That's the scummiest thing I've seen in a debate in the history of debates actually. We've had moderators obviously and overtly try to tear down candidates with loaded questions, but that's par for the course. They expect it. And Trump famously parried the one about Rosie
CBS promised they would not fact check the candidates. The question was about illegal aliens, and CBS tried to 'fact check' Vance by claiming that illegal aliens and asylum seekers aren't the same thing since they have an official status. Vance responded to explain precisely how the system works, that anyone can enter the country illegally and then apply for asylum and therefore be given a technical status even though they are by definition illegal aliens, and CBS cut his mic. Absolute fuckery, cutting a mic when called out on their perfidy
Yeah but then they said "Hey Walz, people say you lied about being in Tiananmen" lol. I like it.
I do wish instead of trying to fit in every topic they'd let them finish the topic though if someone feels like they can substantively respond let them until nobody has anything more to say. It's unusual that both parties actually seem interested in having a serious conversation.
