American Liberty News has previously reported on the ABC debate moderators' past statements and lines of questioning that could suggest a lack of impartiality. To many viewers, those suspicions were proven true last night, as both moderators continually “fact checked” President Trump while ignoring the dubious claims Harris made on stage.
Breitbart News reports:
ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir intervened during Tuesday night's presidential debate to “fact-check” former President Donald Trump at least seven times, but never did so with Vice President Kamala Harris.
The first instance of this came when Donald Trump alluded to legislation that allows newborns to be killed, and he could have been referring to partial birth abortion, a particularly barbaric practice where a baby is delivered, but the skull is punctured while still in the mother's womb and the child's brains are suctioned out.
The Daily Caller reports:
Trump was referencing a 2019 video of former Virginia governor Ralph Northam saying that if a mother chose not to provide her baby medical care after birth, the “infant would be kept comfortable.” Davis said that “there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born.”
Muir also fact-checked Trump when he said that crime has surged while Harris has been vice president. The moderator cited FBI statistics saying crime has dropped, and Trump responded the numbers are fraudulent.
Harris falsely accused Trump of calling Charlottesville white supremacists “fine people” in 2017, but the moderators did not correct the vice president. She also claimed that Trump would sign a national abortion ban, despite the former president's repeated insistence to the contrary, but neither of the moderators fact-checked the vice president.
Linsey Davis fawned over Harris being the first woman elected to the executive branch, calling it “powerful” and “profound,” and was later accused of lobbing softball questions to the Vice President when she interviewed her.
Harris did not respond to the questioner or to us, the TV audience but to Mr. Trump as though laughing at him.
Harris was clearly rude to the former President,, the senior by many years. I don’t think she was raised that way.
The Moderators did not re-question Ms Harris as Mr Muir did President Trump.
The person they should have fact checked was Kamala! She lies every time her lips move! Mr. Trump was treated terribly and he should not have been treated that way. I thought David Muir was an okay guy but he certainly isn’t. Boo,Hiss on ABC!
