The 3 against 1 (Harris and the 2 “Moderators”) ABC News Debate against Donald Trump

I’m DISGUSTED.  DISGESTED.   I’m ASHAMED of those moderators at ABC News.  They did exactly what their bosses at ABC wanted them to do.   The person who runs ABC News is A CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF KAMALA HARRIS.  …  It was 3 against 1 on that debate stage tonight.  It’s very easy to look like you know what you’re doing when both moderators are entirely on your side. …  Trump tried to take them all on [and] did fine, the best that he could.  This was a mistake to trust ABC News.  … The Democrats never agree to do ANYTHING without moderators they do not ENTIRELY trust.  Those two moderators tried to sink Donald Trump tonight.  The numerous ‘fact checks’ on what he said and NONE on what she said.  … And she lied repeatedly.   [The moderators] accused Trump of lying even when it was [only] their OPINION.  And they did it to him over and over and over again.  And their ‘fact checks’ were full of shit’.  I’m mad at my news industry which I want nothing to do with.  They’re trying to STEAL this election.  They’re openly working to sink him [Trump].   …  [Kamala] has been reminded that her little pets in the media will run cover for her. …  I do not think she won the debate because I think your average viewer at him recognizes that it was 3 against 1.  Nobody likes an unfair contest.   And I don’t think American women are going to like the repeated personal insults she hurled at him.  She was small and she was petty.  … I didn’t think they’d be this biassed.  I thought they’d worry about their reputations.

She [Kamala] did the Charlottesville lie.  No fact check.  She did the “bloodbath lie”.  No “fact check”!  The moderators were a disgrace.  Horrendous moderation.  … It’s a total abuse of their role as moderators.

‘ABC [News] is a disgrace’: Biased moderators blasted as they turn on Trump during debate.  [Among other thing] Harris peddled the Charlottesville lie [that Trump praised Nazis and White Supermacists at the Charlottesville protest] that [has been] debunked by Snopes with absolutely no questioning by the moderators.  And there was no pushback when Harris pushed the [debunked Trump] “bloodbath” remark [because Trump was not talking about literal blood but about the economy].

ABC is a disgrace. My phone is lighting up with nonstop messages about how extremely biased ABC is during this debate. Kamala Harris is VP RIGHT NOW. People can’t afford anything RIGHT NOW. The border is out of control RIGHT NOW. But ABC is in attack mode against Trump!

We had moderators where were clearly biassed who were constantly fact-checking Donald Trump but none of these whoppers [Kamala Harris] was saying, and none about her failure to answer that first question, that very very critical first question [on the economy, whether people are better off than they were four years ago], they [the moderators] simply sat on the sideline and let that pass.

Listen: Caller Reports Haitian Migrants Harvesting Geese From The Park In Springfield, Ohio.  In this audio obtained by The Federalist, a Springfield, Ohio man reports seeing a group of Haitian immigrants harvesting waterfowl at a park in the Columbus suburb. A police report was later filed about the incident that former President Trump brought up in Tuesday night’s debate.

Real Clear Politics, Sept. 11, 2024

In my opinion, no one won Tuesday’s debate.  Both candidates looked shaky at times, and it is hard to predict how voters will process the display.

Once again, Vice President Harris refused to answer specific questions about how she would solve the many problems Biden has created, such as open borders, punishing prices for consumers, Gaza, Ukraine, and social disorder. Kamala had nothing.  The only concrete thing she said was that she would give away trillions of federal dollars to help various people.

She even dodged the simplest question: is the country better off than it was four years ago?

The moderators, especially Linsey Davis, served up questions designed to put Trump on the defensive, …

ABC /Disney is a liberal network, and that was on full display.  Ms. Davis loathes Mr. Trump.

Summing up: Not a good night for the home of the brave.  That’s the real outcome of the debate.

Bill O’Reilly, Sept. 10, 2024

ABC should be ASHAMED of themselves, 1. Where was the question for Kamala about casting the tie breaking vote for inflation (American Rescue Plan etc.)? 2. Where was the question for Kamala about wanting taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal immigrants? 3. Where was the question about Tim Walz allowing babies born alive after abortion to die in Minnesota and then removing reporting requirements NONE – they only prepped TRUMP FACT CHECKS!

Social media erupts over ‘repulsive’ Trump-Harris presidential debate: ‘Phony and rehearsed’ 

Many on social media criticized the performance of the ABC moderators.

“My debate score: trump – 3 moderators – 9 harris – N/A,” Fox News host Greg Gutfeld posted on X. 

Yahoo News, Sept. 11, 2024

Trump did not win the debate but I think he won the election with an assist from ABC because it was so in the tank for Harris that it was repulsive. Voters [saw] Harris dodge every question that was even slightly difficult and tried to erase her record and Biden’s. Voters expected accountability on the economy, inflation and border but got an ABC buffet of lefty agenda journalism that will not cover for the failures of the past 3.5 years.

Radio Host Hugh Hewitt, Sept. 11, 2024

The Democrat “News”-media Colluders are thrilled that many saw Kamala Harris as the winner of the rigged ABC News Trump-Harris debate, with 3 against 1 (both moderators and Kamala Harris against Trump).  However, the unfair nature of the debate was obvious to many viewers.  Social media exploded after the debate with numerous remarks about the obviously unfair nature of the debate and Kelly thinks it will backfire on the riggers. 

The fact that the Democrat “News”-media Colluders have to cheat, and so brazenly, shows that they are afraid of Trump.  Rather than manufacturing a win for Harris, the fact that they have to “baby” Harris is their admission that they know Harris cannot win a debate with Trump all by herself.  The same can be said of Dana Bash’s softball “imitation” of an interview with Harris. President Xi and Vladimir Putin and Ali Khamenei will not “baby” her. 

Of course, Chrissy Wallace thought the rigged ABC debate was “devastating” for Trump, but one can infer what that is worth from that fact that Chrissy is still trying to cover up the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop that was crucial in rigging the 2020 presidential election.  Mike Wallace, a real journalist, would not have taken this path.
