    Sadly not on camera, but Kirsten offered to arm-wrestle Wallace (I assume she put her forearm out) -- hope Fox will post the footage

    Fascinating dynamic: Gillibrand's best moments have come with Wallace as foil, not with the voters, which is opposite of many town halls I've watched.

    This, in a funny way, is the argument that Dem campaigns make about appearing on Fox News. Rare for its audience to hear a non-mocking discussion of an issue like this.

    I would not have predicted an in-depth discussion of intersectionality on Fox News this afternoon/evening.

    Exchange of the night so far and the kind of "viral" moment that Gillibrand's staff was surely seeking.

    Amazing exchange -- re: "What do you mean, our future is female," Wallace asks. Gillibrand starts answer w/ bringing in women's voices to the table. Wallace: "What about men?" Gillibrand: "They're already there - do you not know?"

    A *moment:* Gillibrand hits Fox on distorting abortion coverage of "infanticide." Wallace tells her that "not very polite" when they've given her this forum. She says she'll do it in a polite way. And continues on.

    In an interview, Michael Wolff explained why he had little use for typical fact-checking procedures. "It’s a difference between an institutional reporter and a non-institutional reporter," he told me. "I don’t have to ask the silly questions."
