Trump Says, Again, ABC News Is Unfair As He Leaves Door Open To Bail On Debate

Source: Huff Post

Sep 2, 2024, 12:23 AM EDT


Former President Donald Trump again attacked ABC News as he continues to lay the groundwork for a last-minute withdrawal from the next debate, saying the network was unfair and employed “terrible” journalists.

“ABC is probably the worst in terms of fairness,” Trump said during a friendly interview with Fox News’ Mark Levin that aired Sunday. “George Flopadopoulos, the people they have are just, they’re just terrible, Jonathan Karl.”

ABC News is set to host the next presidential debate on Sept. 10 in Philadelphia, the first time Trump will face off against Vice President Kamala Harris in what will be her first debate appearance since she won the Democratic nomination. Anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis will moderate.

Trump has repeatedly suggested he may duck out of the face-off as it inches closer. Late last month he said ABC was “fake news” peppered with a “panel of Trump-haters.” And he previously said the network was “very biased” while complaining that he had already spent “time and money” challenging President Joe Biden.

Trump, we're on to you. Nobody is "graced" by any decision you make on this.

The chicken dance has an honorable history, and it takes a great deal of courage to get up in public to do it. Well, that and a bunch of beer.

Nobody but your brain dead MAGAts give a damn. What will you do if you don't debate? Go to Arlington and piss on some heroes' graves? You worthless piece of shit.

You know they won’t give him softball questions and will push back on him asking to further elaborate. Unlike Dana Bash who gave him evasive questions he could bs on with his regular playbook of lying talking points.

So please, Orangina, drop out. We can mock your cowardice and get a free hour of prime time advertising for the Democratic ticket!

I read Kamala's book a few years ago, and I know she's got some great stories to tell also.

If Kamala really got a whole hour on national TV, the entire country would fall in love with her!
