House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on “Morning Joe,” and reacted to the first Trump-Biden presidential debate.

Nancy Pelosi had suggested to Joe Biden not debate President Trump at all on multiple occasions.

“I’m just sorry that they didn’t turn off the microphone when it was Joe Biden’s turn to speak and turn it on when it was the president’s turn to speak, and we would have not had this disruption,” she added.

“You would have thought that would have been a simple thing to do. He’s been enabled his whole life, and now the American people are paying a price, paying a price for the fact that no one has ever said to him, ‘no.’”

“It was really a sad night for our Country in that the President of the United States would not disassociate himself from White Supremacists and terrorists in our country,” Pelosi said.

“I lost a lot of sleep last night over that one fact,” Pelosi said.

“But I did know that he has never respected the dignity of his office and he demonstrated that last night.”

“I think the one thing he did present was the authenticity of who he is,” she added.

This was the exchange House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was referring to.

Fox News colleagues blasted host Chris Wallace on his debate performance as moderator for not holding control of the event.

“Why is @JoeBiden allowed to interrupt? @realDonaldTrump is not,” Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade tweeted, in addition to other tweets criticizing the moderation of the debate.

Before the debate began, Kilmeade predicted, “Chris Wallace best moderator in America will be awesome!!”

Fox News host Laura Ingraham also pointed out that Trump was debating two people instead of just Biden.

Andrew McCarthy also took a shot at Wallace for not pressuring Joe Biden to answer the questions presented, also adding that though he loves Wallace, he should “get out of the way.”

Fox News contributor Dan Bongino also said that President Trump was debating both Wallace and Biden during the debate.

The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld said that Wallace laughing with Biden during one exchange “was not good.”

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly also weighed in on Wallace’s performance, suggesting he was unprepared during an exchange on Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, work in Ukraine.

Wallace and the debate were also on the receiving end of criticism from journalists at CNN.

Media reporter Oliver Darcy said that Chris Wallace was responsible for “the circus that aired on national TV.”

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper also blasted the overall debate as a “s—show” and “a hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck,” respectively.

An Ohio state representative announced her endorsement of President Donald Trump, citing low unemployment rates among black Americans under his administration.

“Not only am I Black, I am a proud American and delighted to endorse President Trump for re-election,” Rep. Bernadine Kennedy Kent wrote in her endorsement.

“Furthermore, I am honored to share with people my intent to vote for him and spread the word on the value of his leadership and his dedication to the American people.”

“We all recognize that gainful employment and economic development is the best deterrent against violence and social unrest, so I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to ensuring the success of the Black community in every way.”

She added that her “values” are more reflected by President Trump than in “Joe Biden’s divisive rhetoric, promotion of mass incarceration, and disrespectful, insensitive ideologies that substantiates his infamous comment ‘…if you’re still deciding between me and Trump, then you ain’t Black…’ during an interview on a popular African American radio program earlier this year.”

This endorsement comes after Kennedy Kent had been feuding with fellow Democrats in the state. She was voted out of the state’s House Democratic Caucus in 2018, after sending a letter on Ohio Legislative Black Caucus letterhead without permission. She is not seeking reelection.

“She basically hasn’t been involved with the party or her Statehouse job for a long time,” Ohio Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “This is the first I’ve heard of her in a while. Obviously, she checked out of her public position a long time ago.”

She said after her experiences with Democrats in the state, she “came to the conclusion that the Democrat Party does not have the people’s best interest in mind.”

Kennedy Kent also met with President Trump ahead of the presidential debate Tuesday evening, according to a pool report.

The New York Times dared to fact check Joe Biden on a claim he made about the economy and liberals had a complete meltdown.

One reason why liberals had a total meltdown was that the Times chipped away at his majesty Obama’s legacy.

During the debate, Joe Biden stated, “We [Obama/Biden administration] left him a booming economy. And he caused the recession.”

The New York Times said that Biden’s claim was “false.”

The Times wrote, “The economy was not “booming” in the final year of Biden’s time as vice president, and Trump did not “cause” the pandemic recession. The economy was healthy in 2016, but growth had dipped below 2%.”

The libs couldn’t take it. Many of them immediately took to social media and blasted the NYT.

After the debate, Steve Bannon made a comment on his radio show “War Room: Pandemic” that eluded to President Trump’s campaign strategy, and the data supports it.

Steve Bannon said, “Trump is not going to win over Karens in the suburbs, but he can win the Latino vote.”

In somewhat of a surprise that is sure to enrage the Democrats, an instant post-debate poll conducted on Spanish speaking television station Telemundo found President Trump the clear winner by the margin of 66-34%.

All though the person sharing the poll on social media said that the host stated the poll has no scientific background, it sure will displease the left.

Trump supporters, however, were quick to tout the poll on social media.

“Great news at Telemundo. Post debate poll. Trump 66- Biden 34. Remarkable shocker. Latinos overwhelmingly voted for Trump tonight!”

“The poll of Hispanic voters after tonight’s debate on Telemundo. Joe Biden has some work to do. That is a huuuuge voting block.”

Another tweet said: “elemundo poll: 66% believe Trump won tonight”

“Hispanics see the socialist Dems for who they are because many of them have seen it happen in the countries the fled.”

Matthew Dowd countered “Cspan and telemundo weren’t polls. They were self-selected. CBS and CNN actually did polls. Trump lost both.”

He was also easily countered with a few facts from the previous elections.

The CNN network has been wrong in their polls since forever. Even in 2012 they showed Romney at 67%, +42 from Ex-President Obama.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough took to Twitter and argued that Joe Biden should not participate in future debates.

Two more Presidential debates are scheduled as well as a Vice Presidential debate between Mike Pence and Kamala Harris.

Scarborough wrote “This is a disgrace, a low point in American debate history. There is no reason, not one, that Joe Biden should participate in another debate.”

Before that tweet, Scarborough had written “It’s an amazing thing, isn’t it? When Joe Biden is allowed to speak for two minutes he does well.”

“It’s a shame there are no rules being applied to this debate,” he added.

He also wrote “Hey Team Biden, if this continues you, pull him off the stage. And do not do anymore debates. This is a disgrace.”

Anti-Trump Republican Michael Steele replied “Agreed. Agreed. Agreed! This is a national embarrassment.”

Minutes ago, President Donald Trump clashed with debate moderator Chris Wallace.

“First of all, I guess I’m debating you, not him. But that’s okay. I’m not surprised,” President Trump said.

Wallace was questioning the President on his health care plan: “In the course of these 4 years you have never come up with a plan to replace Obamacare…”

“…You signed an executive order to protect people with pre-existing conditions 5 days before the debate,” Wallace continued.

“So my questions Sir is what is the Trump health care plan?” Wallace asked Trump.

“First of all, I guess I’m debating you, not him. But that’s okay. I’m not surprised,” President Trump responded.

“I’m cutting drug prices. I’m going with favorite nations which no President had courage to do because I’m going against big pharma,” said Trump.

“Drug prices will be coming down 80% – 90%” said President Trump.

After arguing on at least two different occasions that Joe Biden should not debate President Donald Trump at all, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi offered her advice to Joe Biden while appearing on MSNBC.

Nancy Pelosi’s advice?

“Be yourself,” the House Speaker said “Save the planet.”

While appearing on “CBS This Morning” Nancy Pelosi once again questioned the purpose of holding Presidential debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Gayle King asked Pelosi “You had earlier suggested that you didn’t think Biden should debate. Do you still feel that way?”

Pelosi responded “I do. Not that I don’t think he’ll be excellent. I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth, and actually, in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States.”

“He and his henchmen are a danger with their comments, are a danger to our democracy. So, I didn’t want to give him, you know, why bother, you know, he doesn’t tell the truth, he isn’t committed to our Constitution,” said Nancy Pelosi.

During an interview with two former conservative Pennsylvania politicians, Rick Santorum and Charlie Dent, “New Day” anchor Alisyn Camerota tackled the recent controversy involving President Trump.

Camerota asked former Rep. Dent first, who endorses liberal Biden, but she appeared shocked and surprised when Santorum suggested that the New York Times’ article on President Trump’s tax returns is a lie.

According to NY Times, the president did not pay his federal income taxes for the last 15 years, and only paid $750 federal income taxes for both 2016 and 2017.

The Times said it reviewed tax returns relating to President Trump and companies owned by the Trump Organization going back to the 1990s, as well as his personal returns for 2016 and 2017.

In an annual financial disclosure that he is required to make as president, President Trump said he made at least $434.9m in 2018. The newspaper disputes this, alleging that his tax returns show the president had instead gone into the red, with $47.4m in losses.

The Trump Organization joined the president in denying the allegations in the report. The company’s chief legal officer told the Times that “most, if not all, of the facts appear to be inaccurate”.

During the exhange, Santorum denied the allegations, saying that “if Trump is losing money, he shouldn’t be paying taxes.”

“You can’t complain that he’s not paying any taxes and then criticize for him … if he’s losing money, he’s not going to be paying taxes,” he added.

He continued accusing NY Times, “And by the way, The New York Times refuses to share the information with Trump. They’re refusing to show that they in fact have those documents. The Trump campaign …” and then Camerota interrupted.

“So are you … are you doubting whether The New York Times is really reporting on this? Is that what you’re saying?” she asked, looking stunned.

The former senator responded with, “sure you want to go there with the NY Times,” to which the host again asked if he doubts they have the information.

“How many Russian stories turned out to be not only true, but the reverse of what we’re now finding out about was going on in the FBI?” Santorum shot back.

Just as the discussion is getting better, the network had a technical error as rogue music began playing in the headphones of Camerota and the panelists, after which the dialogue ended.

After dancing around the issue for weeks, Joe Biden announced he will not agree to a drug test before Tuesday night’s debate.

President Trump again on Sunday morning said he will be demanding Joe Biden take a drug test prior to, or after the debate on Tuesday night.

“I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???” President Trump posted.

Joe Biden said no way.

President Trump blasted Joe Biden on Twitter.

“Gee, I wonder why?” President Trump said.

Biden’s campaign released a profane and nasty response on President Trump’s attempts to get Biden to take a drug test:

“Joe Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it. We’d expect nothing less from Donald Trump, who pissed away the chance to protect the lives of 200K Americans when he didn’t make a plan to stop COVID-19.”

A reporter on Sunday asked Joe Biden if he would take a drug test before the debate and Biden shrugged off the question with his signature nervous laugh.

“No, I have no comment,” Biden said.

Many are speculating that Joe Biden is taking drugs in order to be able to get through the day.

It really appears that Joe Biden can barely speak and he has called ten lids before noon in September alone.
