WATCH: Trump Torches ABC’s Debate Moderators and the Crowd Loves It, Goes Wild with Cheering
During a recent campaign event, former President Donald Trump tore into the ABC News debate moderators, David Muir and Linsay Davis, who incessantly fact-checked him while refusing to hold Vice President Kamala Harris to the same standard. Trump defended his remarks during the debate, emphasizing that his claims were factually correct.
The Republican presidential candidate began, “As everyone saw two nights ago, we had a monumental victory over comrade Kamala Harris in the presidential debate.” He added, “We won big with independent voters, moderates, Republicans and working people all across this nation putting forward a clear vision to very simply make America great again.”
Trump criticized Vice President Harris for failing to deliver substantive policy positions, instead offering “lies” and “meaningless platitudes.” The former president also blasted the ABC News hosts for their continual fact-checks throughout the night on statements that Trump claims were correct. He also cited several instances where Harris made blatantly false claims that the moderators did not correct.
“Meanwhile, Kamala Harris showed up spewing empty rhetoric, the same old lies, meaningless platitudes, offering no plans, no policies and no details whatsoever, nothing. The two anchors, David Muir and Lindsey Davis, sat there and only corrected me on things where I was right but didn’t correct Kamala on Project 25 that I knew nothing about on the bloodbath hoax that has been totally debunked, which had to do with the automobile industry that is going to be dying. It’s dying under this administration. They’re all going to be shipped out to China and everybody in the automobile industry making manufacturing automobiles vote for Trump. We’re going to bring back that industry these people are killing,” Trump said.
Continuing to call out Harris, Trump noted how she touted the false claim that Trump had labeled white supremacists “very fine people” after the events that unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Trump pointed out that even liberal fact checkers had determined that this claim about him was false.
“She talked about knowing it was all false. She talked about the Charlottesville hoax, and these people did nothing about it, which has been totally debunked, as they say, by Snopes and snoops and everybody else. And go look it up. Go to snoops, whatever the hell that is. Now I hear that’s a liberal site, and they came out totally in favor of me. That’s gotta be a bad thing,” the former president said.
Trump further defended his comments on abortion, continuing, “But they said they gave you total voting service. Kamala Harris said that no state allows abortion in the ninth month, which is a complete and total lie. They do. They do and even after birth. In some cases, she claimed, I want to monitor women’s pregnancies. I don’t want to. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to. It’s a total I don’t want to do that, women. I won’t be following you around to the hospital, monitoring. No, she made it up. She’s a liar.”
