Shortly after predicting the end of legacy media, former Fox Host Megyn Kelly found herself vindicated following the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. She blasted moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for what she described as a partisan hack job that completely abandoned their responsibilities as independent parties in a critical conversation designed to help voters make informed decisions in November.
Kelly went on to assert that Muir and Davis were debating Trump alongside Harris, and trying to help her win.
The Daily Caller reports:
Sirius XM's Megyn Kelly scolded ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis for “trying to steal” the 2024 presidential election during the debate Tuesday between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Trump took to Truth Social after Tuesday night's debate in Philadelphia and accused ABC News of teaming up against him with Harris. Kelly expressed the same view that the moderators and Harris debated Trump “three on one,” blasting the network and the media industry for what she says is pro-Democrat bias.
Kelly dismissed what Democrats have called a “victory” as a fluke engineered by the moderators.
On her podcast, Kelly said, “It's very easy to look like you know what you're doing when both moderators are entirely on your side. Trump did the best he could under the circumstances, but it really was like three fighters in the ring pummeling one opponent. And Trump tried to take them all on.”
She insisted that this should be a teachable moment for Republicans, and that in the future, they must demand moderators they trust to do their jobs fairly, or refuse participation.
“The Republicans must learn from this mistake, the same way the Democrats never, ever agree to do anything with moderators they don't entirely trust. This should be the last time Republicans ever do this because those two moderators tried to sink Donald Trump tonight.”
She also suggested that Kamala Harris's close, decades-long relationship with a Disney executive may have played a role in the moderators' behavior, as Disney owns ABC. ABC denies that executives influence their reporting or their debate decisions.
The Daily Caller continues:
Kelly reminded her viewers that Harris has a close relationship with Disney executive Dana Walden, whom Harris has known since 1994, according to The New York Times. Walden, whose portfolio includes ABC, donated to Harris's various political campaigns since she ran for San Francisco district attorney in 2003. Walden reportedly set Harris up with Doug Emhoff, who has known the Disney executive's husband Matt Walden since the 1980s.
Kelly insisted, “No fair-minded person could think anything other than that they were in the tank for him and it was three against one.”
Kelly is well versed in presidential debates and what the appropriate behavior is for a moderator, as she moderated a presidential debate in 2016.
The moderators were also criticized for failing to mention the assassination attempt on former President Trump just weeks ago, and quickly moving the conversation away from it when Trump brought it up.
Even if the Republicans learn from this, it is immaterial, due to the fact that if they lose this election, there will never be another republican president. (only Democrats) In the next 4 years the democrats will do away with the Electoral College and stack the Supreme Court. Ergo only Democrats will be elected. (California’s population is more than that of 23 states, so New York & California will elect all future presidents)
The corrupt dems lose in my opinion, Trump tried to answer questions, unlike Harris who did not answer and skipped around questions, like the very first YES/NO question, word salad was her response. Trump won, one against 3 opponents. Most of her attacks against Trump were all lies that have already been Fact Checked sometime ago as being false, but she’s still repeats the lies.

Well what a surprise to anyone who doesn’t have a brain, Harris knew she would be at a disadvantage doing a debate with Fox News. She would get hard questions, so she refused to engage in a FOX debate. President also knew he would be facing a stacked deck…..but was too arrogant, or Stupid to refuse the ABC biased moderators. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!
Not only was it a backstreet knife fight – 3 to 1, the lighting for Comrade was soft and warm – illuminating her just in the right spots. The lighting for President Trump was harsh. In addition, the microphone for Comrade was at the perfect height and distance for her. For Trump, the microphone was too short and too far away forcing him to bend over and lean forward.
She should know, she once tried to sink him herself.
It all gets down to this. American voters have lived best under President Trump’s tutelage, and we have experience the vice president’s Socialism. The choice between the two is logical to any pragmatic voter.
