WASHINGTON, DC: A pro-Trump pastor has come up with his theory to justify Donald Trump’s performance on the day of the presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Taking to X, Lance Wallnau claimed, “When I say “witchcraft” I am talking about what happened tonight. Occult empowered deception, manipulation, and domination. That’s what ABC pulled off as moderators, and Kamala’s script handlers set up the kill box."



 

“One-sided questions and fact-checking sealed the box. Witchcraft. It’s not over yet, but something supernatural needs to disrupt this counterfeit momentum because the same public that voted in Obama is voting again and her deception is advancing,” he alleged.

Netizens support Kamala Harris, call her a ‘skilled debater’

Soon people began slamming Lance Wallnau with a user on X tweeting, “Get help traitor you need it. Your dude lost! Live with it dumb dumb.”



 



 

Another user commented, “Weak men make outrageous claims rather than admit they failed, rather than own their mistakes. Kamala out-debated senile old man Trump, period.”

Another wrote, “Dude what drugs are you on and where can I get some ......... are you sure it wasn't the Lizard People and not witchcraft 🤷‍♂️.”



 

Someone else said, “I used to look up to you. I believe you used to be an incredible teacher for the body of Christ. I'm praying that once again your heart might be softened to actually hear the Lord instead of whatever it is this thing is that you do now.”



 

One user added, “Or perhaps she’s a skilled debater going up against a less intelligent opponent.”



 

“Men who feel threatened by women use Witchcraft, which is particularly useful when you have nowhere else to turn. An Evil Force Could Be Responsible for Your Bad Fortune! Try looking inward and get a grip on reality,” an individual suggested.

Another one mentioned, “Classic Lance. People I don't like are witches. Trump hung himself, Kamala and ABC just gave him the rope.”



 

A comment read, “Dear readers, Lance is a full-on racist and misogynist. When a woman, especially a woman of color, does better than a white man, Lance calls that woman a ‘witch.’”

Donald Trump called ABC News ‘the most dishonest’

However, Lance Wallnau was not the only one to call the September 10 rigged.

Donald Trump accused ABC News of favoring Harris over him and said, “I thought it was terrible from the standpoint of ABC.”

Calling out the debate moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, the 45th president added, “They are the most dishonest, in my opinion, the most dishonest news organization.”

Trump also noted, “CNN was much more honorable. The debate we had with Biden was a much more honorable one.”
