Debate Moderator Fact Checks

[Anonymous]

I thought they did a great job fact-checking Trump. And, to be fair, a non-existent job of fact checking Harris. And obviously had no interest in pressing her to give a straight answer when she dodged the “do you think voters are better off than they were four years ago?” Question (she doesn’t, but they don’t want to make her SAY that) and when she avoided answering whether she supports limits on abortion in 7th, 8th, 9th month (she doesn’t, but again they don’t want to make her SAY that).

But did anyone think it was weird that they said nothing when she claimed to have been at the Capitol on Jan 6 when she was actually at DNC headquarters???
Why would she say she was there?? And why wouldn’t the moderators correct her in that assertion?

You're sure she never went to the Capitol at any point on January 6? Even before or after the S! went down?

Actually, she WAS at the Capitol on January 6. She was ALSO other places on that day.

I mean if you were “at the twin towers” at 6am on 9/11, but across town at another location when the planes actually hit, would you pipe in three years later with “…I was there at the towers on 9/11 and it was very scary…people DIED!!”

Or would you agree that this would be quite misleading and that this statement would give people the false impression that you were actually there when the events that “9/11” is known for were going down?

She obviously said it that way to give the impression that she was present at the time that the crowd was entering the Capitol, but she wasn’t. She clearly wants to elevate her position to that of a “witness” to the events when that’s completely false.

I bet this is the first time you knew that she wasn’t there. And is t it odd that she wasn’t there? Why not? Wasn’t she meant to be present at the Capitol? What was she doing at the DNC headquarters and why doesn’t anyone ever ask her about it?
Is no one curious?

Actually, your “to be fair” isn’t fair at all. Harris was indeed at the Capitol on January 6th — and that has been documented.

As to your concern about “voters (being) better off, that’s an overly general question, that you’re asking about millions of people. Some are, some aren’t. You have no idea what Harris thinks, and her view is likely more nuanced than yours. For example, people with health insurance thanks to the ACA are clearly “better off” in her view, while women and girls losing rights with respect to health care and abortion are clearly not better off in her view.

I think it’s weird that your posing as someone asking “fair” questions of Harris — when clearly you’re being anything but “fair” as well as either uninformed or posing as though you’re uninformed in the guise of asking questions about the moderators’ supposed “interests”.

NP and you’re right about one thing. Until this post I did not realize that she had been anywhere other than at the capitol building so I would not have expected a fact check on this. And when I read your post I rolled my eyes because I thought you were wrong.

The “better off” question was specifically addressing economically better off.

But nice spin.

You’re obviously quibbling. You’re deliberately strewing out your own misleading opinions — so that you can attribute them to Harris and pretend to critique her supposed motives. You dislike Harris. That’s clear. Just own it.

Guess who said he was there at 9/11?

Ah—but you had to look it up, didn’t you?
I bet this is the first time you knew that she wasn’t there. And is t it odd that she wasn’t there? Why not? Wasn’t she meant to be present at the Capitol? What was she doing at the DNC headquarters and why doesn’t anyone ever ask her about it?
Is no one curious?

I didn’t HAVE to look it up. Unlike you, I prefer data to misleading opinions.

Thank you. You’ve deliberately thrown out generalities in your “questions “. If you specifically meant “economically better off” you should have said so. Y

Perhaps because no one sees anything odd about the Democratic VP being at the DNC. But thanks Inspector Gadget,
