CBS Debate Features Inaccurate Fact Check of True Statement
JD Vance was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a “fact check.”
“Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,” she said smugly.
Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”
He then proceeded to truthfully, forcefully explain what “legal status” means:
“So there’s an application called the CBP One app, where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole, and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand.”
At which point CBS decided to CUT OFF HIS MIC.
This was the most shameful moment in a long history of shameful moments by moderators biased against Republicans. They “fact checked” the truth, then stopped the politician from responding.
It was made all the more partisan by the face that when Gov. Tim Walz told the howler that “illegal border crossings are down compared to when Donald Trump left office,” which is not even close to true, no one let out of a peep. Some “facts” are too good to check.
