Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein speaks during a forum in Las Vegas on Aug. 12. Two prior specials with the Libertarian Party ticket had made few headlines but proved competitive in the ratings. The Green Party special, pitched as the latest CNN event, was more daring, elevating the ticket with the least political experience in the field and the lowest level of public support. Cuomo twice asked Baraka to explain why he had referred to President Obama as an "Uncle Tom." Later, an audience member asked Stein to explain whether she really did question the science of vaccination.
