The ABC News Harris/Trump debate moderator Muir*, HAS been around tougher situations then Donald Trump’s Bull Shit…..
As usual?
Trump has moved to soften up anything causing him opposition, pain or the truth….
On-line MAGA types have taken their cue and are attacking ABC for Trump’s poor performance…..
Update…
Former President Trump is suggesting ABC News be punished for what he is calling a hostile performance by the network’s debate moderators on Tuesday evening.
“ABC took a big hit last night,” Trump said Wednesday morning during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.”
Fifteen minutes into Tuesdayhttps://thehill.com/homenews/media/4874106-trump-abc-debate-punishment/’s debate, former President Donald J. Trump was delivering a circuitous answer about his stance on abortion rights when he made a statement with no basis in reality: that a governor had condoned executing babies after birth.
Linsey Davis, one of the evening’s moderators from ABC News, did not let that one slide. “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” Ms. Davis said, matter-of-factly.
A little later, it happened again. When Mr. Trump made an outlandish claim about migrants in an Ohio town eating dogs and cats, the other moderator, David Muir, pointed out that ABC had called the city manager and learned there were no credible reports of pets being harmed.
“The people on television say, ‘My dog was taken and used for food,’” Mr. Trump said.
“I’m not taking this from television,” Mr. Muir responded. “I’m taking it from the city manager.”….
….
Donald J. Trump Jr., in a social media post, referred to the moderators as “hacks.” On Fox News, the partisan host Laura Ingraham declared that “ABC’s goal tonight was to help Kamala Harris” and Sean Hannity called ABC News “the biggest loser in the debate.”
Whether those attacks can stick is an open question. Mr. Muir is, ratings-wise, the most popular TV news personality in the country. His newscast, “World News Tonight,” reaches far more Americans than shows hosted by partisan cable stars like Mr. Hannity and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC.
He and Ms. Davis, who hosts the Sunday edition of “World News Tonight,” have taken pains to present themselves as nonpartisan figures. Mr. Trump even chose Mr. Muir to conduct his first major TV interview after taking office in 2017.
In the buildup to Tuesday, Mr. Trump had assailed ABC News as “the worst” and “the nastiest,” and brought up his pending lawsuit that claims one of the network’s anchors, George Stephanopoulos, harmed his reputation. But Mr. Trump and his campaign also accepted ABC’s ground rules for the debate and were satisfied with the choice of moderators….
