The writer argues that Harris&#8217;s speaking \u200bduring the debate\u2062 allowed Donald Trump to benefit from her articulation of points that could \u200dfurther diminish her appeal to voters.

Donald Trump didn&rsquo;t need a knock-out. He needed Kamala to talk.

Nonprofits measuring crime say it&rsquo;s higher today than it was before Trump left office. The cute game Democrats and David Muir are trying to play is distinguishing &ldquo;violent crime&rdquo; from <em>crime<\/em> crime. Violent crime is murder and assault. <em>Crime<\/em> crime is robbery, carjacking, property destruction, and theft. Kamala, with the help of Muir, wants voters to ignore their stolen car and just be grateful they weren&rsquo;t raped.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the moderators lied on behalf of Kamala, who performed poorly. Kamala is leading a failed administration on every front, and the debate hosted by ABC was an attempt to lie again so that she might be excused.<\/p>\n<hr><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vice President Kamala Harris received an unexpected advantage for her first (and possibly only) presidential debate, akin to being lifted by John Fetterman. The moderation by ABC&#8217;s David Muir and Linsey Davis was so questionable that it warrants immediate investigation by the Federal Election Commission for potential illegal interference. However, such an audit is unlikely due to predetermined outcomes, so let&#8217;s discuss a few points. <\/p>\n<p>While the debate wasn&#8217;t a decisive victory for either side, Kamala&#8217;s popularity is already waning as she has exhausted the media&#8217;s manufactured narratives of &#8220;vibes&#8221; and &#8220;joy.&#8221; Donald Trump didn&#8217;t need a knockout performance; he simply needed Harris to speak\u2014and she did. Much like in her recent CNN interview, she showcased her lack of understanding, vision, and interest in governance.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was incorrectly told that he was mistaken about states permitting late-term abortions (they do), that crime rates are \u201cdown\u201d (they&#8217;re not), and that there\u2019s no issue in Springfield, Ohio\u2014where residents have raised alarms about Haitian migrants harming pets\u2014despite reports confirming these concerns prior to the debate.<\/p>\n<p>One notable moment occurred when Trump pointed out rising crime under the Kamala-Biden administration only for Muir to counter him with claims from the FBI suggesting otherwise\u2014a falsehood. Nonprofit organizations tracking crime indicate it has increased since Trump&#8217;s presidency ended. The Democrats and Muir seem intent on differentiating between \u201cviolent crime\u201d (like murder and assault) and other crimes (such as robbery or theft). They want voters to overlook their stolen vehicles while being thankful they weren\u2019t victims of violent crimes.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, the moderators misrepresented facts on behalf of Harris during a lackluster performance. She leads an administration struggling across various issues, and ABC\u2019s debate served as another attempt at deception aimed at absolving her shortcomings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2339620,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kamala-Harris-David-Muir.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33389,32438,40626,40627],"class_list":["post-2339619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-debate-struggles","tag-kamala-harris","tag-moderators-influence","tag-political-debates"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kamala-Harris-David-Muir.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2339619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2339619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2339620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2339619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2339619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2339619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
