(Congress Report) – ABC News broke the rules of its own presidential debate during the first showdown between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump less than thirty minutes into the event. It had previously been agreed upon by the network and both nominees that when it was not their turn to speak, the mics would be muted in order to prevent interruptions. Shortly into the debate, ABC allowed Harris to interrupt the former president while he was answering a question.
As the night progressed, it became clear that there was bias from the moderators, particularly David Muir, who constantly inserted himself into the debate as if he were the one taking on Trump and not Kamala Harris.
The vice president, whose voice was shaky and filled with anxiety for a good portion of the evening, responded to almost every question with a very rehearsed answer. It was like she knew what was going to be asked ahead of time. ABC carried Harris through the debate. That much is certain.
Randy DeSoto of The Western Journal reported, “Trump first explained his position that following the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in the summer of 2022, the issue has returned to the states for the people to decide. Harris pledged to reinstitute Roe v. Wade by federal law, if elected and if Congress passed the legislation. Trump respectfully listened as Harris made her points.”

Harris made the claim that Trump would sign a national abortion ban, something he has denied repeatedly over the course of this election cycle.
The former president responded by saying, “There she goes again. It’s a lie. I’m not signing a ban, and there’s no reason to sign a ban because we’ve gotten what everybody wanted.”
🚨WOW! RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST FACT CHECKED KAMALA HARRIS LIVE ON STAGE AT THE DEBATE!
"Well, there she goes again! It's a lie."
Kamala Harris, NOT Donald Trump, is a LIAR!
Kamala definitely wouldn't want you to share this! pic.twitter.com/5zlLHTCwFP

Harris never provided an answer as to whether she would support any restrictions placed on abortion, only stating she would support the “protections” of Roe v. Wade. In other words, she would not support any sort of restrictions. That should tell you how evil this woman really is. The lives of our most vulnerable citizens mean absolutely nothing to her in the grand scheme of things.
“Trump then asked the moderator to question Harris whether she would support abortion at the seventh month of the pregnancy and beyond. She responded, ‘Come on,’ and continued to talk over Trump’s answer. The rules the candidates agreed to said the mics would be muted while the other candidate was speaking,” DeSoto wrote.
The moment was a hot topic of discussion on social media.
“Why is only Trump’s mic muted? Americans are noticing,” a user asked.

Another account added, “Why isn’t Kamala’s mic muted and you’re allowing her to talk over Trump during his time?!? Not surprised.”

Once again, we have clear evidence that mainstream media outlets are not at all interested in truth and providing the general public with facts. Instead, they have compromised their values, ethics, and purpose in order to become propagandists working for the same people who want to destroy our nation that provides them with the freedom to do their jobs in the first place.

NBC has always been on the left. Nobody I know believes half of what they say.
Even with all of that, Camel’s Snap poll numbers must have been disappointing since they want another debate. You can’t make this crap up. ABC News, and actually the whole Channel, is now officially toilet paper and swirling in the bowl.
The main question that ABC should have asked Harris is:
“Why did you lie about Biden’s declining health issues for over 3 years?”
No one should want a President that’s a proven Lier!
ABC News and David Muir feed and support Liars. The whole Debate was a three against one . The big thing is after ABC told the American people how the debate would held was lie, Not only is the Democrat party trying to destroy America , ABC with David Muir are helping to destroy America and making it a Socialist country. THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATS ARE DESTROYING THIS NATION. David Muir is a traitor to this Country along with ABC.
I feel that we should boycott ABC News, It has worked before and It will work again. This Has got to stop.
Just boycott their sponsors’ products as they did to conservative sponsors, like My Pillow. Mike Tindell was a Trump supporter and his product was pulled by many of the now known liberal retailers. I personally like My Pillow but stopped shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond for pulling the product. I bought the product online. I own several My Pillow products and have no complaints. Screw the leftist retailers, buy direct.
Abc was biased, 3 gainst one , no fact checks on all of Harris lies , Harris knew the questions , and she was as wearing an earpiece ! This was an abc sham , they should be boycotted!
I can’t boycott something I don’t watch anyways.
You can boycott CBS sponsors when we get a list.
Almighty GOD will have the last word. HE is OUR CREATOR GOD and it is HE who creates LIFE!
That is a possibility. But. I truly believe God gave us the ability to do what is right. And fight for what is right
He also can taketh away.
Absolutely ZERO people were “shocked” that ABC broke their own rules. It would have been far more shocking if they had actually allowed for a fair and equal debate. What is shocking is that the Republicans keep agreeing to do these obviously skewed debates at all.
I totally agree!
Not one average intelligent American voter, notice that I didn’t mention Democrats, who wasted 90 plus minutes of our lives watching this farce of a “debate” saw anything remotely close to a fair discussion between the two candidates. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting, but hey that’s
ABC news and the reason I stopped watching it after the 2020 election joke!
ABC didn’t disappoint my expectations. They didn’t prove me wrong. Trump/Vance 2024!!
HOW ABOUT NOT HAVING NEWS PERSONALITIES AS THE QUESTIONERS ?
Who did you have in mind?
The debate was a farse, the moderators biased (no surprise there)! The public knows what Trump can and will do to get America back on the right track. Harris will continue the left leaning policies that she has championed all her life. She and the Democrat party are Socialists (evil, and untrustworthy) who will continue to destroy the fabric of our country. MAGA, D.J. Trump for President 2024!!
You didn’t really think these democrat boot lickers were going to be honest about this debate … did you ??? Com on man … think … since when did democrats ever do anything honest for others sake. Not gonna happen.
I knew the debate was going to be one side before I even watched it. What a disgrace. Very disgusted with David Muir and Linsey Davis. They are actors not journalists! I hope they have to turn over most of their paychecks to Kamaliar!!
Note, when Harris says she supports restoring the protections of Roe V Wade, she is NOT advocating abortion without restrictions as you allege.
Rather, in the third trimester, the only exception to an absolute ban is to protect the life of the mother.
I was not surprised even though disappointed. It’s maddening that they think the public is so stupid.
There was a report Kamala was wearing earrings that are earwigs. The company that made them confirmed. She looked like she was communicating with someone in the back of the room. Additionally, she obtained the questions in advance, was not checked for lies. TRUMP was called out 7 times and was truthful all 7 times. She lied 20 times and was not checked.
I only ask one thing of the American people.
Do your homework, look at what democrats have done ( nothing for the people they represent) for themselves!!
They promise what they need to to get elected, that will be the last you hear of it until it’s time for reelections!
WHAT IS THE USE ? tHE HORDES OF THE CURRENT SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IS AS CULPABLE AS ALL OTHER CAPITALISTS : “BAR NONE” !! AS THE OLDE SAYING GOES : ” CHARITY STARTS IN HOME BASE” !! AFTER ALL LOGIC SHOULD NOT BE CHALLENGED UNLESS POSITIVE ENDS ARE MET! “HE SAID – SHE SAID” IS ALL A CROCK OF WELL TRODDEN DUNG . RIGHTEOUS DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AS WELL AS RIGHTEOUS REPUBLICAN LEADERS HAVE HELPED BUILD THIS ONCE :: ( U N I T E D ) STATES OF AMERICA. WHERE ARE WE NOW ?? TO QUOTE A WELL LEARNED SENATOR OF THE ( THEN ) WORDLY SENATE OF THE THEN ROME : ” OH JUDGEMENT THOU ART FLED TO BRUTISH BEASTS AND MEN HAVE LOST THEIR REASON AND I MUST PAUSE TILL IT COME BACK TO ME ” ( MARC ANTHONY) THE GREAT ORATOR OF THE THEN ROMAN SENATE .
