During Tuesday night's debate, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis interrupted Donald Trump five times to "fact-check" his answers. They did the same to Kamala Harris ... never. The vice president was allowed to skate through the debate without substantive follow-up questions or pushback on some of her obviously false claims.
Kamala claim: 'As of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.' Fact check: Our troops in Middle East are absolutely in a combat zone, under attack from Iran, which the Biden-Harris administration has allowed to grow more aggressive in its use of proxies.
Kamala claim: 'What you're going to hear tonight is a detailed and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former president intends on implementing if he were elected again.' Fact check: The Heritage Foundation, an independent think tank, produced Project 2025, not the Trump campaign. Trump has repeatedly said he wasn't involved in its writing, does not believe in its policies and won't implement it.
Kamala claim: 'Let's remember, this is the same individual who took out a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the execution of five young black and Latino boys who were innocent, the Central Park Five.' Fact check: Trump's 1989 advertisement did not call for the execution of the Central Park Five. He talked about a woman raped in the park, but did not mention the names of suspects or who they were.
