Megyn Kelly torched the ABC News moderators in a bold critique of Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, calling on Republicans to learn something.
The host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” declared she was “disgusted” and “ashamed” by biased moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis who have come under immediate fire following the first debate between Trump and Harris.
“I’m disgusted,” Kelly said at the outset on Tuesday.
“I’m ashamed of those moderators at ABC News. They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do,” she continued. “The person who runs ABC News is a close, personal friend of Kamala Harris that is responsible for Kamala Harris and her husband meeting and they did Dana Walden’s bidding tonight.”
“It was three against one on that debate stage this evening,” Kelly said, referring to Trump being repeatedly set up and fact-checked while Harris was allowed to slide.
“It’s very easy to look like, you know what you’re doing when both moderators are entirely on your side. Trump did the best he could under the circumstances, but it really was like three fighters in the ring pummeling one opponent and Trump tried to take them all on,” the former Fox News host continued.
“He did fine. He did as best as he could. He was thrown a few times to the point where he was unnecessarily defensive and he was getting angry. And so was I! Were you?” Kelly asked viewers.
“This was a mistake to trust ABC News with this debate,” she said, asserting that Republicans “must learn from this mistake” and noting how Democrats “never, never agree to do anything with moderators they don’t entirely trust.”
“This should be the last time the Republicans ever do this because those two moderators tried to sink Donald Trump tonight. The numerous fact-checks on what he said and none on what she said. None!” Kelly fumed.
“I don’t remember a single fact check of anything she said and she lied repeatedly. She just got away with it! In the moderator’s eyes, that was Donald Trump’s job to fact-check her. That’s correct. Except you didn’t employ that same tactic when it came to Trump,” she said.
Kelly zeroed in on how the moderators inserted their own opinions, highlighting how Muir reacted to one of Trump”s responses.
“Who gives a sh-t what you heard, who died and left you political analyst in chief? You’re supposed to be the objective news anchor of ‘World News Tonight’ That’s a comment you make to your significant other, David, not on the debate,” she blasted the ABC News anchor, calling his personal remarks “inappropriate.”
Kelly blasted them for being ” out of line” and noted that the moderators set up Trump this way “over and over and over again” in a format that was meant to put him on the defensive.
“That was the format, Mr Trump, you’re a piece of sh-t. Kamala Harris, isn’t he a sh-t? Thank you,'” Kelly mocked, calling it “incredible.”
“And then anything Trump said, fact check, fact check, fact check and their fact checks were full of sh-t,” she continued, noting that she was using her colorful language “because I’m mad, I’m angry.”
“I’m angry at them, at ABC, at my industry that I want nothing to do with. And I’ve never been happier to be outside and be able to say how I truly feel. And yes, even with some colorful words because that’s what the situation calls for,” she said.
“They’re trying to steal this election. They’re openly working to sink him,” she concluded, adding that felt the tactics would backfire as Americans would see through it.
