Speaking in a powerful rant on her podcast and radio program, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” former Fox News Channel personality and current podcaster Megyn Kelly sounded off on the moderators who ran cover for Kamala during the 2024 presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris that ABC News hosted on September 10.
During her bold and obviously heartfelt monologue, Kelly went on the attack against the support that Vice President Kamala Harris received from the two co-moderators of the debate, David Muir and Linsey Davis, saying that the debate was shameful and disgusting given the obvious bias of the network and its co-moderators.
Beginning her tirade about ABC News and its moderators, she said, “Well, I watched it. Did you watch it? I’m disgusted. I’m disgusted. I’m ashamed of those moderators at ABC News, they did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do. 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 also said, commenting on how the moderators seemed aligned with Kamala, “It was three against one. 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.”
Building on that, she gave her take on how the debate went, saying that Trump did “fine” given the circumstances, and that she was angry like he is over how it went. She said, “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?”
Continuing, she attacked ABC News yet more, saying that this is the last time Republicans should trust the channel. As she put it, “This was a mistake to trust ABC News with this debate, the Republicans must learn from this mistake the same way the 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.”
Further, she gave some explanation of how the moderators tried to weigh the scales against Trump, saying, “The numerous fact checks on what he said and none on what she said, None, 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.”
Roasting Muir for his attempt to fact-check Trump on sarcasm and arguing that it was highly inappropriate, Kelly said, “Who gives a shit? What you heard? Who died and let 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.”
Then, attacking the way the debate was formatted, she said, “Shut up. That is inappropriate. It’s not for you to make that call. Leave it up to Kamala Harris. Leave it up to people like me, who will play the sound bite and let the audience decide, but you are out of line, and they did it to him over and over and over again. And the worst, the worst piece of all of this is the obvious tactic by ABC News, which was as follows, ‘Mr. Trump, you said something incredibly controversial and terrible. Let me remind you of what it was. Do you have any regrets or thoughts on how terrible you were?’ Trump answers. ‘Vice president Harris, how bad is Trump?’ And then she’d answer, it happened over and over again. That was the format, ‘Mr. Trump, you’re a piece of shit. Kamala Harris, isn’t he a shit? Thank you.’”
Further attacking the network and moderators, Kelly said, “It was incredible. And then anything Trump said, fact check, fact check, fact check, and their fact checks were full of shit. I’m swearing even more than normal right now because I am mad. I’m angry. I’m angry at them, at ABC, at my industry, that I want nothing to do with, and I 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. They’re trying to steal this election. They’re openly working to sink him.”
Watch her here:
One of the more egregious instances of apparent moderator bias during the debate was when Kamala repeated the “fine people on both sides” hoax that has been thoroughly debunked, including by Snopes, and the ABC News moderators didn’t fact-check her on that despite having fact-checked Trump on much more moderate misstatements.
