The Hill media reporter Joe Concha reacts to ABC & NBC's town halls and Steve Scully admitting he was not hacked.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Do you accept the results of?
Do you accept the results of
the elections?
The answer is yes, I will dot l,
but I want it to be the honest
election
question of expanding the
court. Still not a fan
im, not a fan,
it depends on how it turns out.
You were asked point blank to
denounce white supremacy. In the
moment you didnt,
why does it seemed like?
I denounced white supremacy?
Okay
besides you aint black. What
do you have to say to young
black voters,
as my buddy John Lewis said
its a sacred opportunity to
right the vote.
Did you hear what you needed
to hear?
I think so?
Ainsley president Trump and Joe
Biden facing questions last
night in dueling town halls and
here to react. Media reporter Joe
Con challenge.
Hey Joe
good Morning, Ainsley
Ainsley, im sure you did what
we all did flipping back and
forth.
What are your thoughts?
Oh yeah
took a lot of notes.
You know me
last night: look you had on one
station ABC Joe Biden, you have
George certify shop in plus
senior advisers to President
Clinton,
Amenable
Savanna, Guthrie, husband, former
chief of staff, to Al Gores,
two thousand presidential campaign.
We cant seem to find anybody to
do these things that dont have
connections to the Democratic
Party.
I came up with antagonistic, as
my word, that kept coming up over
and over
a debate moderator in this case
a town hall moderator who served
as a sparring partner in making
the show about herself.
Let me share some numbers with
you.
I went through the transcript
Ainsley
forty three questions by Savanna Guthrie
to President Trump.
That doesnt even include all
the statements that she made
during it as well.
Do you know how many questions
the audience got to ask the
whole reason we were having this
event a town hall,
ten
forty three for Guthrie
ten for the audience,
also for the first twenty four minutes of
a one hour event,
Savanna Guthrie was the only one
asking a questions until an
audience member was finally
allowed to do
so. Look Savanna Guthrie was not
there to inform voters in this
case, but instead to pacify NBC
employees, who were mad that the
town hall was even being held in
the first place and Hollywood
celebrities. One hundred of them wrote a
letter saying this event cannot
go on Ainsley,
so it was a farce, as we probably
expected, because this is the
movie we have seen over and over
again during these town Hall
Debates,
Ainsley many were expecting at
least one, maybe two questions
to Joe Biden about his son
Hunter, especially in light of
all this news, thats breaking
about his emails, his alleged
emails,
but not one question. Last night,
your thoughts
yeah, I think Ainsley
thats, the 11th commandment now
at this point, where thou shall
not bring Hunter Biden, any way,
shape or form
thought police are making sure
of that. Remember. If you share
even that New York Post story
on Hunter Biden, your account
would be locked.
Kayleigh Mcenany can tell you
that she is the White House
press secretary.
The Trump campaign can tell you
that their account was locked as
well.
So this is censorship that would
make George Orwell blush in
these situations.
However, did I find it
interesting that Joe Biden was
asked about packing the courts
and he said that he will let
voters know before election day
one little problem with that
twenty million people have already
voted Ainsley.
If eeven had a halfway objective
moderator with George
Stephanopoulos, he would have
followed wait a minute, sir.
Twenty eight million people have already
vote. You had dont, they deserve
to where you stand on this issue,
now
no follow up on Stephanopoulos
Guthrie kept asking Donald Trump
over and over again, if he
denounced white Supreme. Since I
keep on, as I have for years,
goes on. Lester Holt Joe Biden a
week before Guthrie follows with
this answer,
so this is a little bit of a
dodge after he says it twice.
So then he says. So are you
ready?
Are you listening?
I denounce white supremacy and
she says: do you feel that
sometimes you are hesitant to do
so like you want to so he
says it four times and she is
still accusing him of not
thoroughly denouncing white
supremacy.
This is just amazing.
We have questions on Qanon and
none on immigration and economy.
Guthrie brings up taxes, not in
the way you would think, raise
taxes or lower taxes. In terms of
your plans, she brings up trumps
taxes instead, which basically no
one cares about. We have seen to
this point
a complete and total farce,
Ainsley
Ainsley. When you go back to
court packing did he say? Yes, he
said depending on how they
handle this when he said he is
going to announce his decision
before the election.
He said yes, depending on how
they handle
this, so it wasnt it leaves
the door open at least
lets talk about this
Steve Scully was supposed to be
the moderator for the debate
last night.
Obviously, the debate was
canceled.
He works at C span
and he tweeted that out
accidentally to Anthony
Scaramucci said he was hacked
now he is admitting that he lied
about it.
Here is his statement.
I heard president Trump go on
national television twice and at
allfalsely attack me out of
frustration. I incident is a
brief tweet to Anthony
Scaramucci. When I sawing
controversy I claimed I was
hacked.
These are both errors in
judgment, for which I am totally
responsible.
He went on to ask for
forgiveness
C span suspended him,
did not fire him.
Are people going to be able to
trust him going forward?
Obviously, not at this point
look that dog didnt hunt from
the very beginning, Ainsley
Scully, never put out a statement
after he said he was hacked
saying that this didnt happen
and then think about this.
If you are hackers and get into
a presidential debate,
moderators account. Does the
conversation really go? Okay, we
are in what do we do?
Send the Scaramucci tweet,
then what we do
nothing
we do nothing
it stunk from the beginning.
Bottom line is that the debate
commission really screwed this
one up
because they unilaterally
canceled this debate. That was
supposed to happen last night,
citing president trumps Covid
diagnosis, even though he has now
tested negative, multiple times
waited and patient and sculpted
consulted campaign and found
another date. We could have had a
second debate.
This situation with Steve Scully
made it a lot easier to cancel
because they would have had to
answer questions on not vetting
Steve Scully, on sharing a story,
no not trump, not ever, and the fact that he worked for
that debate.
That debate.
We have a feeling. We know how
that is going to go. Ainsley
anyway, got to go, threw out my
back horrendous year, heading
over to the chiropractor thats.
Why im slouching, as opposed to
your quite nice posture there
Ainsley
sitting straight up
Ainsley, you look great
your doctors appointment taking
up your time.
You normally love this time when.
