When will @ABC put out a statement (& make an on-air mea culpa) correcting its false “fact checks?”

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

Dear GOP,

FYI... American citizens would prefer a government shutdown until spending is cut, border is closed and illegal aliens cant vote in our elections.

Thanks,
Real Americans

Donald Trump earned billions; owned jets and lavish properties; he enjoyed 40 years of fame.

He had a great life.

And he gave that up to serve his country.

And they impeached him. Indicted him. And shot him.

And he’s willing to do it again.

That’s the man I’m voting for.

[Commentary Trump Daily Posts @TrumpDailyPosts]

I won the Debate, but was criticized by the Radical Left Lunatics because I looked “angry and forceful.” But think, why wouldn’t I be angry? I love the U.S.A., and it is being destroyed by grossly incompetent leadership. Inflation, A Terrible Economy, Horrible Military Decisions, No Respect from around the World, and more than 20 Million people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country, and creating Havoc, Crime, and Destruction, like never seen before. Am I supposed to be smiling, like Comrade Kamala Harris, with her FAKE one-and-a-half hour smile and long practiced facial expressions, despite all of the problems that she and Crooked Joe have caused. No, there’s nothing to smile about, but there will be in the not too distant future, when America makes the biggest Comeback in History. November 5th - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

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

[Former Congressman Matt Gaetz @FmrRepMattGaetz]

Congress should not take one up or down vote to fund the entire United States government. That is the reason we are nearly $38 trillion in debt.

We have to break the fever dream of governing by omnibus spending bills and continuing resolutions. We have to get to single-subject spending bills so these agencies have to defend their budget and its programmatic review.

[Trump War Room @TrumpWarRoom]

PRESIDENT TRUMP: People said that I was “angry” at the debate—and Yes, I’m angry about 21 million illegal aliens invading our communities.

I’m angry about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado and illegal Haitian migrants taking over Springfield Ohio.

I’m angry about young American girls being raped and murdered by savage criminal aliens.

I’m angry about rampant inflation destroying our Middle Class—and THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ANGRY TOO! 🔥🔥🔥

[Gator Gar @gatorgar]

They spent a week telling you the debate “wouldn’t move the needle”, Kamala would be well prepared, and that Trump would be mercilessly fact-checked.

Am I the only person who walked away with a different opinion than the one they told me to have? Kamala stammered her way through pre-planned catch phrases, and Trump didn’t take most of the bait.

Trump came out looking like a statesman and a patriot. Kamala came out looking fake, rehearsed, and coached. Take a squeegee to your third eye and stop letting the news and people on X decide how you’re going to react to something before it even happens.

[Brandon Straka #WalkAway @BrandonStraka]

Statement on the debate last night:

I haven't changed my mind in the slightest. Donald Trump won the debate. There is no question.

Before anybody calls me delusional or desperate, know a few things...

I have been openly critical the past few years about my opinions about the Trump Campaign's missteps and missed opportunities in this election cycle. I am in no way a Trump cultist. I've even said many times that his performance in the last debate with Biden was not stellar, and it's only the fact that Biden was a total disaster that distracted from the fact that Trump could and should have been more potent at that debate.

Reading and watching commentary from conservatives about last night makes one thing perfectly clear: the majority of conservatives foolishly believed that Kamala wouldn't prepare for the debate. Why? Sorry to be so blunt- but if you honestly believed she was going to show up last night and just cackle and make no sense, shame on you for being so gullible.

Everybody has been asking for months, "why isn't she doing any media?", "why isn't she answering questions?". It seems crystal clear- she's been spending weeks and weeks being coached and prepped for her moment last night.

Is she qualified to become president? No.
Is she smart enough for the job? No.
Is she prepared & knowledgable enough to do this? No.

But the woman is not a shiftless moron. She went to law school, she passed the bar, she became a lawyer.

We know for a fact that she's coachable and capable of memorizing lines. That's what she's spent the last 2 months doing.

But what astonishes me most is that conservatives are acting like she came out last night like Winston Churchill and brought the house down with a policy recitation that will live in infamy.

No such thing happened.

She dodged questions. When asked about one of the most important issue to most voters: border security, she deflected entirely- her entire answer was about Trump's bogus indictments and innuendos about sexual assaults- and of course... Charlottesville and January 6th.

She had no substance, no depth. Her finest moments were in fact... weak. Thin. Flimsy. Well memorized, but absolutely vacuous tropes that did absolutely nothing to illuminate how exactly Kamala Harris is going to make our lives and our country better in 4 years than they are today.

On to Trump.

I never worry about Trump's reactions. I know this is a great source of anxiety for many conservatives- but I don't understand why. This belief that he's going to come unglued because somebody gets under his skin seems to be based on nothing at all that I can see. This isn't to say that I always believe he says the right thing or reacts the way I wish he would. But I can honestly say I have never once in 8 years been watching through my fingers as he's coming unhinged before my eyes. That simply has never happened, and I don't worry that it ever will.

What I worry about with Trump in debate scenarios is his energy- which has been inconsistent in the past. Sometimes we've gotten the quick paced, lightning fast guy who sets the room on fire. Other times we've gotten the soft spoken Trump whose relaxed demeanor lacks the power and punch that's needed in the moment.

He's not up against a walking corpse anymore. Last night I needed him to bring his best energy and his most solid focus... and he DID.

All I'm reading today are comments about how she won because she got under his skin. Preposterous. It was literally the opposite. Last night I watched a guy who took on three opponents at the same time, and handled it with sharp precision and skillful messaging and wit.

On the other hand, it was Kamala who I watched repeatedly become emotional, unnerved, defensive, insecure, and reactionary. Her face oscillated between looking pained and tense to looking lost, helpless, and confused.

So many conservatives were rolling over in defeat starting last night that I began to wonder if I had missed something. So I watched the debate again.

No. I didn't miss anything.

Last night two candidates took the stage to make their case to the American people about why they should be our next Commander in Chief.

Donald Trump identified the problems and the existential threats facing our nation today, and spoke from a place of wisdom and experience, laying out clear and comprehensive plans for what needs to be done to right the ship of America that has been steered so far off course. He was strong, confident, and poised.

Kamala Harris spent the night deflecting, hypocritically telling us again and again that it was time to "turn the page" and "move on" while she spent the entire night referencing thoroughly debunked lies about Charlottesville, J6, bloodbaths, and even the Central Park 5- taking us back 5 to 40+ years all night long, avoiding accountability for her failed vice presidency by reiterating leftist hoax after leftist hoax.

Kamala Harris did not win this debate. Apparently, she surprised a significant number of people by proving that she's capable of memorizing enough superficial talking points to ride out an hour of television programming.

This election will ultimately be decided by convincing enough undecided people which of the two choices they had last night was better for the country.

It will not be decided by MAGA loyalists or post-debate panicked conservatives, and it won't be decided by Trump hating leftists or the crowds of people being bussed in to Kamala's rallies. It will be decided by the people who know that their lives are fundamentally worse today than they were 5 years ago, and who know that last night they were shown a picture of two candidates: one strong, experienced, and ready to give them back the life they had 5 years ago; and one who divides, lies, fear mongers, and deceives.

Again, if you tuned in last night expecting to see Kamala Harris show up as a bumbling unprepared idiot, that's on you. Clearly you haven't been paying attention to the fact that the Democrats will do anything necessary to keep power. That includes coaching and practicing with Harris until she comes across as passable.

And that's all she was last night: passable. Not great. Not exceptional. Not even newsworthy. She was just adequate and nothing more.

So I maintain: Donald Trump won the debate. Hands down.

[Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2]

Absolutely stunned at this lie.

Harris left the Capitol at 11:20 for the DNC.

Harris was evacuated from DNC at 1:17pm and she did not go to the Capitol.

The 1st breach of the inside of Capitol was 2:12.

Just a flat out lie and no fact check by any media outlet yet.

[Texas_Cindy @TexasCindy]

@liz_churchill10 Check out all the secret service and how they are hiding her. Is that the same female SSA from Trumps rally detail?

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

This clip may be the most egregious example of ABC debate moderators' direct actions/inactions to affect viewers’ perceptions of the information presented at the debate.

There are at least seven instances of this within a two-minute span.

This is not “bias."

It’s much worse.

This is direct, planned interference in the debate outcome. When moderators take on the role of “fact checkers" the inference is that the absence of a “fact check” confers validity to the non-fact-checked information.

When one side is repeatedly “fact checked,” while the other is not, that is a signal to the viewer that one side is not reliable and truthful, while the other side is.

The ABC moderators had their orders, and here you see those orders executed.

In this clip:

1) Trump says Pelosi is responsible for security at the Capitol. True. Muir intervenes on Kamala’s behalf by cutting him off with snarky retort, doesn’t acknowledging the validity of Trump’s statement, and immediately redirects to Kamala to set up her “answer" he knows is coming. This is direct action by Muir to affect the outcome of this exchange.

2) Kamala says she was at the Capitol on J6. She was there in the morning, but left to go to DNC HQ prior to the riot. Critical information is omitted. No fact-check.

3) Kamala says Trump incited a mob to attack the Capitol. False. Trump’s “peacefully and patriotically” comments are ignored. Trump is not charged with inciting violence. No fact check.

4) Kamala says that “some" police officers died on January 6. False. No fact check.

5) Kamala recites the Charlottesville “Fine People” hoax. This has been thoroughly and repeatedly debunked. No fact check.

6) Kamala recites the “stand back and stand by” hoax. This is designed to infer that Trump was ordering a “militia” to act on later orders, when he was clearly asking for a cooling of tensions. No fact check.

7) Kamala recites the “bloodbath" hoax. Trump was talking about the automobile industry, not violence. No fact check.

To quote Megyn Kelly on the ABC moderators:

"They did exactly what their bosses wanted."

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

This is an absolute demolition of a CBS fake news propagandist by Trump advisor Tim Murtaugh on election security and weaponization of justice.

She’s left mumbling with zero answers.

This is how it’s done.

🔥

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

This debate won’t move the needle either way, Kamala is a soulless communist, but didn’t get cornered or have a disastrous moment

single biggest takeaway is that these moderators are awful. legacy media like ABC News deserves nothing but distrust and disdain

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

I think it’s time we stop the charade of there being unbiased moderators. It’s clear both of the "moderators" tonight are Kamala voters. That’s the story now from tonight.

Both sides should choose one moderator and then those 2 have to agree on questions.

Not perfect but fair.

[Hodgetwins @hodgetwins]

Trump is right

Virginias governor endorsed post birth abortion https://t.co/N3wJXIvIJM

[Liz Wheeler @Liz_Wheeler]

Kamala has lied about

- Late term abortion
- "Very fine people" Charlottesville
- J6
- "Bloodbath"
- Crime data
- Border security
- Project 2025
- Fracking

The ABC moderators are a disgrace. They're propaganda. Pravda. They've sold their souls.

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

Weird how the hack moderators at @abcnews are only "Fact checking" Trump and allowing Kamala to lie nonstop. The Fake News is the enemy of the people!

[Megyn Kelly @megynkelly]

Must be so nice to have the moderators running cover for you as a candidate. Makes it so much easier.
