That's because it's not their "agenda." It may be the agenda of some members of the CFR but not the organization as a whole. Therefore, his answer was perfectly acceptable.
Whether the agenda is the goal of all or just some members of CFR, it IS a CFR agenda and an agenda that is far too important to be unware of it or the progress already made. Hunter and Tancredo aren’t CFRers, and they are fully aware and prepared to discuss it, as should any candidate, CFRer or not.
Freds answer was acceptable. He could have hit a home run by adding that “I have heard those ideas out there. I can assure you that if I am elected as your next CIC, I would do everything in my power to see nothing like that will ever occur on my watch.”
End of story, home run for FDT. Woman neutralized.
I would be asking him where is the nearest place for me to sign up for helping on your campaign.
I guess he was not expecting that question. *sigh*
