Lester Holt was wrong on the subject of "stop and frisk" during Monday's presidential debate. Is that criticism coming from supporters of Donald Trump? Yes but, more importantly, it is also coming from liberal sources as well including Ed Kilgore of the not exactly Trump-friendly New York Magazine.
You can see Holt make his claim about "stop and frisk" being ruled unconstitutional in the video below followed by Kilgore's critique:

This needs to be the first d@mn point made in the next debate!
If you make the decision to be a in-the-tank-for-Hillary media hack, at least have the decency to know what the f@#k you are talking about.
I thought he was wrong on that issue but I don’t know enough about penal code in New York to know and forgot look it up at the time.
Holt was wrong all night long.
I’m damned tired of our candidates having to debate two people.
That NYMag writer, Kilgore, is wrong in his assessment that Giuliani’s use of ‘stop and frisk’ was no deterrent to crime.
Yes, a NY trial court found stop and frisk unconstitutional. No, the trial court cannot overrule the Supreme Court which has repeatedly, with large majorities, rules stop and frisk constitutional.
The “moderator’s” comment thus made no sense - who cares if the trial court made that ruling, if we all agree that said ruling is contrary to established law?
Holt was just doing his job - assisting the Dem.
Even if he was correct he should have kept out of the debate and asked Hillary if she’d like to respond.
So, Lester Holt is an ignorant dolt. That really shouldn’t surprise anyone, should it? He’s a media hack living in the beltway cocoon. You don’t believe they are informed, do you? They all believe their own lies.
It really doesn’t matter if Holt was right or wrong. The low information voters will take all he said as fact and parrot it, and that was the plan. Deplorable.
Fine, now he should be made to apologize and suspend himself. Brian Williams lied and was pulled off the air. This lie was bigger ... Williams’ was a FIB, this was an UNTRUTH!
Guliani would definitely know.
I'm not so sure. For example, do you think the knowledge that the IRS might audit you would stop people from submitting fraudulent tax returns?
Oh wait, yeah it does.
Stop and frisk protects those who live in these crime and drug infested areas, those who don’t want it are involved in the drug trade or just plain color stupid
The moderator shouldn’t inject himself into the debate.
They should just tell the participants the time they have, read the dam questions then let them know when time is up and move on the next question. That’s a moderator.
Their response? `But how can we help Hillary if we aren’t allowed to lob her softballs, and follow-up her ad hominem attacks and inflammatory non sequiters?’ That’s an inquisitor.
During the section entitled `National Security’, both Lester and Clinton had Trump under cross examination for racism over his questioning Obama’s place of birth: an issue Hillary first pursued against Zero in 2008.
Did we hear Benghazi mentioned? How about the term `fitness to serve’? No, it was `stamina’ as if she were a long distance runner. Holt steered every `j’accuse!’ away from Clinton and to Trump.
Enough of this happy horse ****.
Yeah, he was wrong... but the sell outs in the press don’t give a damn... they had a dog in this fight.
