GOP Senator Demands ABC News Reveal Ties to Kamala Harris Campaign – What Happened to Fair Debates?

Once again, the mainstream media is caught playing referee in the political arena, and surprise, surprise, they’re not calling the shots fairly. The debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on September 10th was supposed to be a showdown between two presidential candidates, but instead, it turned into a 3-on-1 pile-on. With Trump not only battling Harris but also fighting against the moderators at ABC News, the whole thing felt rigged from the start.

Trump was constantly interrupted, fact-checked (often falsely), and bombarded with questions meant to trip him up, while Harris got a free pass on dodging tough topics. And now, new evidence suggests this wasn’t just a coincidence—it may have been part of a coordinated effort to tilt the scales in Harris’s favor.

A whistleblower has come forward with claims of inappropriate coordination between ABC News and the Harris campaign. If true, this is just the latest example of how the mainstream media has thrown impartiality out the window in their desperate attempt to prop up the Democrats.

But now, one Republican senator is fighting back and demanding answers.

Senator Roger Marshall Calls Out ABC News

In a bold move that has the left scrambling for damage control, Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) is demanding that ABC News come clean about any backdoor communications they may have had with the Harris campaign ahead of the debate. Marshall isn’t pulling any punches here—he wants the truth, and he’s not letting this blatant media bias slide.

From Fox News:
A Republican senator demanded in a letter on Wednesday that ABC News turn over any correspondence it may have had with the Kamala Harris campaign ahead of last week’s debate, alleging there was a clear bias on display against former President Trump.

“On debate night, it became abundantly clear that ABC News and its respective moderators had a biased agenda,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, wrote to ABC News President ​​Almin Karamehmedovic and Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chávez Rodriguez, in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

“Recent reporting has suggested the possibility that the Harris campaign may have inappropriately influenced the proceedings to benefit Vice President Harris and undermine President Trump,” he wrote. “If these and other allegations are true, the impartiality of the mainstream media will continue to be questioned by the American people.”

Marshall is absolutely right—there was clearly a biased agenda on debate night. It felt like the moderators had a checklist of how to make Trump look bad and how to give Harris a free pass. There’s no other way to explain the lopsided treatment. If there’s evidence that ABC News coordinated with Harris’s team, then we’re looking at a complete breakdown of journalistic integrity. And let’s face it, the American people are already skeptical of the media’s neutrality. This just adds fuel to the fire.

A Debate That Was Rigged from the Start?

So, let’s talk about that debate for a second. From the moment Trump stepped on stage, it was clear he was in for a rough night—not because of Harris, but because of the moderators. They interrupted him, fact-checked him in real-time (and not accurately), and even framed questions in ways that painted him as the villain. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris? She dodged questions left and right, and instead of getting called out for it, the moderators just moved on as if nothing happened.

For example, Harris completely avoided any meaningful discussion on the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, one of the most shameful moments of the Biden-Harris administration. Did the moderators press her on it? Nope. Instead, they let her deflect and shift the blame onto Trump. Imagine that—a botched withdrawal that left 13 American soldiers dead, billions of dollars in military equipment in Taliban hands, and women and girls in Afghanistan stripped of basic rights, and Harris gets away with avoiding responsibility.

Meanwhile, Trump was grilled on every single issue, including being fact-checked about his support for Project 2025 and the so-called “Proud Boys” comment, both of which were taken out of context by the moderators. It was a blatant three-on-one attack, and if there was indeed coordination between ABC News and Harris’s team, it needs to be exposed.

Media Bias Isn’t New, But This Is Next Level

We’ve known for years that the mainstream media leans left. But coordinating with a campaign to influence a debate? That’s next-level corruption. If there’s any truth to these whistleblower allegations, it would confirm what many of us have suspected all along—that the media isn’t just biased, they’re actively working to help Democrats win elections.

This wouldn’t be the first time either. Remember the 2020 election, when social media platforms suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story right before the election? Or how about the countless times journalists have gone out of their way to attack Trump while giving Biden and Harris a pass? This is all part of the same playbook: manipulate the narrative, suppress the truth, and make sure Democrats stay in power.

But the American people are waking up to it. We’re not buying what the mainstream media is selling anymore, and with senators like Roger Marshall demanding answers, the truth might finally come out.

What Happens Next?

Marshall’s letter is just the first step. If ABC News is forced to hand over their communications, we could be looking at a major scandal—one that would finally pull back the curtain on how deep the media’s bias really runs. And if the Harris campaign did, in fact, influence the debate proceedings, then we’re talking about a serious breach of ethics that could have long-term consequences for future elections.

The mainstream media has been playing with fire for too long, and this might be the moment they finally get burned. The American people deserve fair debates, free from interference and bias. If ABC News and the Harris campaign have been working together behind the scenes, they need to be held accountable.

Key Takeaways:

  • Senator Roger Marshall is demanding ABC News turn over any communications with the Harris campaign before the debate.
  • The debate showed clear bias, with Trump being unfairly fact-checked while Harris dodged tough questions.
  • Allegations of media coordination with a political campaign could shake the public’s trust in mainstream journalism even further.
