An alleged whistleblower from ABC is claiming that they have in their hands some recordings that provide absolute proof that ABC News rigged the presidential debate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris who took on former President Donald Trump during their first and potentially last face-to-face event last Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024. I mean, it was pretty obvious for anyone who watched that whole dumpster fire that the two moderators were only fact-checking Trump and didn’t bother to do the same for Kamala Harris at all. The bias was glaring.
According to a new report from Hindustan Times, an affidavit that is from an “ABC Whistleblower,” who wants to remain nameless, is now starting a wildfire after it began circulating on the internet. The document alleges that Harris’ campaign worked closely with the network leading up to the debate.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman reshared viral screenshots of the affidavit, tagging Disney CEO Bob Iger and calling for answers. Ackman expressed concerns, saying, “I find the allegations credible as written, particularly because the affidavit was reportedly made the day before the debate and mentions details, like Harris’ smaller podium, that only became public later.” Though Ackman refrained from confirming the authenticity of the claims, he noted that they “substantively match” what unfolded during the debate, while also highlighting the moderators’ silence as raising “a negative inference.”
Ackman urged Disney to investigate the matter, stating, “Our democracy depends on transparency, especially concerning events that can influence the outcome of a presidential election.” The affidavit alleges several serious claims regarding the debate preparation and ABC News’ role. One of the primary allegations is that Kamala Harris was given access to sample or similar questions before the debate. If true, this would have given her an unfair advantage over Donald Trump by allowing her to prepare more thoroughly for specific topics.
Another claim is that Harris’ campaign blocked ABC News from asking any questions related to Biden”s health. “This issue has been a point of discussion throughout the election cycle, with some critics suggesting that Biden’s fitness for office should be more rigorously examined. According to the whistleblower, Harris’ team ensured that this line of questioning was off-limits.”
The affidavit also states that Harris’ presidential campaign exerted influence over ABC News in order to stop them from looking into allegations that have surfaced concerning embezzling accusations made against her brother-in-law, who has now been accused of embezzling billions from American taxpayers.
Additionally, ABC staff members are said to have been fearful of retribution from Trump, possibly implying that they felt pressured to comply with the Harris campaign’s requests to avoid conflict. The whistleblower claims to have secret recordings that prove the Harris campaign pressured moderators to fact-check Trump during the debate. These recordings, if they exist, could provide key evidence in backing the whistleblower’s assertions.
Moreover, it is alleged that ABC News was given instructions about which questions to steer clear of during the debate, implying that the Harris campaign had significant influence over the content and flow of the event. This control over the debate, according to the whistleblower, included a demand for live fact-checking of Trump while Harris faced no such scrutiny, even when she made statements that were factually questionable.
The article reveals that this whistleblower also put their John Hancock down on the affidavit in New York and has already mailed out a copy of it to House Speaker Mike Johnson.
