VP Debate Moderators Quickly Come Under Fire for Helping Tim Walz: 'Even Worse Than ABC'

Share

Many believed that the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump was egregiously one-sided, given the two moderators repeated insistence to “fact-check” Trump.

Many others are now saying that Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio was similarly weighted against the Republican ticket.

In fact, in the eyes of some, Tuesday’s debate was even worse.

One such example came when the topic of Hurricane Helene came up.

The CBS News moderators quickly pivoted from there to question Sen. Vance about Trump’s views on climate change.

Many saw this move as a clear sign of bias by the CBS News moderators.

Were the moderators biased?

“Wow….they’re making the Hurricane Helene question about CLIMATE CHANGE,” Turning Point USA’s Savanah Hernandez wrote. “Americans lost their lives, their homes were destroyed and in response, the Biden/Harris admin sent billions of dollars overseas.

“And the moderators immediately go to climate change…pathetic.”

Others noted their opinions via social media that CBS News’ choice of debate questions appeared biased.

“The CBS moderators are even worse than the ABC. This is horrible. Would you deport children from parents. EVERY QUESTION is loaded for Democrats,” Bo Snerdley, formerly of “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” posted.

“The CBS moderator just helped Tim Walz. Asked him to respond to JD’s allegations, then cited 2 of the allegations. They’re guiding him back to his script,” Jack Posobiec of Human Events wrote.

“Amazingly, these moderators are worse than the last debate. I’m in awe of just how awful they are,” another X user posted.

“A completely random aside from Norah O’Donnell designed to critique Trump after the moderators immediately pivoted to climate change,” another X user noted. “Another 3v1 debate?”
