Trump takes shots at ABC hosts, suggests he could pull out of debate

Former President Trump indicated he might pull out of the scheduled debate against Vice President Kamala Harris with ABC News on September 10 after watching the network's Sunday shows.

Trump attacked ABC as "the single worst network for unfairness" during remarks Monday at a campaign stop in Falls Church, Virginia and suggested ABC should be "shut out." He added he felt CNN was fair in the first debate he had with President Biden.

"I watched this weekend and it's the worst of all networks," Trump said of ABC. "George Slopadopalous and all the different people. The worst."

Trump also brought up the spat between his and Harris' campaign over the rules of the debate, which in part concern whether microphones will be cut off for candidates who have finished their allotted speaking times.

Former President Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation after the host said several times on air that the former president was "found liable for rape" during a March 10 interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.

"They had this Jonathan Karl, who is a lightweight," he said of the ABC Chief Washington Correspondent. "He was asking questions of Tom Cotton, who was fantastic, by the way. Only a total pro could have gotten through that interview."

"I watched that group talking to Biden about vanilla ice cream and I watched the way they went after Tom Cotton and Tom Cotton handled it like easy. When you see Jonathan Karl who's terrible, I mean, he's just terrible, just an average person," he added. "But they tell him what to do."

He then slammed Sunday's round table on "This Week," which included former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile,
