CNN’s Jake Tapper calls out Kamala Harris for dodging debate questions https://nypost.com/2024/09/12/...-harris-over-debate/ CNN’s Jake Tapper calls out Kamala Harris for dodging debate questions CNN host Jake Tapper took Vice President Kamala Harris to task for not answering direct questions during Tuesday’s presidential debate on ABC. On Wednesday, Tapper said Harris was less than forthcoming about her policies, beginning the debate “by punting the first question on the economy.” “It went on from there,” Tapper said after playing a clip of her response. “Despite the economy being the number one issue facing the country, the sitting vice president generally reverted to talking points about a few of her policy proposals. Even Harris allies today are saying that she needs to talk more about what she will do for Americans if elected.” The host then noted another major question she avoided answering, saying “she also dodged” on the border. When asked how she might have managed the crisis better than President Biden, Harris began, “So I‘m the only person on this stage who has prosecuted transnational criminal organizations for the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.” “M’kay, that wasn‘t the question,” Tapper said of her remark. “When asked how she would break through the Israel-Hamas war stalemate Harris said this…” he continued, sharing the clip. “We need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out, and so we will continue to work around the clock on that,” Harri said. “OK. But again, how?” Tapper asked. Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment. Tapper, a vehement critic of former President Trump, cautioned he wasn’t “equating” the two candidates. “While by no means are we equating the two performances last night, it is also true that at times both Trump and Harris fell short of giving straightforward answers to questions about how exactly they would run the country,” he said. ABC has been blasted for how it ran the presidential debate, with many arguing the moderators were outright hostile to Trump while going easy on Harris. Tapper co-moderated the CNN Presidential Debate in June between Trump and Biden. _________________________ | |||

Why is what the moderators did any surprise? Remember George Stephanopoulos's phantom question on birth control and the pre-planned weeks' worth of stories after that debate? Remember Candy Crowley? The real question is why Republican candidates can't come up with a strategy to counter this. They know its going to happen. And, why is it these network news nutsacks are the only people deemed worthy to mod a debate? It'll never happen but I'd love to see a debate with a center-left mod, and a center-right mod not from the network media. For example Joe Rogan, and Adam Corolla. I bet you'd learn a lot more. Or they need to quit doing these debates. In the immortal words of Shorsey, "If you can't win don't play." _________________________ OH, Bonnie McMurray! | |||

Man, why do you even post this? First, who is surprised? Name one on here who was. Everyone already knew ahead of time that this was a lion's den Trump was walking into, that he was going to have to deal with the corrupt so-called moderators. And what happened subsequently only confirmed it. And that's only what folks are saying. That's the game Trump's team accepted. "Strategy to counter" what? If you're so smart, why don't you tell us your brilliant strategy, sitting here with 20/20 hindsight? Second, don't think for a second these corrupt media are getting a free pass to brainwash people. Thirty, forty years ago, when they controlled all of the media, sure, but these days, with all the alternative media available and independent journalists running around, they can no longer get away with it. They are being eviscerated and exposed for their lies. Even CNN is calling them (ABC) out. Third, you even admitted that a debate under a center-left or center-right mod will never happen, then pray tell, what's your suggestion? Btw, Trump did very well, afaic, despite all the doom and gloom bullshit out there and on here. Q | |||

I recall a few years ago when the left and media were chanting "facts aren't truth." Now this, like may other misleading mantras has been turned on its head WRT the pets-eating controversy. Not to mention the other damage done to our communities and economy by illegal immigrants. Just wait until they start to vote en masse for the type of politics they had in their countries of origin. Like Californians moving to Colorado, the malignancy will take hold and metastasize. We can stop it, maybe even reverse it, but it's a lot easier to never let it take hold in the first place. I was walking Clark through the streets of Rehoboth Beach DE this morning, wearing my Trump t-shirt, and got several "don't let the Haitians eat your puppy" comments. Not a funny joke to my mind, but it shows that this story has traction. Other comments on my chosen wardrobe were generally favorable with some being very much so. This in a town that is as leftist as any you are likely to find in this country. | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...=breaking_news_email Judge Dismisses Two Counts Against Trump in Georgia; Fani Willis Lacked Authority Fulton County, Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee dismissed two of the counts against former President Donald Trump in a RICO prosecution there, ruling that District Attorney Fani Willis lacked standing to bring the charges against him. Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee found that state prosecutors did not have the authority to bring those charges, which related to the alleged filing of false documents in federal court. McAfee allowed the remainder of the case to move forward, including eight charges against Trump. Trump and 14 co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges stemming from what prosecutors allege was a scheme to overturn Trump’s narrow defeat in Georgia in the 2020 election. Last month, Trump’s lawyers asked a state appeals court to remove Willis from the case over “racial animus,” after she gave a speech claiming that ethics complaints against her had been filed because of racism. The ethical complaints were later found to have merit, exposing an inappropriate relationship between Willis and fellow prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was forced to resign from the case. The news of two charges being dropped against Trump is the latest legal victory for the former president in what he says is a pattern of political prosecutions against him, at both the federal and state levels. Vice President Kamala Harris tried to use those prosecutions against him in the presidential debate September 10. SIGforum: For all your needs!

Donald Trump says he won't debate Kamala Harris again WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he will not debate Vice President Kamala Harris a second time, drawing criticism from Democrats after he was put on the defensive during Tuesday's showdown. Making his announcement in a Truth Social post, Trump criticized both Harris and President Joe Biden. Trump and Biden faced off June 27 before the incumbent dropped out of the race and Harris ascended to the top of the ticket. "KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" Trump said. Prominent Democrats said Trump was reeling from polls showing that Harris won Tuesday's debate handily. A CNN/SSRS poll published Wednesday found that debate watchers 63% to 37% said Harris performed better on stage during the contest in Philadelphia. Citing three national polls and one swing-state poll, ABC News/538 reported that "57 percent of debate watchers nationally said Harris turned in the better performance; only 34 percent said Trump did." In his Truth Social post, Trump referenced other polls claiming he won the faceoff with Harris, but he appeared to be referring to online surveys with self-selected respondents. Trump demurred about whether he'd participate in another debate before making his announcement Thursday. "When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH," Trump said. Harris made a low-key response, telling supporters at a campaign stop in North Carolina that "we owe it to the voters to have another debate." Harris' campaign called for another Trump-Harris debate just minutes after the Tuesday debate ended. Link | |||

I think Trump is going to rope a dope her, have her begging for a rematch and then he will say okay I did the first two on your terms now its my turn and then off to Fox they go. The last debate will be the one they remember, Trump knows TV and audiences. She won't be able to prep for this next one. | |||

Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged Veteran Democratic pollster Mark Penn said "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done [...] to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate." Penn is not the only one. https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter Mark Penn, a former top adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, called Thursday for ABC to launch a formal internal investigation into its news division's planning and execution of this week's presidential debate to determine if there was some effort at "rigging the outcome of this debate." ABC News came under significant bipartisan criticism because its moderators fact-checked some of Donald Trump's statements but not a single pushback at any made by Kamala Harris. Trump said Thursday that the debate was three-on-one and declined to participate in another one before the election. Anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis moderated the first debate between Harris and Trump, which drew 67.1 million viewers, making it the most watched presidential debate since 2008. But it has drawn scorn from both Republicans and Democrats for giving the appearance of bias. "I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don't know how much of this was planned in advance," Penn told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "I don't know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added. Penn, chairman of the Harvard CAPS Harris Poll, also said Harris has done a "good job" defining Trump as the incumbent and herself as the change candidate even though she's the sitting vice president. But he described the mainstream media's coverage of Harris' campaign as laughable. "It's a 50-50, race. He's [Trump] got more obvious tools to get across the finish line than she does and part of the thing here is that if the referees have their finger on the scale, it's harder to, you know, break through and overcome. And certainly, general media coverage has been fairly laughable," he said. Penn, president and managing partner of The Stagwell Group, suggested the Trump campaign mail out to every voter the ACLU questionnaire that then-Sen. Harris, D-Calif., filled out and indicated she supports gender surgery for illegal immigrants and defunding Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Other publications have disclosed a questionable coziness between Harris and Dana Walden, co-chairman of Disney and who oversees ABC News. The New York Times quoted Harris as calling their relationship "extraordinary friends,” and disclosed that Walden and Harris are neighbors in Brentwood, a wealthy Los Angeles enclave where Ms. Harris and her husband also own a residence. The Times also pointed out that The Waldens have donated money to Ms. Harris’s political campaigns since at least 2003, when she ran for district attorney in San Francisco. PJMedia's Victoria Taft published yet more information about Harris' connections with ABC News undisclosed by the network. ABC moderator Linsey Davis bragged in 2021 on ABC's live coverage of the Biden Inauguration about being sorority sisters with Harris. Mark Penn is not the only veteran Democratic pollster and advisor to criticize the lopsided moderation. In an editorial, Doug Schoen, an advisor to President Clinton and N.Y.C. Mayor Mike Bloomberg, lamented that Harris "was aided and abetted by two ABC News moderators who seemingly felt the need to fact-check virtually everything the former president said." _________________________ | |||
