ABC Debate Moderator Linsey Davis Makes Stunning Confession About All Those Live Trump Fact Checks

ABC News debate moderator Linsey Davis made a remarkable admission about their attempts to “fact-check” Donald Trump during his debate with Kamala Harris.

Republicans were furious with ABC News hosts David Muir and Linsey Davis for refusing to vet Harris for her lies about Trump’s positions on IVF.

In a new interview, Davis says it was a conscious decision to fact-check after seeing how Trump and Joe Biden performed during the CNN debate in June.

People were concerned that statements could simply stick and not [be] “There was some contradiction at the time from either candidate Biden or the moderators,” Davis said.

Davis even anticipated Trump’s comments on abortion and IVF, saying it was “a logical step to make this public.”

She then admitted that they had tried but failed to get the candidates on the list when they claimed they had told a lie.

The presenter, who hosts a program on the streaming service ABC News, admitted that she has become aware through social media of how difficult it is to remain impartial as a black woman while reporting on the first black woman to run for president.

“There is a stereotype that I am very aware of, which is that I cannot report impartially on this moment,” she told the LA Times“And the anonymous Instagram people serve as a reminder every day.”

Muir and Davis repeatedly attempted to fact-check Trump during the debate, including on the Capitol riots and a claim about migrant crime.

However, Harris falsely claimed that Trump opposed in vitro fertilization during the debate.

The former president said he spoke out in favor of IVF when it was banned at the state level.

Former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer wrote on social media: “ABC is making a huge mistake by trying to fact-check this live. They just prove how biased they are. Harris made up an attack on Trump about IVF. ABC sat there and said nothing.”

A Trump campaign report revealed what debate moderators wouldn’t say: that Harris wasn’t telling the truth.

Davis even anticipated Trump’s comments on abortion and IVF, saying it was “an obvious thing to put on paper.”

The anchor, who hosts a show on ABC News’ streaming service, admitted that social media has made her realize how difficult it is to remain impartial as a Black woman covering the first Black woman to run as a major presidential candidate.

“Kamala IS LYING AGAIN. President Trump has said he wants to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have children, including supporting IVF in every state,” they wrote.

Linsey Davis claimed Trump lied when he said states would allow executions after birth.

According to Muir, Trump falsely claimed that immigrants in the city of Springfield, Ohio, ate pets.

Harris was not fact-checked by either of them during the debate.

Trump frustrated social conservatives by taking a more progressive stance on IVF (in vitro fertilization).

He declared that he would make the expensive procedure free for Americans.

The former president has further distanced himself from the issue, reportedly ordering the party to tone down language on abortion at the Republican National Convention.

Earlier this spring, Trump told advisers he was leaning toward a nationwide ban on abortion through 16 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.

However, he reportedly changed his mind after looking at some polls and has now said that abortion is something that should be decided at the state level.

In addition, the former president has repeatedly voiced his objections to states that have been too harsh on abortion.

He has condemned Florida’s six-week ban, calling it a “terrible mistake,” and during an interview with NBC on Thursday he added that women in Florida needed more time to decide whether or not they wanted an abortion.

Trump indicated he might vote to repeal Florida’s six-week abortion ban when it comes up for a referendum later this year, continuing his delicate dance around a major election issue.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, he gave a preview of his voting announcement by saying he didn’t think six weeks was enough.

But he avoided using the presidential veto if a nationwide federal ban came to his desk, even though his running mate had said he would do so.

During his time in office, Trump reveled in being the most pro-life president in history, taking credit for ending federal protections for abortion by appointing to the Supreme Court the conservative justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

This time, he is trying to please both parties on one of the most divisive issues in the election, saying it is up to the states to make their own laws.

The former president has further distanced himself from the issue, reportedly ordering the party to moderate language on abortion at the Republican National Party Convention.

This sparked outrage among some conservatives, including those at the National Review, which published an article titled “Trump Stabs Florida Pro-Lifers in the Front.”

In an attempt to clarify the situation, Leavitt said the former president “simply reiterated that he thinks six weeks is too short.”

Trump announced he would vote against the measure that would have maintained Florida’s six-week ban.

As the final weeks of the presidential campaign unfold and Trump tries to recoup some of the losses he has suffered since Harris took over from President Joe Biden, he faces a daunting challenge of winning over new, more liberal voters while also satisfying his base.
