ABC’s debate moderators, Linsey Davis and David Muir, failed to fact check Vice President Kamala Harris during Tuesday night’s debate when she interrupted former President Donald Trump, disputing his claim that under the leadership of Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), the state allows abortions up to nine months. Despite ABC News itself reporting Trump’s claim as true in June, neither Davis nor Muir corrected Harris’s interjection. The moderators remained silent on at least 21 occasions while Harris issued false claims and repeated long-debunked hoaxes on live television. In contrast, the two frequently attempted to fact check Trump during the debate.
