The senior Trump campaign adviser appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Tuesday and criticized the media for biased reporting.
Daniel Alvarez Blown up Advisers blamed the media for allowing Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden to mislead the American public, accusing the media of not adequately vetting Harris' record and policy positions and of being complicit in the deception.
“You know what it really takes to stand up to the mainstream media? They get fooled by Joe Biden on the debate stage all of a sudden,” Alvarez said. “They're shocked. They can't believe they were fooled, and now they're in bed with Kamala Harris and they're just as fooled. So I think President Trump is going to be absolutely amazing on the debate stage.”
The comments came after Ms Harris came under fire for her ability to perform in debates and speak in public without a script.

“It's been 23 days since the coup against a sitting president of the United States and he has yet to account for the failures of the past three and a half years since taking the throne,” the adviser argued, highlighting the vice president's reliance on scripted speeches. “It's shameful.” (Related: Harris campaign found to have literally pushed fake news headlines into Americans' Google searches)
The moderator expressed strong doubts about the media's appetite for challenging Harris, suggesting the upcoming presidential debate may be the only opportunity for such scrutiny.
“She is afraid of President Trump and afraid to face her record of failure. President Trump delivered a dominant performance in the debates with Joe Biden and she achieved great success by regaining the throne. She has not received a single vote from the Democratic base,” Alvarez said in a statement when asked how he felt about Harris avoiding the debates.
