Trump & Harris debate: ‘An abject clown show farce. Period.’



The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has come to a close, and Dave Rubin isn’t buying the narrative the mainstream media is trying to spin about the candidates’ performances.

“The narrative of what you are now going to see is the hyper-competent Kamala Harris is the winner, and you’re going to see a new narrative being laid out in front of us,” Rubin explains. “Trump old and angry. Kamala Harris competent, commanding of facts, happy, smiley.”

“But that is really not what happened,” he adds.

The ABC moderators, Linsey Davis and David Muir, continuously jumped in to take on Trump themselves — which is not normal for a debate.

“This was a three-on-one,” Rubin says. “If this was professional wrestling, we would have thought this was a bit unfair.”

“They fact-checked Donald Trump repeatedly, dishonestly at times,” he continues, “they pushed Kamala’s lies and did not once go after Kamala for any lies. So it was an abject clown show farce. Period.”

While the mainstream media and leftists are cheering that Kamala won the debate, Rubin disagrees.

“I think Donald Trump did a hell of a job. He really did do a hell of a job,” he says, noting that debating with a person who “lies about everything” is not easy.

Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” summed up Kamala’s lies in a post on X, writing, “Kamala has lied about late term abortion, ‘very fine people’ Charlottesville, J6, ‘Bloodbath,’ crime data, border security, Project 2025, fracking.’”

“The ABC moderators are a disgrace. They’re propaganda. Pravda. They’ve sold their souls,” she concluded.

“That is just right,” Rubin comments. “Every single thing that she said, almost without exclusion, was a lie or a distortion. And she knows she can do it because the two people sitting there were in cahoots to make sure she could get away with it.”

Emmy-nominated sports reporter fired after he called GOP Sen. Tim Scott an 'Uncle Tom'



A TV sports reporter was fired on Wednesday after he called Republican Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) an "Uncle Tom."

Fred Gerteiny, a sports reporter for the News 12 Connecticut network, wrote the racial slur in a since-deleted post on Twitter. Gerteiny replied to a tweet by The Hill's Twitter account that linked to an article about Scott commenting on President Donald Trump's remarks during the first presidential debate regarding the Proud Boys.

Gerteiny wrote, "Thanks Uncle Tom," in the now-deleted tweet.

On Wednesday, Gerteiny issued an apology on his Twitter account, which has since been deleted.

"Earlier today, I tweeted a racially insensitive comment, when I referred to @SenatorTimScott as an 'Uncle Tom.' I apologize to the Senator, my colleagues @News12CT, and anyone else I may have offended with this deeply offensive tweet," Gerteiny wrote.

Gerteiny, who is white, claimed that he also "wrote an email to Senator Scott" to apologize for the comment.

Gerteiny was fired by News 12 Connecticut for the "racially insensitive comment" on Wednesday.

"News 12 Connecticut learned on Wednesday afternoon that one of its anchors acted inappropriately on social media. After reviewing the incident, the network released sports reporter, Fred Gerteiny, as a result of a racially insensitive comment," News 12 Connecticut said in a statement. "News 12 Networks has a zero tolerance policy for racism or improper conduct based on race, and prides itself on being an objective and unbiased multi-platform news company."

Gerteiny's profile has been scrubbed from the News 12 Connecticut website.

An "Uncle Tom," is a "Black person, especially a man, considered by other Black people to be subservient to or to curry favor with white people," according to the definition provided by Dictionary.com.

Scott told reporters on Wednesday that he believed President Trump "misspoke" during the presidential debate.

"White supremacy should be denounced at every turn," Scott said. "I think the president misspoke, and he needs to correct it. If he doesn't correct it, I guess he didn't misspeak."

President Trump has since clarified his comments from Tuesday's debate. On Wednesday, President Trump said he didn't know who the Proud Boys are and noted that the group should "stand down and let law enforcement do its work."

Earlier this year, Scott predicted that black support for President Donald Trump would increase by 50% in 2020 compared to 2016.

"President Trump will see a 50 percent increase in his African-American support," Scott told Fox News host Neil Cavuto in February. "It will go from 8 percent in 2016 to a minimum of 12 percent in 2020. He may even get to 15 percent of the African American vote, and that is game over."

Another black conservative had racial slurs thrown at him in the past week. Women's March co-founder Tamika Mallory called Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron a "sellout negro" for not charging the two police officers in the death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.

Daily Beast columnist and CNN commentator Sophia A. Nelson called Cameron an "Uncle Tom," who "is a disgrace to his people and his community."

Donald Trump Jr: Biden got 'the best of all worlds' at first debate



Donald Trump Jr. joined Glenn Beck on the radio program Wednesday with his reaction to the first presidential debate Tuesday night between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Glenn brought up an exchange when moderator Chris Wallace asked President Trump to condemn "white supremacists and right-wing militia" — despite the fact he has already done so repeatedly and just last week even vowed to designate the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist organization. By contrast, Wallace did not ask Biden to condemn Antifa, which the former vice president actually defended by calling "an idea, not an organization."

"This is the double standard that we go against," Trump Jr. said. "So, Donald Trump can literally call the KKK a terrorist organization. Donald Trump can actually do things to help the African American community, like prison reform [and] opportunity zones. Joe Biden gets to talk about it for 50 years, not do anything, have his own vice presidential candidate essentially call him a racist during the debates, be friends with the biggest segregationist in the world, push for a crime bill that destroyed so many in the African American community — but [they blame] Donald Trump?"

He also talked about the latest news on Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, and how, when it comes to the media, he believes Joe Biden "gets the best of all worlds."
