'People were concerned that statements were allowed to just hang and not [be] disputed by the candidate Biden, at the time, or the moderators,' Davis said.

That is not the moderators role. If someone wants to dispute what a candidate says, that is up to the opposing candidate in their rebuttal time. The moderators are not candidates - does she really not understand the difference?

Moreover, she doesn't mind her own, verifiably false, statements are now themselves "hanging out there"?

Really miss Jim Lehrer. Can't say he was completely unbiased but he did know what his role as moderator was. Ever since Candy Crowley they seem to think their role is to involve themselves in the debate and debate the candidates. The Crowley event was heralded as exposing the candidate she was arguing with, even though what she said turned out to be completely incorrect and she even admitted it herself later.

I saw the debate between the two men, but who was the black lady off in the corner?

Maybe I missed it but I thought Trump only talked about politicians who wants to let aborted babies die after they were born alive

I’d rather hear from the Republicans who keep approving these debates. The RNC. The president’s campaign team. Who are they? What are their names?

Why do they keep subjecting their candidates and Republican voters to these farcically rigged debates?

Are they aware that all of the moderators are Democrat activists?

Why are they not protecting their candidates?

How many times does this have to happen before significant changes are made?

Do they care about the Republican voters? If they do, why don’t they listen to their concerns?

The Democrats are making far more money off of these debates than the Republicans. The debates are almost always on Democrat run networks and cable news outlets. Why do the Republicans allow that?

I expect DJT to introduce to America a few who survived their abortions.

The anchor, who hosts a show on ABC News' streaming outlet, admitted social media makes her aware of how tough it is as a black woman covering the first black woman to run as a major presidential candidate to stay unbiased.

Like Harris, she’s a very partially black woman (maybe 1/8 black) who made a career taking advantage of Affirmative Action.

I thought she looked Indo-American.

It’s simple, the moderators were biased. They didn’t come armed to fact check Harris. She makes it sound so innocent, as a progressive would.

If you don’t know the rules before you break them, you have already lost your way.

Kamala AND her creatures are VERY lost!

Davis bemoans the fact that there is “bias” against her for being a “black woman”, but has NO TROUBLE IGNORING THE BIAS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR BEING A CONSERVATIVE.”

It’s all B...S...!

"There is a stereotype that I am acutely aware of that I can't be unbiased covering this moment," she told the LA Times.

One has to understand that any percentage of black ancestry, no matter how small, is enough for a person to claim full blackness, something Kamala has been doing for years.

Such a person is therefore eligible for all of the perks that go with being black, not the least of which is to insulate one from any suggestion of bias or racism.
