Regardless of whether Trump claims he swept the debate, and that everyone SAYS he did, it seems from here that he is seriously mistaken. Now, there are quite a few allegations swirling that Kamala Harris got quite preferential treatment, which would certainly skew the results. The gist is that whenever Trump said something remotely fallacious, the ABC hosts immediately challenged it, but when Harris did the same, they just ignored whatever she said and acted as if it were Gospel truth, even if demonstrably false.<\/p>\n
A former adviser to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton has called on ABC to launch an internal investigation about whether there was an effort from its news division to rig Tuesday’s presidential debate in favor of Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n
Mark Penn, a pollster and senior adviser for the Clintons from 1995-2008 and co-chair of the Harvard CAPS\/Harris Poll, told the “John Solomon Reports” podcast Thursday that “suspicion is really quite high” and a review of internal texts and emails should be done by an independent party to find out whether there was an effort to rig the debate’s outcome.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n“I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don’t know how much of this was planned in advance,” Penn said, according to Just the News. “I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign.<\/p>\n
“I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that.”<\/p>\n
In an editorial Penn wrote with Andrew Stein, a former Democrat New York City Council president, which was published Thursday in The Wall Street Journal, it appeared to them that ABC News’ debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, “had decided in advance” they were going to fact check Trump but not Harris.\u00a0\u00a0 Newsmax<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\n\nY’know, if I had seen this on Breitbart, I would have “yeah, yeahed” it and gone on my way. But a senior Clinton aide?\u00a0 Not exactly a MAGA source, now, is it?<\/p>\n
Given that the usual criticism I hear of Trump in the debate was “he was caught lying” and “she got under his skin and threw him off base” – could this have been a cogent issue? Ah, yes.<\/p>\n
(Now if Trump would stick strictly to the literal verifiable truth, that certainly would also help. But Harris should have been called on several of her claims, such as that the 2025 Project is Trumps, that he favors banning abortion 100%, etc.\u00a0 Makes you understand why Trump says he will not debate Harris again …no one would with a biased forum such as is alleged.)<\/p>\n
Maybe he should refer to things like this?<\/p>\n
A video from 2019 surfaced last week showing Harris declaring her support for removing police officers from schools in an effort to “demilitarize” campuses during her time as a California senator.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Apropos in light of recent school shootings stopped by school police officers. Or maybe challenge Harris on her recent attempts to\u00a0 portray herself as a gun owner (yeah, right – Model? Maker? Caliber? When did you last fire it?)<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then this business about taking everyone\u2019s guns away, Tim Walz and I are both gun owners,\u201d Vice President Harris stated. \u201cWe\u2019re not taking anyone\u2019s guns away. So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Podcast host and former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly jumped in, too. \u201cKH: we\u2019re not taking anyone\u2019s guns away. Truth: She is literally on camera saying she supports a mandatory buy-back program.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kyle Smith posted on X about the vice president\u2019s track record on gun confiscation as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cUm Harris did support mandatory gun confiscation aka \u2018buybacks\u2019 and the people deserve an explanation of why she has reversed course on this, ABC News.\u201d Smith posted a Bloomberg News article after his comment with the headline \u201cKamala Harris Supports Mandatory Buyback of Assault Weapons.\u201d Buckeye Firearms<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Attack her on facts, Trump, not her race. News on Friday says various sources are pegging her as getting a bounce from the debate and leading Trump overall on electoral votes for the first time.\u00a0 Trump, of course, says his polls say he swept the polls instead. I suspect hers (CNN, YouGov and SoCal Strategies) are biased, but at least are named. His are probably equally as biased – I’d like to see their names too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
