Since the outset of the Tuesday presidential debate between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the bias perpetuated by the moderators has become the center of most discussions among Americans.
In a Thursday evening Truth Social post, Trump amplified a post-debate suggestion by Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton and chairman of the Harvard CAPS Harris Poll.
The 45th president wrote, “People are saying that Comrade Kamala Harris had the questions from Fake News ABC. I would say it is very likely. The two so-called ‘Anchors’ were a disgrace to Modern Day Journalism. David Muir should be ashamed of himself, as should Linsey Davis, who I never heard of, but both were nasty and rude when they were making statements that they knew were false. As an example, the FBI said they didn’t give all the information when coming up with Crime stats, making me RIGHT.”
He continued, “Despite having to debate three people, Polls firmly state that I won, and EASILY. I felt that also, but no Politician should ever do a Debate with ABC News. They have proven NOT WORTHY, and hopefully an investigation will be done as to whether or not they gave the Debate questions to Comrade Kamala, whose best friend is a top ABC Executive. If she did give the questions to Kamala, ABC’s license should be TERMINATED. Remember, Donna Brazile works for ABC, and she gave the questions to Hillary Clinton!”
Trump shared an article from Just The News, detailing Penn’s suspicions about ABC’s coordination with the Harris campaign during his appearance on “The John Solomon Reports” podcast.
Penn told Solomon, “I 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 continued, telling Solomon, “I don’t know what they told the Harris campaign. 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.”
