Trump rips Steve Scully 'hack' claim following canceled debate: 'His bosses are furious at him!'
Fox News ^ | 9 Oct 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

C-SPAN host Steve Scully has been hit with a tidal wave of skepticism over his claim that a tweet from his account reaching out to former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci was the result of a hack.

President Trump sounded off against the selected presidential debate moderator after the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) officially canceled the second debate.

".@SteveScully, the Never Trumper next debate moderator, got caught cold. Pulled out the old, 'I’ve been hacked', line. That never works. His bosses are furious at him as he’s lost all credibility!" Trump exclaimed.

According to a statement from C-SPAN, Scully "did not originate the tweet" in question. The statement added that the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was investigating the incident "with the help of authorities."

CPD later stated that "it had reported the apparent hack to the FBI and Twitter" as part of its investigation.

A spokesperson for Twitter told Fox News "We've no comment" when asked to confirm whether or not Scully's account was hacked.

Scully, who has not yet publicly addressed the controversy himself and could not be reached for comment, has a history of blaming "hackers" for posts made on his Twitter account, dating back to 2012 and 2013.

The Scully Saga has had critics howling.

"Hey C-SPAN, were the hackers screaming 'This is MAGA country!' while they were hacking his account???" asked Donald Trump Jr., alluding to the debunked hate crime reported by actor Jussie Smollett in 2019.

"Not buying it," political scientist Ian Bremmer tweeted. "Steve Scully the luckiest guy out there that there’s no debate, since otherwise they’d need to pull him."

"This is not going to go well," journalist Yashar Ali predicted. "If he was indeed hacked, it should be very easy to prove."

Why do we allow the left to always set rules and put their people in to moderate?

We’ve had one “debate,” we don’t need anymore where the President has to respond to a bumbling Biden and a pro-Biden ‘moderator.’

His bosses are furious at him as he’s lost all credibility!"

No they are furious because he lost THEM all crediblity. And here is Bob Dole explaining that this bipartisan commission is actually made up of never trumpers:

Tweet 3h ago

Senator Bob Dol @SenatorDoleThe Commission on Presidential Debates is supposedly bipartisan w/ an equal number of Rs and Ds. I know all of the Republicans and most are friends of mine. I am concerned that none of them support @realDonaldTrump. A biased Debate Commission is unfair.

Scully wants the American people to know he was hacked so much that...he deleted his account so that forensics are now impossible.

Nice to see that Sen. Dole is more coherent than the demented pedophile, Biden.

Scully claims he was hacked. What crap. Somebody is going to go through the trouble to hack his account and only write, “Should I respond to Trump”?

No, you moron, resign whatever position you have and pledge a life of self-Flagellation. Nothing can make up for lying your ass off.

AND YOU’VE DONE IT BEFORE!!!!!
