JD Vance was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a “fact check.”
“Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,” she said smugly.
Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”

That was excellent by Vance. That one exchange pretty much stopped the "fact checking" the rest of the night.

One of the best moments of the evening. Well done, JD.

With such bias moderators continuously being put forth by the so-called mainstream (liberal) media, the debate this evening should be the last such mainstream media moderated debate that the Republicans ever agree to do, and essentially just allow such debate formats to pass into history. In this debate Walz was all over map using vague political speak that you can bet that most people did not know what he was talking about most of the time.

I can do a fact check for everything. Assume the 'facts' are censored or outright changed. Rechecking things I read a year or two ago, the facts changed outright. Harris' ethnicity went from Caucasian/Jamaican to black. George Soros went from a guard at Nazi concentration camps to just a regular soldier. There are lots more so the fact checking tonight would have to depend on where they were checking.

JD was cool, calm, collected--and brilliant. To my mind, this evening, a star was born. JD is going places.

Another biased response by the moderators was they would repeat some hard fact Walz said, asking Vance to respond to that, and rarely did that to Walz who was allowed to freely answer the question. They were trying to control Vance. They did ask Walz about his Hong Kong lie, but then hit Vance with an entirely different question to shield Walz from having Vance expand on it.

Fact-checking you, Senator, even though we agreed we wouldn't, and now we are moving on before you can respond.
It was an egregious attempt to make Vance look bad, but his assertive response did the opposite. I'm guessing the ladies didn't cut his mic sooner because his audacity in confronting Brennan momentarily stunned them.

CBS agreed not to fact checking during the debate. They proved themselves to be liars and cheats. Vance handled them with strength and dignity. Walz looked like Barney Fife with rosacea.

Vance was brilliant. That particular exchange put the two harpies on notice that they were in the presence of a superior intelligence and they couldn't play their little gotcha game any longer. Vance was in total control of the process from that point on. And even Walz was deferential to him from that point forward.
We have a great new leader rising.

Pretty much all the illegal aliens allowed into this country under Biden/Harris have legal status* because Biden/Harris and Mayorkas have totally twisted how one applies for legal status in this country. They have broken all the rules on the books to protect these invaders. And hey Margaret - why don't you take in one of these Haitian families with "legal Status" since you care so much about them.
* - it's called temporary protected status while you wait to see the immigration judge on your asylum status and that wait is years in the making aka catch and release.

The problem with these smarmy know-it-all pseudo-journalists is that they think they know things that they don’t know. Neither one of these women were mentally equipped to take on Vance.

Every four years the Republicans complain about biased debate moderators. Apparently, they have not figured out how to even the playing field. Incredible.

Those setup moderators got set straight by JD...and I loved how he turned the tables on them...walz looked nervous and irritated most of the time while trying to defend his socialist views...and his history couldn't top JD's American dream stories...JD was masterful and it was quite apparent why the swamp was nervous about the debate.....looks like President Trump was right again in picking JD for the Vice President slot...

They just proved what all of us know here. . .if you go to them for information you will See BS. Hear it too!
Maybe, just maybe some of those who were unsure whether they were hearing the truth or not turned this dinosaur network off for good.

Yeah, right Margaret ... there are probably 4 Haitians in Springfield legally. What about the other 25,000?
I loved that J.D. hit her back! They even cut off his mike to stop the viewers from hearing the rest of his chastisement.
Notice they didn't correct ONE of Tampon Tim's whopping lies and exaggerations.

#4 and #16 - prime examples of why you want hardcopy (books, manuals, reports) - stuff online can be easily altered at any time and EVERYONE accessing that stuff after the change won't know it has been altered. Altering tens-of-thousands or millions of books/reports/manuals can't easily be done.

Vance is the kind of man Trump wants in the whitehouse!
I think he was fooled by Pences manner into thinking he was the man,
but last night was clear he picked rightly.
Best statesman I've ever seen.Period.

#19: Hard copies here. Paper lasts for thousands of years if properly stored. Digital media from >2006 can't be used; that's when DVDs took over from VCRs. We demand that all of our financial statements be issued on paper. That way, if all electronics go down, we have proof of our assets. Even if the holders wanted to argue that we could have withdrawn the funds after the paper statement, they won't because they have no paper trail, but we do. And there's precious metals too....

So, the two 'fact checkers' were just part of the leftist mob. Interesting. I guess that would also include their employer, CBS, too.
