The morning after the presidential debate of former President Donald Trump and current vice president Kamala Harris and the Internet is ablaze about the bias of ABC News debate host moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis. They are also calling out the bias of the ABC News Director Dana Walden, a senior Disney executive whose portfolio includes ABC News and close friend of Kamala Harris who actually introduced her to her husband.

Viewers watched former President Trump falsely “fact checked” over and over while vice president Kamala Harris seemingly got a free pass time after time. Multiple independent news sources say it was like Trump was in a debate of 3 against 1, and they are not wrong.
Since nobody seemingly wanted to fact check Kamala Harris last night, we are doing it for them!
GUNS
Probably the single thing Harris said that triggered so many Americans was her disparagement of President Trump when she tried to paint him as a liar over his claim she wants to violate Americans Second Amendment Right to gun ownership.
Last night Harris’ newly rehearsed line was, “This business about taking everyone’s guns away — Tim Walz and I are both gun owners.”
FACT CHECK: In a past interview she said, “We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory buyback program.”
TRUMP BLOODBATH COMMENT
Last night Harris’ newly rehearsed line was, “Donald Trump, the candidate, has said in this election there will be a bloodbath if this […] the outcome of this election is not to his liking.”
FACT CHECK: At a Trump rally this year former President Trump called out the failure of UAW president Shawn Fain for his endorsement of Joe Biden for president when Biden and Harris are allowing the Chinese to build car factories in Mexico for import and sale in the future in the United States. Trump’s statement was a reference to when those factories start operating, it will be a bloodbath for the UAW membership. He was not and is not wrong.
JOBS AND UNEMPLOYMENT
Last night Harris’ newly rehearsed line was, “Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.”
FACT CHECK: The Great Depression began in 1929 and lasted about a decade. The unemployment rate peaked in May 1933, with 25% of Americans out of jobs. President Trump was following the directions of Dr. Tony Fauci and Dr. Deb Birx during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, both career Democrats and neither of them virologists. In April 2020, of Trump’s presidency, the unemployment rate surged to around 14.8% but when Biden was sworn into office almost a year later that rate was already down to 6.4%. President Trump has correctly labeled those “bounce back jobs” meaning they would bounce back after the pandemic was over and thus do not count as new jobs.
Trump would have been well within his right to fire both Fauci and Birx when the pandemic began. They were and are two partisan doctors who were not qualified for the task at hand and, in the case of Fauci, he had a personal interest in both the virus and one of the “vaccines”.
MIGRANT CRIME IN AURORA AND SPRINGFIELD
During the debate, former President Trump brought up immigrants eating pets in the US, particularly in the state of Ohio. “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs. The people that came in… They’re eating the cats. They’re eating… they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Harris both smiled and laughed as Trump talked about migrant crime and Haitian migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. The debate moderators fact checked former President Trump saying this was not true. Actually, it is true and there are videos to prove it.
FACT CHECK: As the old expression goes, seeing is believing here are two videos of what former President Trump was talking about. These were new stories in the news this month.
“Bodycam: Ohio Woman Allegedly Killed Cat and Ate It In Front of Neighbors” – Law and Crime
“Heavily-armed ‘migrant gang’ takes over apartment building in Colorado” – Fox News
JANUARY 6
Last night Harris’ newly rehearsed line was, “And on that day the president of the United States incited a violent mob to attack our nation’s capitol. To desecrate our nation’s capital on that day 140 law enforcement officers were injured and some died. And understand the former president has been indicted and impeached for exactly that reason.”
FACT CHECK: This entire statement was a lie and there are multiple videos to prove it. President Trump called on protesters to go down to the capitol “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Former President Trump also correctly pointed out that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has since confessed on video filmed by her daughter that the January 6 Capitol Riot was her fault as she refused to accept the 10,000 National Guard troops President Trump suggested she call up.
President Trump corrected vice president Harris stating only one person died January 6 of 2021 and it was Trump supporting Air Force Veteran Ashli Babbitt.
CONCLUSION:
Trump won the debate.
He won the debate because well delivered pre-rehearsed lies and two moderators biased towards Harris gave her what golfers call a “handicap”, a number used to allow players of different abilities to compete against each other. Harris is no match for Trump so she had the help of the moderators and some are speculating she may have been given the questions in advance of the debate thanks to her friend Dana Walden. Some are even accusing Harris of having an ear piece that looked like a pearl earring.
The problems for Harris are two-fold; Trump has a record of accomplishments to stand on where Harris has a record of failures she wants people to forget. Trump is good at delivering on what most Americans want where Harris can’t even correctly read the American audience (probably because she just doesn’t care).
Her biggest blunder of last night was smiling, smirking, and laughing at Trump’s highlighting of the problems going on out in Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio right now. I predict this is going to come back to bite her in the ass the same what the 13 Afghanistan Gold Star families did when she tried to attack President Trump for his visit to Arlington Cemetery to honor their dead hero children. She was clueless then just as she remains clueless today.

This laughing at migrant crime cost her the debate last night and should help cost her the election. The people in Aurora and Springfield are not finding anything to laugh about. Many other cities of America feel the same.
During her closing statement Kamala Harris said, “I started my career as a prosecutor. I was the DA, I was the Attorney General, a United States Senator, and now vice president. I have only had one client, the people. And, I’ll tell you, as a prosecutor I never asked a victim or a witness ‘Are you a Republican or a Democrat?’ The only thing I ever asked them, ‘Are you okay?’”
In the last 4 years she has yet to even talk to those Afghanistan Gold Star Families. She has yet to visit Springfield, Ohio, or Aurora, Colorado, as Border Czar.
NBC’s Lester Holt (2021): You haven’t been to the border.
Border Czar Kamala Harris: (resets) Uh, and I haven’t been to Europe. (awkward laughs) I mean, I don’t understand the point that you’re making.
Jason Miyares AG Virginia (9-10-2024) “Kamala Harris brags she has been all over the world but she’s still never been to our southern border.”
Kamala Harris is a liar just like Joe Biden and no, America is not okay, Kamala, and thanks for asking (not)!
