New York Magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi on Wednesday night slammed CNN contributor Ana Navarro for claiming that voters were mocking former President Donald Trump after Tuesday night's debate.
President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris faced off in a debate moderated by ABC News hosts David Muiz and Lindsey Davis, during which the hosts were criticized on social media for “fact-checking” Trump more than Harris. Navarro bragged after the debate that people were “laughing at” President Trump based on what he had seen on social media, but Nuzzi interjected to point out that Navarro's feed was “curated.” (RELATED: CNN guest says Harris avoiding interview 'increased tension' at debate)
“Oh no, there was so much coverage,” Navarro said.

“But it's curated for you in your feed,” Nuzzi said.
While mainstream media pundits praised Harris' performance, voters were far more mixed: Six in 10 panellists questioned by Reuters said they were more inclined to support Trump after the debate.
“But people in the bar and people who were watching the debate were listening to Donald Trump and laughing at how ridiculous it was,” Navarro replied.
“Normal people aren't going to come to a debate party,” Nuzzi countered. “The swing voters who don't care that much about politics aren't going to come to a debate party.”
Navarro then asked Nuzzi if it was possible that swing voters had seen memes mocking Trump.
