elections, stating, "It is not illegal, unethical, or untoward for Americans to steer an American election".[100] Without providing any evidence, he claimed antisemitism was behind his Twitter suspension, and that it was retribution for his purported "investigation" of Representative Ilhan Omar.[100]
