ABC debate moderators spark fury for aggressive fact-checking of Trump, easy treatment of Harris

ABC News sparked intense backlash among critics for its aggressive approach to former President Trump versus its soft treatment of Vice President Kamala Harris during Tuesday's presidential debate.

The Disney-owned network shocked the nation as its debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis repeatedly fact-checked Trump on various topics from crime, abortion to the former president's past comments about the 2020 election.

"This debate has been a total sham, questions are all attacks on Trump, it’s 3 on 1. Outrageous."

"These debate questions and moderation is breathtaking. Holy s---. I’m not being hyperbolic. This is incredible. Absolutely outrageous," Ruthless co-host Josh Holmes wrote.

"The framing of every single question has been awful. Every single one," The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway wrote.
