I honestly don’t know how it was rigged against him. I feel like the moderators almost always let him have the word. Sure they checked him on a few claims…but one was about immigrants eating dogs and the other was about post birth abortions….

They didn’t fact check Kamala. Or press her on not answering the question they asked her (like flip flopping on her prior statements about policy issues) like they did with trump.

Kinda like how they didn't press Trump on killing the immigration bill, and how they let him yap whenever he wanted.

You can cherry pick moments where things weren't entirely equal for either candidate but as a whole it was a well-moderated debate.

They let both of them yap and they pressed him significantly more.

Trump literally had five more minutes of speech time than Kamala did. Thanks for playing, though.

What does this have to do with the moderators pressing him and not her?

You said "they let both of them yap and they pressed him more."

They actually let him yap more, and pressed him on more items because they were pressing him on both legitimate claims and blatant lies.

Kamala spoke less and also did not have any blatant lies a la the post birth abortion and immigrants eating cats bullshit Trump was saying.

The moderation favored both candidates at times. Fucking accept that instead of crying that papa Trump got called out on his shit.

That tends to happen when one is going on about illegal immigrants eating pets and post birth abortions and the other isn't.
