The latest debate on ABC News served as a masterclass in biased moderation, showcasing the prowess of David Muir and Linsey Davis in the fine art of interrupting Donald Trump while turning a blind eye to blatant misinformation spewed by Vice President Kamala Harris. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wasn’t shy about labeling the moderators’ performance as atrocious, effectively combining faux journalism with amateur theater. If they were auditioning for a role in a new political comedy-drama, they certainly nailed the part of the biased referee.
Throughout the event, it seemed like Muir and Davis were more interested in five-star fact checks that fell flat on their faces than in contributing to a fair discussion. For instance, they insisted that full-term abortion isn’t allowed in any state, a statement that runs counter to reality and completely ignores the endorsement of such practices by high-profile Democrats like former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. Their questionable fact-checks didn’t stop there; they suggested there was “no evidence” of animals being harmed by illegal aliens in small-town Ohio. But alas, police reports and the voices of those living in the community apparently evaporated in the air as they spoke.
RFK Jr rakes the ABC moderators across the coals for their obvious bias against Donald Trump. It’s as if they were running interference for Kamala Harris by interrupting Trump trying to fact check him multiple times live during the debate. #Debate2024 pic.twitter.com/nLADsZ6I6Q

Meanwhile, Harris found herself on a truth-telling vacation—one that even the best politicians envy. She felt free to trot out a bizarre narrative claiming police officers were murdered during the January 6 events, not to mention the discredited “very fine people” saga. Listeners might have scratched their heads, wondering whether Harris was participating in a debate or simply reading from a fictitious script of her own making.
Kennedy’s reflections post-debate echoed a sentiment that many on the conservative side of the aisle share: this wasn’t a fair fight. He pointed out the glaring discrepancy in how the moderators allowed Harris to evade tough questions while hammering Trump at every turn. For Muir and Davis, fairness seemed to take a backseat to partisanship, leaving audiences questioning if they had tuned into a debate or a political hit job.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t mince words either, dubbing the so-called debate as a “three-on-one” affair. His point, reinforced by the audience dynamics—where Trump was left battling not just the Vice President but the moderators themselves—made it clear that the action was less about establishing the facts and more about creating a spectacle. DeSantis illustrated the absurdity of Harris being shielded from scrutiny while Trump was the target of relentless interruptions. Trump left the stage with confidence regardless of the drama, basking in the glory of his own performance while begrudgingly recognizing the stacked odds against him. For him, it was business as usual in the world of politics, where the rules often seem bent to favor the left.
