New York City Mayor Eric Adams Surprises “The View” In Debate Over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Unwatchable ABC daytime talk show “The View” invited New York Mayor Eric Adams on for its Friday, Nov. 15 edition in the wake of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as Secretary for Health and Human Services.

The program typically only invites Democrats (or Republicans who might as well be Democrats) to discuss current affairs, and Mayor Adams is no exception. However, The View got more than it bargained for when Adams unexpectedly began to defend RFK Jr. and President-elect Donald Trump.

The talk show hosts were skeptical of Kennedy’s appointment, but Adams acknowledged ongoing health issues with hormones in food and fluoride in water. They then began to question whether HHS officials would leave en masse once RFK Jr. assumed the role (which would actually just help drain the swamp).

“If we love our country, then no one individual should take us away from our mission,” Adams said. “If you’ve dedicated your life to a particular place… I dedicated my life to law enforcement; if a new commissioner came in that I disagreed with, I [wouldn’t] say I was going to resign.”

Calling on Americans to love the country, Adams continued, “Those are experts in this; they’re going to look at his proposals, do a real analysis, and make these decisions. It happens every day.”

The hosts then tried to shift the conversation to Adams’ reluctance to join his party colleagues in describing Trump as a fascist.

“We’ve reached a point in this country where we no longer want to engage in conversation,” Adams said. “They were even calling him Hitler; that was an insult to the millions of Jews and others who died.”

Adams’ remarks left some commentors on social media to ponder whether his views align more closely with the GOP.

Others were simply stunned by The View’s continual promotion of the left-wing agenda, particularly given Adams’ remarks.

Social Media Split Over Alleged ABC Whistleblower’s Affidavit Following Debate

A damning affidavit by an alleged whistleblower regarding the ABC News presidential debate has emerged on social media.

The six-page affidavit was reportedly filed in New York on Monday, Sept. 9 – one day before Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’ televised debate. The anonymous whistleblower, who said they did not endorse the former president, claims to have been an employee for over ten years.

It alleges that “many employees” of ABC questioned the fairness of the debate given the “common knowledge” that both moderators “are well known not to support Donald Trump,” adding that assurances were given to ensure a balanced broadcast.

Section four, pertaining to debate fairness, is the most damning. The affidavit claims the Harris campaign “received particular accommodations” such as a smaller podium for the shorter candidate as well as “assurances regarding split-screen television views” to favorably impact the Vice President.

The document also claims that Trump would be subjected to fact-checking throughout the debate while “Harris would not face comparable scrutiny.” It also alleges that the Democrat’s campaign was provided with sample questions after it imposed restrictions on questions relating to President Joe Biden’s health and Harris’ tenure as San Francisco Attorney General.

Social media users were divided over the affidavit, with many finding the claims “interesting”.

Others, however, were less convinced by its authenticity.

Neither ABC, Trump’s nor Harris’ campaigns are yet to respond to the document.

Kamala Harris’ Attempts To Change Debate Rules Offer Reminder Of The Last Time She Ran For The Presidency

Kamala Harris is hardly renowned for her fondness or scrutiny or challenging debate.

The Vice President has only agreed to one debate so far on ABC, where she will face Republican challenger Donald Trump in the first debate between the two political rivals.

Reportedly, the ABC debate on Tuesday, September 10, will follow a similar format to that of the CNN debate between Trump and President Joe Biden earlier this year. Microphones will be muted when it is not one candidate’s turn to speak, with no audience, pre-written notes or props permitted.

Harris, however, has been reportedly trying to amend the debate rules ahead of her first one-on-one with the former president. The muting of microphones is a particular sticking point for the Harris campaign despite Trump’s public non-preference over the issue. In fact, the muting was requested by Biden’s campaign team ahead of the CNN debate back in June following the chaos of the 2020 presidential debates, as presumably they thought it would be to the benefit of Biden. Clearly, they’re having second thoughts.

Many conservative commentators have alluded to Harris’ poor performance against the now-independent Tulsi Gabbard in the race for the Democratic nomination in 2019.

In that debate, Gabbard tore Harris’ track record as Attorney General for California to shreds, effectively killing off any momentum the then-Sen.’s campaign had.

Trump has pulled in Gabbard to help with his debate prep against Harris.

Social media users offered their own insight as to why Harris was seeking to amend the rules for her first debate in four years.

Another commentor expressed surprised that ABC was standing its ground over the debate rules.
