Interviewed on Fox News on Thursday, Penn said, They called Trump out on every falsehood but let Harris get away with one lie after another...Penn, on Fox "News" of course, doesn't seem to know the different between statements that are misleading or need a little context and bald-faced lies. And the moderators clearly did not call out every Trump lie.
For example, Harris said: "Economists have said that Trump sales tax would actually result for middle class families in about $4,000 more a year because of his policies and his ideas about what should be [on] the backs of middle class people paying for tax cuts for billionaires." An analysis from the Center for American Progress Action wrote that his tariffs will cost Americans $3,900 annually while the Tax Policy Center estimates $1,800.
In short, hardly "a lie".
But Trump claiming that "millions and millions of people" are "pouring into our country monthly" is a bald-faced lie. CBP has never recorded "millions" of migrant encounters in a month. The highest monthly migrant encounter tally was recorded in December 2023, when CBP processed over 300,000 migrants.
Trump was not live fact-checked on that lie by the moderators. Nor was he live fact-checked when he claimed "they [the Biden-Harris administration] had the highest inflation, perhaps in the history of our country because I've never seen a worse period of time. Inflation was 14% in the 1970s.
Trump lied repeatedly by some fact-checkers counts about a lie a minute so the vast majority of his lies went unchallenged. But when you start claiming babies are aborted
after they're born or Haitians are eating the pets in Springfield, you get live fact-checked.
But sure, cry some more MAGA tears for us, hclasvegas.

moderator Linsey Davis is a sorority sister of Kamala Harris...This little piece of stupidity has been addressed here. Harris graduated from Howard, a private university in Washington, D.C., in 1986. Davis was a 1999 graduate from Virginia's UVA. Alpha Kappa Alpha has over 360,000 members in 50 states. How is that even remotely relevant?
