In Harris-Trump debate, who checks the fact-checkers?

One of the disturbing things about Trump Harris presidential debate that hasn’t gotten much news was the decision of ABC moderators to inject themselves as fact checkers and then to only fact check one candidate, Donald Trump, five times on several occasions the substance of their fact checks was wrong, so let’s fact check the fact checkers to set the record straight, when Trump said violent crime had risen during the Biden Harris administration, moderator David Muir claimed in quotes, the FBI says overall, violent crime is coming down in the Country. End quote, but a recent Justice Department survey found a significant increase in violent crime between 2020 and 2023,

violent crime went up. 37%

rape was up. 42% robbery was up. 63% and stranger violence was up. 61%

moderator, Linsey Davis, she rebuked Trump for saying that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Harris’s vice presidential running mate has allowed abortion in the ninth month of pregnancy and the killing of a baby after it’s born in quote, There is no state in the country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born. The ABC moderator claimed, well, Davis’s attempted fact check has since been contradicted by her ABC News colleague Martha raddat. In fact, she said she pointed out that there are nine states and the District of Columbia that have no gestation limits on the performance of abortion. A map distributed by ABC showed that one of those states with no time limits is Tim Waltz’s state of Minnesota. Minnesota’s Department of Health has reported that three infants were born alive during abortion procedures in 2019 Walt’s first year as governor, and they perished without receiving life saving care. Five more infants were born alive in 2021 and none of them was provided life saving care in 2023 Walt signed legislation to eliminate the reporting requirement that documented the eight infant deaths during his first term as governor. Waltz also eliminated any legal obligations for doctors, nurses and medical professionals to administer life saving care to infants born alive during an abortion procedure. And as us, Senator Kamala Harris twice voted against protecting innocent, born alive babies during an abortion procedure, and she erroneously claimed in the debate that abortions are not taking place as late as nine months of pregnancy. She’d be up to the candidates to fact check one another during a debate, but if moderators must inject themselves. They should at least have their facts straight and then be fair to both candidates. Do.
