Title: Scully Pulls a Smollett
Post by: Ben on October 15, 2020, 04:43:28 PM: Steve Scully, who was to be the "unbiased and unimpeachable" moderator of debate #2, appears to be a liar after all. You may recall that he sent Trump hater the mooch a message asking him how to respond to Trump. It was supposed to be private, but he tweeted it instead. He then said his account was hacked and all the celebrity progs came to his defense in a "how dare you accuse him!" way. One example:

FACT -- if Steve Scully says he didn't send it you can take it to the bank. Period. Anyone who questions him or makes accusations is a damn liar.

Yeah, well, he lied and has been suspended from CSPAN. :laugh:

Anyway, looks like Trump wins again with the second debate being called off, or he would have been stuck with another Never Trumper as a moderator.
