Several Fox News anchors criticized their colleague, Chris Wallace, for the way he handled the first presidential debate as a moderator. The debate was contentious from beginning to end with Wallace struggling to stop President Trump and Joe Biden from interrupting each other, launching personal attacks, and getting off-topic. Wallace repeatedly asked the candidates to let each other speak and at one point, Wallace raised his voice to end a clash between the president and Joe Biden. “Why should I be different from the two of you?” he said.

Correct https://t.co/6p4fZcHHQa— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 30, 2020 I rewatched the start of the debate. The 1st Q went to Trump who gave an uninterrupted 2-min response. Then Biden gave an uninterrupted 2-min response. Then it went back to Trump, whose answer was interrupted 3 times by Biden. If you didn't like it, blame Biden for starting it.— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 30, 2020

Here’s a sampling of headlines in major news outlets that purported to capture an exchange on white supremacy between President Trump, Joe Biden, and moderator Chris Wallace during Tuesday night’s debate.Trump refuses to denounce white supremacy, says ‘stand back and stand by’ on Proud Boys movementTrump sidesteps call to condemn white supremacists, points to extremism on the left‘Stand back and stand by.’ During debate, President Trump again refuses to condemn white supremacistsDonald Trump refuses to condemn white supremacists at presidential debateTrump Refuses to Condemn White Supremacy, Instead Telling Far-Right Group: ‘Stand Back and Stand By’Trump does not condemn white...

'Well, first of all, I guess I’m debating you, not him,' Trump said to Chris Wallace during Tuesday's 2020 presidential debate. Fact check: True. Debating one person is difficult, especially if he’s had oodles of alone time in his basement to prepare while you’ve been a little busy leading the country. Debating that person and a partisan media hack at the same time is just BS.That, however, was President Donald Trump’s exact plight Tuesday night at the first 2020 presidential debate, when he was treated to a two-on-one showdown with his actual opponent Joe Biden and his honorary rival, Fox...

While Trump failed to land the early blows he seemingly could have, Biden failed to make the case for why he should be president. The first presidential debate of the 2020 presidential election closed after 96 chaotic, bruising minutes that saw advantages wasted, interruptions abound, a failure by both sides to make a definitive case, and what at times seemed like a three-way fight largely focused on Democratic talking points.President Donald Trump came out of the gate hard, attempting to knock Vice President Biden on his heels with the kind of comments that have defined his interview style since the...

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will. Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden. Celebrities seemed frustrated...

Joe Biden is the gift to Conservatives that keeps on giving and Tuesday night's Presidential Debate was no exception. Under a banner reading "The Union and the Constitution Forever," I've never seen two candidates come out swingin' so quickly. It was a fight from the start and Biden, despite his unpatriotic black-and-white tie, was the one bleeding. Joe's blunders began almost instantly. When asked why President Trump should not nominate a replacement to Justice Ginsberg, Joe invalidated the 2016 election claiming the American people were "not going to get that chance” to have their say in the selection of a...

In a particularly tense moment during the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, both Chris Wallace and President Donald Trump pressed Democratic nominee Joe Biden to answer whether or not he would pack the Supreme Court if he won the presidency and Democrats took the Senate next year. As Trump pressed Biden, the Democrat said, “Would you shut up, man?” and added, “This is so unpresidential.” Wallace noted that Democrats, not President Donald Trump, brought up the issue of packing the Supreme Court. “Are you willing to tell the American people tonight whether you will support ending the filibuster or...

Others talked about it being a "big deal" and a "historic moment." Obviously, both candidates approached the debate knowing the significance of their performances. Both were ready, even raring, to go! Trump needed to defend his record and show strength; he did that. Biden needed to show that he had the mental ability to make sense and...

“Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.”- Warner Herzog This is my summary of the debate: Biden: “Liar! Racist! c’mon man! Clown! Shut up man!” “Court packing? I’ll pass Chris” “Hunter? Let me tell you about my dead son Beau.” “Police defunding? I’ll pass Chris.” “Chris? Chris? A little help here?” Trump: Wallace: “Allow me to state my liberal position in the form of a question.” “So you will not accept the result of the fake ballot count Mr. President?” Media: “Trump refused to condemn White Supremacists. Again.” No winner...

Fox News host Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, faced intense backlash on Tuesday night for what was widely deemed as bias in the debate in the favor of Democrat Joe Biden and against Republican President Donald Trump. One of the issues that Wallace was called out for the most was how he appeared to let Biden interrupt Trump but would jump in to interrupt Trump when Trump would talk over Biden. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade even noted the discrepancy and called it out on social media, writing: “Why is @JoeBiden allowed to interrupt? @realDonaldTrump is not.” Fox News contributor...

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday told President Trump to “shut up, man!” while refusing to say if he wants to add justices to the Supreme Court during the first presidential debate. Trump declined to tell debate moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News whether he would support adding justices to the court if Trump’s conservative pick Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to replace liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

His prayer is answered. Click for interview.

Trump says he has done more in 47 months than Biden has in 47 years President Trump said on Monday that he assumes Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s “going to do great” during the first presidential debate scheduled for next week, then went on to slam the former vice president. “I've done more in 47 months than he's done in 47 years and that's absolutely true,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” in an exclusive interview on Monday. “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace has been selected to moderate the first presidential debate between President Trump and Biden, the non-partisan Commission...

FOX News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace has been selected to moderate the first presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates announced Wednesday.

I watched the 2020 Republican National Convention on C-Span, largely because the screen is uncluttered with banners and preview windows and they hang around at the end of such events for awhile, particularly when President Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, or First Lady Melania is the speaker. I would try to turn to Fox for analysis only to see first up the shining visage of a Marie Harf or a Juan Williams, the Democrat who has lately been obsessing about something called “QAnon violence” whatever that is. Mornings at Fox have not been much better, with the likes former DNC chair...

It should be clear to you at this point that the American left is insane. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows joined anti-Trumper Chris Wallace today on FOX News Sunday. During the interview Wallace asked Mark Meadows what is on all of our minds — Will the Trump White House disavow the “dangerous” Q-movement? Mark Meadows handed little Chrissy a much needed spanking.

(snip) 'FOX News Sunday' host Chris Wallace praised Joe Biden's Democratic presidential nomination speech on a panel with Dana Perino, Brit Hume, and Karl Rove. "I thought it was an enormously effective speech," Wallace said. "Remember, Donald Trump has been talking for months about Joe Biden as mentally shot, a captive of the left. And, yes, Biden was reading from a teleprompter and a prepared speech but I thought that he blew a hole, a big hole in the characterization." "It seems to me that after tonight, Donald Trump is going to have to run against a candidate, not a...

Fox News had high praise for Michelle Obama’s address at the Democratic National Convention Monday night. Obama denounced President Donald Trump for creating chaos and division and failing to lead with empathy and competence. She urged Americans to elect former Vice President Joe Biden. “It’s very difficult to try to connect with an audience without an actual audience there with you but she has the ability to connect with people through the screen,” Fox News anchor Dana Perino said. “You got the sense when you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades. “She has that voice, she has clarity,...
