(Daily Caller) If you watched Tuesday’s ABC debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, you saw that the moderators were doing everything they could to help Harris.
A recent fluff piece on ABC’s Lindsey Davis in the LA Times not only proves this to be fact, but she’s bragging about their behind-the-scenes plan to ensure Trump was not able to end Harris’s campaign the same way he did President Joe Biden’s at the CNN debate in June.
I said the reason for how the moderators behaved in the ABC debate was simply because they were not going to let happen to Kamala Harris, what happened to Joe Biden and here she is admitting ithttps://t.co/8uwshNkQl7 pic.twitter.com/x48TIQrz18

“In an era in which misinformation spreads fast and furious, Davis’ real-time fact check cut through the proceedings like a sharp blade,” the LA Times wrote. “Davis, wearing pink glasses while speaking to The Times over breakfast at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia, said the decision to attempt to correct the candidates was in response to the June 27 CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led to his exit from the race.”
The outlet added that in the weeks leading up to the debate, everyone involved at ABC played out “various scenarios” in table read-like sessions to ensure their ability to “fact check” in real time to avoid a redo of Trump’s debate against Biden.
The real losers were ABC and its two partisan moderators, Muir and Davis. They sought to warp a debate, disgraced their network, and offered a good reminder why such media “moderators” should never be allowed anywhere near presidential debates. https://t.co/2nHe16lcL0

“People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,” Davis told the LA Times.
The fix was in before the debate even began. In true regime media fashion, instead of learning from their mistakes in the past, their hubris pushed them to “fact check” Trump at every turn while leaving Harris to spread debunked falsehoods without even the slightest correction.
The New Yorker and the Atlantic both said that Trump was wrong to claim that Harris supported “transgender operations for illegal aliens in prison.” Atlantic changed their reporting after we at @Check_Your_Fact reached out but did not issue a correction. https://t.co/IobzchPdCm pic.twitter.com/y5aO4SylBz

Her co-host, David Muir, spent most of the time talking, leaving Davis mainly in the background of the debate. Still, that didn’t stop the LA Times from heralding her ability to block Trump.
Not only did the moderators create a scenario where Trump effectively debated three people at once, but their supposed disputes about Trump’s statements were incorrect.
“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” Davis said to Trump after his comments about Democrats’ support of late-term abortion and a statement made by former Democrat Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. Harris’s running-mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, signed a bill into law in 2023 that removed a requirement for abortion clinics to report the number of babies born alive after botched abortions and no longer expects medical professionals to give life-saving care to a baby born alive after an attempted abortion.
During 2015-2022, before the reporting requirement ended, 24 babies were born alive and subsequently died after abortion procedures in the state.
This is correct- I have written about the heinous law in @GovTimWalz‘ MN that does not require every measure possible to keep infants born in late-term abortions alive. Eight babies have died under Walz’ termhttps://t.co/28fOag7Vwi
