Moderator in upcoming Vance-Walz debate is linked to Lincoln Project
American Thinker ^ | 29 Sep, 2024 | Monica Showalter

Is there no one in the mainstream media without a conflict of interest that somehow always favors Kamala Harris?

That's what we saw in the last badly moderated debate from two ABC News hosts, one of whom was a Kamala Harris college sorority sister, and both of whom declined to fact-check Harris, while doing a horrible job of that unasked-for task by targeting President Trump. There's also a whistleblower allegation that they kept certain questions about Harris's record from being brought up and gave the Harris camp a gander at what they would cover.

Now we have this -- ZeroHedge's Tyler Durden ran this piece by BenSellers at HeadlineUSA:

The husband of one of the two moderators in next week’s CBS News debate featuring vice presidential candidates J.D. Vance and Tim Walz appears to have made two donations of $250 apiece to the controversial Lincoln Project during the 2020 election.

Records from the Federal Election Commission show that Ali “Yado” Yakub, the husband of Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, contributed on July 2 and Sept. 26 of that year to the anti-Trump super-PAC.

Voting records confirmed that the address listed was the residence of Yakub, who was registered as a Republican, and Brennan, who was registered as an independent.

Many have observed that registration offers no indication about political preference, with Democrats during the recent primary—in which President Joe Biden ran largely uncontested—frequently changing their party identification to vote against Trump.

Yakub also made contributions to ActBlue in 2019, including two that were earmarked for the primary campaign of future Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

I expect JD Vance to spend 25 - 50% of his time attacking and insulting the Moderators.

The media is the enemy.
Waltz? He’s a nobody.

You will not find a honest journalist within the alphabet channels. Mostly because they are all biased democrats and or Propagandists.

Vance needs to pull out of this ambush or let him carry an M-16 and a box of grenades to shut those far left turd rollers up. This crap isn’t debates. Debates don’t have piling on by fags and their butt buddies.

I hope that JD utterly DESTROYS Tampon Tim AND the Corrupt Media.

I refuse to watch this travesty, but I’m looking forward to the “after action report” and body count.

WARNING: The moderator is in the bag for democrats.

Lame Street Media + Internet billionaires + Deep State = Army that’s out to destroy US Republic and establish their long sought after totalitarian government that controls everyone and everything.

I bet Vance handles the situation better than Trump.

The only “debates” should be 2 candidates sitting at a table with a list of 6-8 topics. Each gets a live mic for 5 minutes per topic. Afterwards, each gets another 5 to sum up their positions. No so-called moderator. If they decide to spend the evening screaming at each other that will speak for itself.

The network liars will be able to present him as 'a Republican?' CBS couldn't pass off Liz Cheney as 'fair'? Maybe too many people know she hates Trump. Guess the top CBS network guys know they can get this past the bimbos in the national audience. How tacky of them, but we already know who they are, don't we?

Charlie Brown continues to fall for the Lucy/football trickery. Repubs continue to walk into the debate trap every election.

When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

And yet... Republicans continue to willingly throw themselves on the corrupt MSM’s Mayan altar of political sacrifice to debate. This will never end until Republican candidates stop the self-sacrifices believing, “this time will be different”.

I don’t even want to hear it anymore. If republicans are too stupid to know it’s a set up that’s on them. They need to stop agreeing to debates on enemy territory. I’m so sick of their stupidity. It’s like Trump still counting on the secret service to protect him. He can be so smart and so stupid at the same time.

I would have more respect for Republican candidates if they’d just stop doing these debates. The Left will always control the narrative. They also make the most money from these debates. Meanwhile, right-wing news outlets are ignored.

Unfortunately at this time it’s a case of damned if you do or damned if you don’t. Not everyone is informed as we are. In other words, the legacy media carries influence over voters who believe them to be journalists instead of the democrats dressed up as journalists.

And, as usual the GOP candidate and/or the RNC agrees to the usual left-wing moderator. It’s a mystery to me.

Before Trump agreed to the terms of these debates with Biden. Trump’s position was, no more debates.
He came to this decision after the biased 2020 Presidential Debates

He changed his mind after looking at Biden and seeing he belonged in a nursing home.

As far as Vance not showing up, that would be a stupid thing to do. I’m glad you aren’t anywhere near the Trump campaign with advice like this.
