  2. There were multiple points during the debate where you could hear in his voice that he was about to cry

  3. The debates are the most important place to fact-check live on all candidates so the viewers know who brings facts to the discussion.

  4. Their fact check was inaccurate, and they tried their best to cut him off so he couldn’t clarify.

    It was hilarious watching the mod flounder while he was correcting her, they eventually had to cut his mic so he couldn’t finish.

  5. Imagine saying this, knowing you’re on a live mic. It’s all very well whining about it after the event but “hey, you promised you weren’t going to stop me lying” isn’t the soundbite he wanted to come out of it.

  6. Some of my idiot friends are accusing the moderators of denying him his freedom of speech rights by cutting his mic.

    For people who claim to love the Constitution, they sure don’t seem to understand it.

  7. It’s kind of funny to see Trump yelling on TS like wrestling fan while his more capable and eloquent running mate lies his way through the debate.

    I think if this debate accomplishes anything, it will remind people that Vance is more than just a runner of couches.

  8. “*You weren’t supposed to fact check me! You were supposed to let me spew lies without interruption!*”

  9. Since when is not being called out for lying during a debate OK? I will not accept that there are two sets of facts. That’s not how facts work and it’s the problem with this world. Trump has his own. Putin has his own. It’s the reason the first thing dictators do is control or shut down newspapers and TV stations and contain the internet to their country. They’re full of shit and have to control the narrative to survive.

  10. Vance is the kind of guy if he brought you a drink at a party you would only pretend to drink it.

  11. And here I am, making all kinds of shit up because you SAID you wouldn’t fact check me. It’s a big gotcha by the press!

  12. I wish the host would have said to him.

    We did not have to check the facts for this. I was just clarifying what we already know. Haitian are here legally. I am just calling you a liar.

    And yet republicans will fail to see how that is a very problematic statement to come from a vice presidential candidate
