Remember back during the 2012 debates when moderator Candy Crowley decided to "fact-check" Republican candidate Mitt Romney? And she was wrong? The debate on Tuesday night quickly turned to abortion, and once again, Kamala Harris was able to get away not answering if she'd support any limits on abortion. Donald Trump brought up states that have laws where hospitals can deny medical care to a baby after it's been delivered. Davis jumped in an "fact-checked" him on that:

You don’t hate the media enough.
Moderator injects bias early on. Like Candy Crowley did for Obama.

.@LinseyDavis just pulled a Candy Crowley and tried to fact-check Trump during the debate, falsely claiming that "There is no state where it is legal in this country to kill a child after it is born." Fact-check coming @BreitbartNews.

It only took 22 minutes for @abc moderator @LinseyDavis to reprise the role of Candy Crowley and insert herself in the debate

This is way worse than Candy Crowley.

Both "fact-checks" so far have been false.
Shades of Candy Crowley's false interjection on Obama's behalf in 2012 https://t.co/iZ16OJfVaV

Candy Crowley, I mean @LinseyDavis, just made another appearance on a @ABC debate.

These moderators really are hostile toward Trump, as we knew they would be.
The moderators didn't fact check Kamala Harris on Project 2025.
— Abigail Shrier (@AbigailShrier) September 11, 2024
The moderators didn't fact check Kamala Harris on IVF.
They just fact-checked Trump for the fourth time.
Candy Crowley on steroids. #debate
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) September 11, 2024
How many times is Kamala Harris going to be rescued by the moderators?
— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) September 11, 2024
The absolute gall of ABC to keep “fact checking” ONLY Trump while letting her lie in every answer is infuriating.
