CLAIM: Debate Moderator Chris Wallace claimed that President Donald Trump is ending racial sensitivity training.
VERDICT: FALSE.
Wallace, moderating the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, made a number of inaccurate statements in his questions to both candidates on the topic of race.
One was the claim that President Trump is ending racial sensitivity training. That is simply not true Trump banned a specific kind of racial insensitivity training, which involves Critical Race Theory. As Breitbart News previously explained:
Critical Race Theory is the idea that the major institutions of the United States are tainted by slavery and racism because they were founded when slavery was still legal in parts of the country. According to the late Derrick Bell, who founded Critical Race Theory, the very institution of private property is tainted by racism because of slavery. Even the Civil Rights movement was regrettable to some extent, Bell believed, because it created an illusion of racial equality. Only a massive redistribution of wealth, driven by the creation of socioeconomic rights, can cure American society of its systemic racism, the theory holds.

Yes, I was screaming at the TV: “Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project ARE NOT “Racial Sensitivity Training”!!!!!”
It should be ended.
I like, and get paid, to design electrical distribution systems.
I don’t want to hear about blacks all the time.
All the training has done is make me think every black doesn’t deserve the job they have.
Wall-ass also mentioned someone killed at Charlottesville, but didn’t mention the Trump supporter murdered in cold blood, or the police gunned down in the streets. It was a pathetically one-sided picture of the violence. Trump pointed out the most of the violence was from the left, but Wall-ace talked over him.
Trump missed big opportunity to differentiate between CRT and basic sensitivity training. The fact Wallace blurred the two was shameful, and Trump let him off the hook........
I don’t think the President has any business banning any kind of training unless it’s training for Executive Branch staff members. How about letting private businesses decide what kind of racial sensitivity training, if any, they want to offer and let the free market sort it out?
How many outright lies did Wallace present as fact, the Charlottesville lie reared its ugly head again as well.
Hope Trump remembers and corrects Wallace the puke next time
Guilty of not reading the whole article. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
Crusty Wallrus always prefaced his questions with hostile political speech, and it was usually demonrat bullsh!t. Trump interrupted him to point that out, and he didn’t like it.
Wallace would be a greeter in WalMart if it wasn’t for his daddy.
Wallace was the worst moderator I have ever seen .
Asking the President to denounce white supremacy and yet nothing about antifa, BLM or even his son being corrupt, or how about spying on his campaign.
Any training that tells White men they are born racist and evil is itself racist and evil and has no business being paid for by the government to indoctrinate the federal work force. My children are going through similar hokum at the corporate level and I am trying my best to reprogram them. After all, who could be against considering other peoples feelings?
Ive never understood why they use journalists as moderators. Idiots.
As Rush correctly points out, a debate is not the place for policy wonks. Trump said it was racist, and the irony was not lost on viewers.
I feel a bad for the current generation having to go through this nonsense.
Chris Wallace, Moderator-In-Name-Only (MINO).
This deceptive little fake needs to move to CNN to be with his friends. And he needs to be hounded if he ever shows his face again in public. Hes a shameless partisan and he didnt try to hide it. He did his best to hurt Trump and kiss the feet of Biden. Thats not fair! Thats not Just! No Justice, no Peace!
“I dont think the President has any business banning any kind of training unless its training for Executive Branch staff members.”
That is what his executive order applied to — the entire Executive branch, which includes the military. He doesn’t think taxpayer money should be used to destroy the United States.
There is no need for moderators, only timekeepers.
The candidates should be allowed two minutes to discuss a topic, the opponent has 1 minute to comment or question, the first person has 30 seconds to respond. Then it reverses.
