RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Accuses Presidential Debate Commission of 'Election Interference'

Source: Mediaite

With New Debate Mic Rule

Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told Fox News that she hopes the Commission on Presidential Debates “does not exist” after the 2020 election, accusing the commission of engaging in “election interference” with its new rule for the upcoming debate.

On the commission’s decision to mute the microphone of whoever is not supposed to be talking during the next presidential debate on Thursday, McDaniel claimed the commission is “stacked against” President Donald Trump and in favor of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

“Of course the president is going to debate. He looks forward to getting in front of the American people and debating Joe Biden, but he’s right, this commission has been stacked against him from day one,” she declared on Outnumbered Overtime. “It’s part of the corruption that we’ve seen in Washington. They don’t like Donald Trump.”

“This is a city that’s plugged in for Joe Biden, and to have this supposed non-partisan commission continue to make rule changes without consulting the Trump campaign, break promises that they made to the Trump campaign, to unilaterally make decisions that ended the second debate, it’s just really shameful,” she continued. “And they’re hurting the American people, and it is a form of election interference.”

It's amazing how much effort they put into yelling about unfairness and bias.

Trump will be at a disadvantage if he has to talk about a wide range of subjects, and isn't allowed to interrupt his opponent for two minutes at a time. That's not evidence of bias by the Debate Commission, that's evidence of his total inability to just be able to do normal human stuff.

When trusting the Dumpster to behave didn't work, the commission simply established a new procedure to insure the enforcement of the existing rules.

And the debate should not begin if his idiot children are not masked. And the debate stopped if they take off their masks.

And he says he will interrupt anyway even if his mike is cut off.

If your boy trump was anything remotely like a decent human being, if his behavior was any better than an entitled 4th-grader on uppers, that commission wouldn't exist. There would be no need for it. I'm sure you know all of the foregoing---be assured that the rest of us know it, as well.

....of the RNC for six years.

He was just on CNN and explained recent events and not so recent events. Some rules in effect were agreed to in June.

He also said ALL people in the hall will wear masks during the entire debate. And both candidates will be tested by an organization chosen by the Cleveland Clinic. No "honor system" this time - I guess they realized trump and family have no honor.
