Chris Wallace has received negative marks for his constant interruptions of President Donald Trump, and for his poor time management, but the worst thing about his moderation of the first presidential debate on Wednesday were the questions he asked.
Wallace's framing of the issue here was factually false and designed to make Trump look racist.
Will you condemn white supremacists? "You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups. But are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia group and to say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence in a number of these cities as we saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland?" Wallace asked.
'Why are you holding big rallies?' "Are you not worried about the disease issues, sir?" Wallace asked, minutes after Trump explained his COVID-19 vaccine plan.
Wallace felt the need to ask why a presidential candidate was campaigning on-the-ground and then insinuated that maybe he shouldn't be campaigning because of COVID-19.
Do you believe in climate change? "Mr. President, you said, 'I don't think the science knows.' Over your four years, you have pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accord. You have rolled back a number of Obama Environmental records, what do you believe about the science of climate change and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?" Wallace clarified his leading question by asking if Trump really believed in climate change, why would he have made the policy changes he did.
As Andy McCarthy points out, it was not Wallace who pressed Biden on his support of the Green New Deal, but Trump.
Oh, well, did Wallace clarify what's parts of Green New Deal Biden is against? No, needed to move on - Andy McCarthy September 30, 2020 6.
Wallace chose to ask Trump if he is going to tell his voters "to take to the streets" if the election results are not as desired.
'We'll come back to Roe v. Wade.' Despite promises to circle back to discuss the topic of abortion that came up during the segment about Trump's Supreme Court nomination Amy Coney Barrett, Wallace never brought it up again, even when he decided to ask science questions.
In the end, it was Trump who continued to press Biden while Wallace moved on.
