A Presidential Debate Gone Awry

September 23, 2024


Are you a glutton for punishment? Perhaps you were apprehensive and hesitant at first, or did being an American, a patriot, and your love of country give you strength and tenacity? As one who believes that we have an obligation as Americans to be informed, even if it means sacrificing 90 minutes of your time to watch and listen, I did, but… Did you observe the Presidential debate?

The September 10 debate between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris was a charade. It was a platform for Harris to present herself to the American people as a legitimate and qualified candidate for president. Her entire performance, however, was scripted and well-rehearsed. She accomplished the task that was laid out before her, but with tremendous help and lack of even-handedness from the debate moderators, ABC’s David Muir and Linsey Davis.

There was no audience, and microphones were muted. The candidates came out on and stage, shook hands, and retired to their podiums. From that point on, it was the product of a calculated agenda. The moderators were fact-checking Mr. Trump in real-time, on many of his responses, but refrained from applying the same standard to Harris on any of her errors, and these were numerous, including the following.

* “As of today, there is not one member of the U. S. military who is in active duty in a combat zone.” (There are in fact several thousand military in the Middle East under fire.)

* “What you’re going to hear tonight is a detailed and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former president intends on implementing if elected.” (Trump has on numerous occasions refuted the Heritage Foundation’s plan.)

* “I have not banned fracking as vice president.” (Correct; however Harris was forced to sign legislation that included fracking.)

* “Let’s remember Charlottesville where there was a mob spewing anti-Semitic hate, and what did the (former) president say? There were fine people on each side.” (This has been debunked by all media outlets.)

* “Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term, and asking for an abortion; this is not happening.” (There were over 10,000 late-term abortions in 2023.)

The former president was bushwhacked and on defense most of the night. He was upset at the personal attacks by his opponent and allowed himself to be baited by Harris and the moderators. At times, he lashed out, and responded with information that had little, if anything, to do with the question. 

When discussing illegal migrants, Mr. Trump brought up the uncorroborated story about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating domestic animals, cats and dogs. Springfield had a population of 60,000; the Biden administration added 20,000 Haitian migrants, throwing the small town into chaos and causing tremendous monetary and cultural problems.

The controversy surrounding the moderators, and their involvement in ensuring that Harris had a successful performance, has had as much of an impact as the debate itself. Those who may have defended the moderators were stymied in their defense when moderator Linsey Davis spoke out. In an interview following the debate, Davis revealed the outline of the entrapment scheme.

They spent weeks analyzing various scenarios “where the anchors and ABC News producers tested their questions, and played out the possible responses.” She explained, as an example, of how Trump when questioned about abortion, would respond, and how they “fully anticipated Trump’s erroneous abortion claim would come up when she questioned him on the issue.” Trump’s response however was accurate, as many Democrats support abortion up till birth.

The ruling class, Democrats, the media, and the rest of the anti-Trump mob have revealed the lengths they will go to for power and dominance, even election interference. What makes their attitude so brazen, however, is that they readily admit to their bias, indifference, and chicanery, and couldn't care less what the American people think.
