ABC News faced intense backlash during and following Tuesday night’s presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
The bias was on display from the moment the debate began with co-moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis peppering Trump with follow-up questions while letting Harris dodge questions with no pushback.
The moderators both repeatedly needled Trump with fact-checks that at times bordered on absurd while they allowed Harris to lie with impunity.
Coming into the debate, it was obvious that Trump was not going to get a fair shake given that Davis had tried to falsely suggest that Trump had ties to the KKK last month and an analysis found Muir gave Harris 100% positive coverage and Trump 93% negative coverage.
“ABC is making a huge mistake trying to fact check this live,” said former White House Press Secretary Ari Fletcher. “They’re only proving how biased they are. Harris fabricated an attack on Trump over IVF. ABC sat there and said nothing.”
Even leftist Glenn Greenwald slammed ABC News: “David Muir is criticizing and attacking Trump more than Kamala is. Kamala can relax because the ABC ‘moderators’ are handling the debate for her.”
“This debate is no longer about trump vs harris; it’s about moderators obediently picking a side,” said Fox News host Greg Gutfeld. “ABC is a s*** show.”
Muir and Davis allowed Harris to lie about her own record when Trump highlighted how she supported defunding the police and she claimed that it was not true.

As the Trump campaign noted, ABC News even covered how Harris wanted to “redirect” police resources in 2020.
Also, the very post that Trump was talking about, in which Harris did raise money for those involved during the 2020 riots, is still live on social media.
“If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota,” Harris wrote in the 2020 tweet.
“It isn’t ‘fact-checking’ when you are only fact-checking Trump and allowing Harris to lie with impunity,” said National Review editor Philip Klein.
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro posted on X: “ABC’s moderators are a disgrace to their profession.”
Shapiro then highlighted numerous lies that Harris was allowed to tell lies with no pushback: “‘Fine people on both sides’ lie. ‘Stand back and stand by’ lie. ‘Bloodbath’ lie. Where are the ABC moderators fact-checking? Or are their heads too far up Kamala Harris’ a** to speak at this point?”
“Why did the moderators need Kamala Harris there at all?” asked Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly.
“ABC/Disney has done its best to help VP Harris,” said syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt. “It’s astonishing how badly moderated it has been. It may help her but because former President Trump hit the border and the Biden/Harris weakness against everyone often and managed to remind everyone of the Trump economy it will not move the numbers.”
“Trump could have put the election away and didn’t,” he added. “But she is so awful she still couldn’t win with both moderators so obviously, terribly biased. Neither of them won but ABC/Disney lost half the country.”
