In news very much related to Fraulein Leavitt’s meltdown on Monday, here’s an excerpt from the Washington Examiner’s Byron Dork York trying to balance the reality of the situation with obsequiousness in a brief interview with the Orange God Emperor in an interview about the debate:
A lot of Republicans were baffled in May after Trump quickly agreed when Biden challenged him to two debates, the first with CNN and the second with ABC News. Some in the GOP were skeptical, suspecting the debates would be structured and conducted in a way to disadvantage Trump. When asked about how the deal came about and so quickly, Trump said it was the result of what he believes was failed gamesmanship on the part of the Biden campaign.
“What they did, I’m pretty sure, is that they approached me with a debate that I couldn’t take,” Trump explained. “Dana Bash, Jake Tapper” – Trump referred to the CNN anchor as “Fake Tapper” throughout – “no audience, sitting down, originally sitting down, a dead debate, turn off the mikes when you’re not speaking so I can’t interrupt him… They knew I wouldn’t accept that because it was CNN, Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, I like an audience and probably he doesn’t, who knows? So they thought they would present it, I would say no, and they would say we can’t debate because Trump said no. So I said yes before they even gave me the terms. So he got roped into it.”
Naturally Dork doesn’t correct the fat bastard on the sequence of how it played out: Trump agreed to the debate before CNN publicly announced that Tapper and Bash would be moderating it.
UPDATE 6/24/2024 8:39 AM EDT: Yeah, they’re still shitposting.
You cut off my microphone for bringing up the debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies.
This proved our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly on Thursday.
Yet he is still willing to go into this 3-1 fight to bring his winning message to the American… https://t.co/EIsiKzvxeq
