ABC 20/20 To Air Special: "How We Reduced Trump To A Babbling Moron In Harris' Debate Victory

Here Are All of Trump’s Wild Debate Falsehoods That Went Unchecked
LYIN' EYES

Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis didn’t fact-check Trump on
everything. Here’s what slipped by.


During Tuesday night's presidential debate, Donald Trump made at least 30
false claims—and he got away with most of them, in spite of the ABC News
anchors' robust fact-checking of the president in real time.

The moderators stepped in four times to correct the record on the former
president’s more outlandish claims during his wild showdown with Kamala
Harris, including his assertion that illegal immigrants are eating pets and
that Democrats support killing babies after they are born. They also
flagged his claim that “crime is through the roof,” pointing out data
showing violent crime has fallen.

Trump spent much of Wednesday ranting and raving against ABC News on his
social media platform Truth Social, posting in rapid-fire succession links
from far-right news sources siding with the former president, who said he
got a “rigged deal” from the network. He told Fox News the moderators were
“correcting everything” he said while letting Harris off scot-free. Why?
“Because they’re dishonest," he said.

But the moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, didn’t fact-check Trump on
everything. In fact, many of his other lies went unchecked. Here’s what
slipped by.
Immigration

Trump repeated one of his favorite false claims about dangerous illegal
immigrants flooding the Southern border. “We have millions of people
pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions
and insane asylums,” he said, adding that “21 million people” were pouring
in.

In reality, there have been about 10 million encounters with migrants at
the border since Joe Biden took office. Though there’s no publicly
available data about prison time or residents of mental institutions, of
the 1.4 million migrants apprehended at the border this year, Border Patrol
has found only about 1 percent have criminal convictions.
The Economy

Trump lied about the state of the economy during his own presidency and Joe
Biden’s.

“I had no inflation, virtually no inflation,” he said. “They had the
highest inflation, perhaps in the history of our country.”

Though inflation fell at the end of Trump’s term, the cumulative rate over
the course of his presidency was about 7.8 percent, according to CNN. And
though inflation has been much higher since Biden took office, it has
fallen over the past two years and came nowhere close to previous historic
highs seen in the 20th century.

Trump also said the only jobs created under the Biden administration were
“bounce-back” jobs that were lost to the pandemic but have now appeared
again. However, employment totals passed their pre-pandemic levels in the
summer of 2022, and the U.S. has added millions more jobs since then.
Ukraine

On the topic of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Trump alleged that Harris met
with Vladimir Putin to try to stop him from invading Ukraine but that
“three days later, he went in, and he started the war because everything
they said was weak and stupid.”

Harris didn’t meet with Putin, but she did meet with U.S. allies at the
Munich Security Conference in the days before the war began.

Trump also said the U.S. has given over $100 billion more to Ukraine than
Europe has. According to a tracker from the German-based Kiel Institute,
Europe had allocated and committed tens of billions more.
Joe Biden

At times, Trump seemed to long for his old opponent, mentioning Biden
throughout the evening. In addition to the wild claim that the president
“hates” Harris, his handpicked successor, the former president accused
Biden of receiving “millions of dollars” from China and Ukraine and of
orchestrating the criminal cases against him.

There is no evidence for either claim.
Other Lies

Trump also falsely said the Central Park Five “pled guilty” and “killed a
person,” both of which are not true. They pleaded not guilty but served
years in prison after they were falsely accused of the brutal sexual attack
on a jogger, before they were exonerated years later. Trump took out full-
page ads in the city’s newspapers against the five teenagers, suggesting
they be put to death.

He said former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi “was responsible” for the
Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol because “she didn’t do her job.” Trump
was indicted for conspiracy to subvert democracy for his role in the deadly
insurrection, the day he invited unruly supporters to come to Washington
and “fight like hell” to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral
victory.

He also wasted no opportunity to lie about his opponent on the debate
stage, employing a familiar attack about her previous presidential bid.
“When she ran, she was the first one to leave because she failed,” he said.

In fact, more than a dozen candidates dropped out of the crowded Democratic
primary field before Harris in 2019, including several governors, New York
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke.

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Memphis police said a 50-year-old man raped and threatened his girlfriend after accusing her of having sexual relations with another man.

According to the affidavit, the victim told police she received a phone call on June 9 from Charles Gause, 50, who was "very angry and upset" and accused her of having sex with another man.

The woman said when she arrived home, Gause "held her by her belt buckle, and forced her into the bedroom. [victim] struggled to get away, but couldn't."

She then said that Gause "asked for the magazine clip from her handgun, and stated she would have to kill him, or he was going to kill her."

The woman said she started screaming and was afraid he would kill her.

According to the police affidavit, the victim said Gause forced her on the bed and forced her to have sex with him. She said "Gause threatened that she would have sex with him all night until she passed out."

After he left the bedroom and fell asleep on the living room couch, she grabbed her clothes, cellphone, and purse, and climbed out of the bedroom window and drove to a hotel.

She called Ridegeway Station Officers on Friday, June 10, to ask them to remove Gause from the Raleigh area home. She said she didn't tell officers about the sexual assault at this time.

She said she confided in a coworker, who encouraged her to go to police and file a report. At the encouragement and urging of her coworker, she filed the police report.

The victim was granted an Order of Protection against Gause and moved to a different location.

Gause is currently charged with rape and aggravated assault.
