It’s the second debate and the same patterns are emerging yet again. The RNC promised that it would be different this time. There would be no more leftist moderators hijacking Republican debates.

Fox News Media’s Stuart Varney and Dana Perino alongside UNIVISION’s Ilia Calderón will be the co-moderators of the second Republican debate, the networks announced on Wednesday.

Why in the world is Calderon there? Do Democrats allow conservative journalists to moderate their debates?

Ilia Calderon is a spiteful and hateful leftist who previously moderated a Democrat debate. She has tweeted attacks against Trump and DeSantis.

But primarily Calderon is an advocate for illegal aliens.

Here are some of the questions she asked Joe Biden during a previous interview.

Mr. President, you promised a check for the families that are in need of that financial help. When exactly are they going to receive the $1,400 check? And for undocumented immigrants that are not going to receive this relief, do you have any plans to help them?

…

And to help the undocumented immigrants, many of them essential workers that are not going to receive the relief. Do you have any plans for them?

You can expect her to promote illegal aliens during the debate.

“They” need to ensure that it doesn’t veer off into taboo subjects.

The taboo subjects are the only ones voters want to hear about and not allowed in their scripted dog and pony show debates.

Since when did PerRINO start working for FOX Business?

The GOP is so done.

Stuart Varney is bowing to demands of the Murdochs by agreeing to participate with the lady from Univision.

“Why is Ilia Calderon, a Leftist, Moderating a GOP Debate?”

Something ain’t right.

It’s sort of like going to church and discovering that the pastor is a satanist.

I guess Chris Wallace wasn’t available.
