The spectator was under the impression that it was a closed hearing - that is, a hearing that is limited to only certain select members (in this case, all Democrats). The spectator wanted to know why it was a closed hearing that only involved Democrats on the panel.
Bennie Thompson told him essentially that it wasn't a closed hearing, that Republicans were also completely free to join it, but none of them did.
Thank you :)
