If you watched Tuesday's ABC debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, you saw that the moderators went out of their way to help Harris.
Recent Fluffy part Not only has this been proven true, but ABC's Lindsey Davis has also bragged about behind-the-scenes plans to ensure that Trump cannot end Harris' campaign the same way he ended President Joe Biden's campaign during a CNN debate in June, as ABC reporter Lindsey Davis told the LA Times.
I'm saying the reason the moderators behaved the way they did at the ABC debate is because they don't want what happened to Joe Biden to happen to Kamala Harris, and she acknowledges that.https://t.co/8uwshNkQl7 pic.twitter.com/x48TIQrz18

“In an era when misinformation spreads with ferocity, Mr. Davis's real-time fact-checks cut through the proceedings like a sharp blade,” the Los Angeles Times wrote. “Speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia and wearing rose-tinted glasses, Mr. Davis said his decision to try to correct the candidate's errors was a response to the June 27 CNN debate between Mr. Trump and President Biden, and that Mr. Biden's poor performance led him to drop out of the race.”
The outlet added that in the weeks leading up to the debate, everyone at ABC ran through “a variety of scenarios” in script-like sessions so they could “fact-check” the Trump-Biden debate in real time to avoid a replay.

The real losers are ABC and its two partisan hosts, Muir and Davis, who tried to distort the debate, tarnished the ABC's reputation and reminded us why such media “hosts” should never be allowed near a presidential debate. https://t.co/2nHe16lcL0

“People are just shocked at the mere publication of the statement. [be] “This was not disputed by then-candidate Biden or the moderators,” Davis told the Los Angeles Times.
The trap was set even before the debate began: Rather than learning from past mistakes, as is the regime's usual tactic, its arrogance has led it to demand “fact-checks” of Trump at every opportunity, while Harris continues to promote debunked lies without any correction.
The New Yorker and The Atlantic said Trump's claim that Harris supports “transgender surgery for illegal immigrants in prison” is false. The Atlantic said we Check Your Facts I contacted them but they did not correct it. https://t.co/IobzchPdCm pic.twitter.com/y5aO4SylBz

Though Davis was largely in the background at the debate, with moderator David Muir doing most of the talking, the Los Angeles Times still touted her ability to stop Trump.
Not only were the hosts creating a scenario in which Trump was effectively debating three people at once, but they were also wrong in their claims about what Trump said.
“There is no state in this country where it's legal to kill a baby after birth,” Davis told Trump after the president made comments about Democrats' support for late-term abortion and the remarks of former Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam. Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said: Signed The bill will be enacted in 2023. that It would remove requirements for abortion clinics to report the number of babies born alive after failed abortions and would no longer require health care providers to provide life-saving care to babies born alive after an attempted abortion.
Between 2015 and 2022, before the reporting requirement ends, 24 Babies A woman in the state was born alive after undergoing an abortion and later died.
This is true. I have written about heinous laws. translation:“Minnesota does not mandate that all steps be taken to keep alive babies born through late-term abortions. Eight babies have died during Walz's term.”https://t.co/28fOag7Vwi

At last night's debate, From ABC He said late-term abortions don't happen. Clearly an abortion extremist. Kamala Harris I went along with that lie.

Pro-life activist Share There are multiple recorded phone calls from individuals claiming to be from abortion clinics asking whether they can perform an abortion late in the pregnancy (34 weeks). The clinic assistants allegedly assure the women that they will have no problem obtaining an abortion, explain the gruesome procedure, and ensure that they have doctors on staff who are experienced in performing late-term abortions.
.From ABC They lied and said late-term abortions didn't exist.

Harris knew she had an advantage because the network hosting the debate was run by one of her best friends, Dana Walden.
Walden, a top Disney executive (Disney owns ABC), met Harris in 1994, and her husband, Matt Walden, and Doug Emhoff have been friends since the 1980s. According to A New York Times article about the apparent conflict of interest for ABC hosting the debate.
According to the outlet, the Waldens have not only been friends for decades but have also donated money to Harris' political campaigns for many years, and Harris has thanked Dana Walden for introducing her to her now-husband, Emhoff.

Davis was the perfect pawn for this plan, and she and Harris member They are both members of the same sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Davis at the University of Virginia and Harris at Howard University. (Related article: Republican state senators could tip the balance of power in Washington DC)
The goal of the ABC debate was to deny Trump an advantage over Harris's campaign while at the same time denying her the ability to dodge issues that matter most to American voters, such as the economy and illegal immigration. But it didn't work. Voters were more confused than ever about Harris's economic plan for the country, and as a result, Trump's approval rating rose regarding his ability to fix the country's ailing economy.
