In her Breitbart News article, Alana Mastrangelo highlights 21 claims Vice President Kamala Harris made during a recent debate that ABC’s moderators did not fact-check. The article critiques the media’s failure to challenge Harris, contrasting it with the scrutiny of former President Donald Trump during the same event.
Mastrangelo addresses specific points she deems to be false and misleading, starting with the “Very Fine People” hoax, in which Harris repeated the debunked claim that Trump referred to neo-Nazis as “very fine people” in Charlottesville. She also addresses Harris’s comments about Trump’s supposed involvement in Project 2025 and his stance on fracking, both of which Mastrangelo describes as false representations.
The article further explores Harris’s claim that Trump contributed to the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster and her argument that Trump’s trade policies caused high deficits. Mastrangelo counters these with data suggesting the deficits weren’t as severe as under previous administrations. She also calls out Harris’s assertion that Trump wants to be a dictator as another unfounded claim, especially in light of the Biden administration’s struggles with foreign policy, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Mastrangelo’s critique includes multiple “hoaxes,” as she calls them, regarding Trump’s stance on abortion, gun rights, and economic issues like a national sales tax. According to the author, Harris painted a misleading picture of Trump’s record, frequently revisiting debunked accusations and ignoring or distorting historical context.
The article closes with the assertion that ABC debate moderators did not challenge Harris’s statements, leaving the audience with a potentially skewed perception of Trump’s record, while the same scrutiny was applied to Trump’s responses. Mastrangelo stresses the contrast in treatment between the two candidates during the debate, pointing out Harris’s numerous unchecked claims, which she argues form part of a broader political strategy based on misinformation.
