Sean Hannity rips ABC debate as 'most overt left-wing bias', claims moderators favored Harris over Trump
WASHINGTON, DC: Fox News host Sean Hannity launched a harsh critique of the recent ABC presidential debate on 'Hannity,' accusing the network of blatant left-wing bias.
Hannity claimed that ABC-Disney showed an obvious bias toward Kamala Harris, calling the debate little more than a disguised campaign donation to her bid.
"ABC-Disney, they want Kamala Harris to be elected. That was very clear last night," he declared.
Sean Hannity slams debate moderators for ignoring Kamala Harris’s flip-flops and evasive answers
Sean Hannity slammed the moderators for not confronting Kamala Harris about her policy inconsistencies and evasive responses, branding their performance as the "most overt, sickening display of left-wing bias" he has ever witnessed in a presidential debate.
He noted, "The so-called moderators barely asked the vice president about any massive flip-flops, changes in position – only since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee, never once followed up on when she failed to provide a straight answer."
Hannity pointed out the absence of follow-up questions on Harris’s stance on crucial issues like late-term abortion restrictions. "Does she or does she not support any restrictions on late-term abortion? I’d still like to know," he remarked.
Sean Hannity accuses debate moderators of hostile treatment of Donald Trump
In contrast, Sean Hannity observed that former President Donald Trump was subjected to relentless scrutiny from the moderators, including harsh treatment, constant follow-ups, fact-checks, and gotcha questions.
"Former President Trump got nothing but hostile treatment from the moderators, constant follow-ups, fact checks, and gotcha questions," Hannity added.
The Fox News host also accused the moderators of failing to fact-check Harris, claiming, “Zero. Not once.” Hannity listed several instances where he alleged Harris lied, including false claims about Project 25, the Charlottesville incident, Trump’s sales tax, and in vitro fertilization.
“She lied about Project 25, lied about the Very Fine People hoax in Charlottesville, that even left-wing Snopes called out as a lie. She also lied about Trump's sales tax. It doesn't exist. Lied about a nationwide abortion ban Trump has never supported. Lied about Trump wanting to ban in vitro fertilization, when in reality he supports federal assistance for IVF. She lied about Trump's role in Afghanistan and with the withdrawal,” he said.
Hannity took aim at moderators David Muir and Lindsay Davis for their failure to challenge Harris effectively, suggesting that the fact-checks were unfairly biased against Trump.
“The fact-checks only went one way against Donald Trump,” Hannity concluded.
Trump overshadowed Joe Biden in false statements during CNN debate in June
However, CNN reported that in a previous debate on their network, both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump made false and misleading claims, but Trump was notably less accurate.
Trump made over 30 false statements, reiterating previously debunked claims on issues such as abortion, tax policies, and the 2020 election results.
He also introduced new inaccuracies, including incorrect assertions about the US budget and trade deficits. In contrast, Biden made at least nine false or misleading claims, including errors about Medicare policies, troop fatalities, and tax rates.
