In the middle of a Monday morning Washington Post piece about convicted felon former President Trump and his campaign’s insistence that they’re allowed to lie as much as they want without being held accountable during media appearances, the Post reports that during the September 10th debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, douchebag campaign co-chair Chris LaCivita and milkshake abortion guy Jason Miller “erupted at ABC executives and journalists,” imploring “the network to stop fact-checking for the rest of the event and said it had breached its promise,” with other campaign co-chair Susie Wiles calling the ABC News president. “At least one Trump adviser demanded to talk to the moderators during the debate,” the Post writes.

The article seems to indicate that this freakout was specifically in response to moderator David Muir telling the candidates and the audience that the Springfield, Ohio city manager had spoken with ABC News reporters and “told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.”

“Every candidate is opposed to fact checking on some degree, but if you’re Trump, you know they are always going to go after you harder,” one minion told the Post, which is like saying the federal criminal justice system goes after Trump harder than it does other former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush. The anonymous lamprey’s quote comes after the Post details the collapse of the 60 Minutes interview negotiations with CBS News which, of course, was over fact checks, which the network had planned on interspersing into the broadcast of the pre-recorded interview.
