MS NOW ANCHOR: This weekend, New Jersey Republican Tom Kean Jr. debated his challenger, Democrat Rebecca Bennett, and the audience found his stance on Iran funny. 

Debate Host: I’m going to read you a list of statements and ask that you both simply give a thumbs up if you agree, or a thumbs down if you disagree…Number two, ‘We are winning the war with Iran.’

Rebecca Bennet: *thumbs down*

Tom Kean Jr.: *thumbs up* Yes we are.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
