CNN debate moderator Anderson Cooper kicked off Tuesday night's Democratic presidential debate by grilling the party's front-runner, Hillary Clinton, on her alleged reversal of positions on a host of issues.

After candidates' introductions, Cooper turned to Clinton and confronted her over perceived shifts in positions on immigration, same-sex marriage, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

"Plenty of politicians evolve on issues, but even some Democrats believe you change your positions based on political expediency," he said.

"Will you say anything to get elected?"

Clinton rejected Cooper's characterization.
