After calling out the chaotic nature of the debate, Smith immediately dove into the biggest moments from the Donald Trump–Joe Biden debate, starting by calling out the president’s comments with respect to the integrity of the election:
“Let’s mark this moment. Last night the president called into question the heart of our democracy — the peaceful transition of power. Is there assurance that it’ll happen? Asked to give it, the president declined, and openly sowed the seeds of distrust in the outcome… In the debate, the president told a group fo white supremacists — some of whom stood by those in Charlottesville with their torches — to stand back and stand by. Joe Biden declared the duly elected president of the United States unfit to lead, called him a racist, a liar, a clown, and told him to shut up. We’ve never seen any of this. Not in America. But from this we march toward the vote.”
On election integrity in particular, Smith said “every indication is there has been no widespread voter fraud, not in America, and there’s nothing to indicate there may be a problem this time.”
He contrasted Trump’s comments at the debate with what FBI director Christopher Wray said about the matter in congressional testimony last week.”NBC News and CNBC have seen no evidence to back up the president’s claims, and he’s offered nothing of substance.”
