Tuesday's debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was far from fair. Moderators David Muir and Lindsey Davis of ABC's Democratic presidential nominee David Muir and Lindsey Davis fact-checked Trump multiple times and gave him little opportunity to defend himself, but did nothing to reassure Kamala.
But there was a moment when Muir actually pressed the vice president.
Regarding the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Muir asked: “Do you feel you bear any responsibility for the way the withdrawal unfolded?”
Harris' answer was classic: She dodged the question and turned it into an opportunity to lie about Trump.
“Well, I agree with President Biden's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. Four presidents have said to withdraw, but Joe Biden did. As a result, American taxpayers are not paying $300 million a day to pay for a never-ending war. And as of today, there is not a single American military member on active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world. For the first time this century.”
She then gestured to Trump and said, “Let's understand how we got to where we are today. Donald Trump, when he was president, negotiated one of the weakest deals imaginable. He called himself a dealmaker, and even his national security advisor said it was a weak, terrible deal. Here's how it happened: He bypassed the Afghan government and negotiated directly with a terrorist organization called the Taliban.”
Pat Gray and the “Unleashed” panel are fed up.
“These people were saying the Taliban are our friends now. Remember that nonsense?,” Pat says. “The words, 'They're not your father's Taliban,' actually came from one official's mouth.” [Biden’s] management.”
“And then after that disastrous withdrawal, they paid them millions of dollars,” Keith Marinak added.
“And they left billions of dollars behind to use against us,” Pat added, referring to military equipment left behind.
Although Kamala lied multiple times and dodged question after question, most agree that she performed better than Trump, but according to a call Trump made with Fox and Friends yesterday, he believes he won the debate and won't be appearing in the next one.
