Carl Sagan gets asked if hes a Socialist.

YouTube

to anyone too lazy to watch the video:

he gets asked whether he’s a socialist. he says “idk what a socialist is but i support medical care for babies, sheltering homeless people, educating the population …”, he goes on for a minute, then the interviewer changes the topic and askes him “carl do you think that time travel is possible?”

Interviewer was just trying to get him to say he’s a socialist so they could demonise him but his answer was so reasonable they had to ask something distracting before the audience had time to rationally evaluate what he said.
