Trump Calls ABC News ‘Meanest’ Network Days Before Debate Showdown
HuffPost
"They’re very nasty. I think a lot of people are going to be watching to see how nasty they are,” the former president said.
Former President Donald Trump again attacked ABC News and its veteran anchors before Tuesday’s presidential debate, calling the network the “worst” and “most dishonest” on television.
“ABC is the worst network in terms of fairness,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a “town hall” event Wednesday. “They are the most dishonest network, the meanest, the nastiest, but that is what I was presented with. I was presented with ABC, George Slopadopoulos. He’s a nasty guy.”
Trump has repeatedly criticized ABC, which is hosting the presidential debate, since Vice President Kamala Harris secured the Democratic nomination. He has complained that he will not face off against President Joe Biden, who ended his reelection campaign after their June 27 debate. He has suggested multiple times that he may drop out of Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia, calling ABC “fake news” and saying it employed a “panel of Trump-haters.”
Harris and Trump had jostled over the rules of the debate, with the vice president’s team pushing for microphones to be live at all times. But her campaign ultimately agreed to a set of rules on Wednesday similar to Trump’s debate against Biden, including muted microphones when an opposing candidate is speaking and no live audience.
Trump has quickly moved to sow doubt about the fairness of the event and suggested, without evidence, that Harris would have an advantage against him.
