“They treated Kamala Harris like a guest on The View—all softball questions and free passes,” Owens said in a follow-up video posted to her YouTube channel. “Meanwhile, Trump couldn’t get two words out before they jumped in to fact-check him. It was a joke.”
Owens’ critique of the debate moderation has resonated with many on the right, who argue that the mainstream media has long been biased in favor of Democrats. Her comments have quickly gone viral, sparking a flurry of responses from both her supporters and those who vehemently disagree with her stance.
As expected, Owens’ comments didn’t go unnoticed by the mainstream media, with several outlets defending Muir and Davis against her accusations. ABC News responded indirectly, stating that the network’s moderators were simply doing their job by ensuring that the candidates were held accountable for their statements.
