CNN needs to explain why they included Deval Patrick and Andrew Yang in their NH town halls and not Tulsi Gabbard

After getting less than 0.5% of the vote in New Hampshire, it looks like former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will be dropping out of the race:

Patrick’s showing in the state is just embarrassing, via our partners at Decision Desk HQ:

So, why did CNN give him a town hall over Tulsi Gabbard?

Unless we missed it, CNN has never explained it:

For that matter, why did CNN give a town hall to Andrew Yang who is now out of the race? Gabbard did better than he did, too:
