David Muir of ABC Committed A Freudian Slip and Major Faux Pas When He Asked Kamala Harris The First Question During The Debate. Did Anyone Else Catch It?

Muir's first question to Harris began as follows:

Vice President Harris, you and President Trump were elected four years ago...."

Oh, really? After that one, the remainder of Muir's question made no sense at all. I would have thought Trump would have jumped on Muir's gaffe immediately and corrected it--"You meant Crooked Joe Biden, right? (snicker)". He didn't. So Muir's "Freudian slip" revising the winning ticket of the 2020 election didn't get called out. Not by anyone.

I'll leave it to the collective Free Republic imagination as to just what Ronald Reagan would have done to Muir with that one.

Trump is living in that clown’s empty skull rent free.

[j.havenfarm]

Silly. Trump also referred to Virginia as West Virginia twice. What are we to make of that?

[LeoWindhorse]

I heard it and noted it again in replay.

I thought WTF!?

[LeoWindhorse]

Heard that one too

“I’ll leave it to the collective Free Republic imagination as to just what Ronald Reagan would have done to Muir with that one.”

He would have proudly endorsed GHW to continue his legacy.

What’s your point?

[Ann Archy]

MUIR IS FUGLY ! I would NEVER watch him again! He looked like LURCH!

[skimbell]

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[rktman]

I knew I heard that.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

LOL...good catch. So the ticket the past four years has actually been Trump / Harris? Does that make Biden an insurrectionist and usurper for acting as pretend POTUS these past four years?

[stanne]

I got that right away

Freudian slip? From the chosen broadcaster for the most important broadcast in his life?

That’s naive

He either:
Intended to put into people’s minds that Trump is running as the incumbent

Or

He is well aware Trump was elected

Or both

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree. He does look like Lurch. LOL!

[drwoof]

I’ll go with ‘Both’...

“there’s a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing. Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place; as opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place, you understand that some people need more, so we all end up in the same place, right?”

Oh dang - I didn’t catch that, either. Nice one.

In journalism, the rule is to refer individuals initially by their former senior Federal/State titles. After that, pronouns galore.

For example, Jimmy Carter would be initially referred to as President Carter even though its been decades when he was president; reading into this way too much.

“Let me just be very clear about this, I am opposed to any policy that would deny, in our country, any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public healthcare. Period.”

Why correct it? Trump WAS elected four years ago.
