Megyn Kelly says she’s "disgusted" and "ashamed" of ABC news journalists David Muir and Linsey Davis, who moderated Tuesday’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
"They did exactly what their bosses wanted them to do," Kelly said on her YouTube channel.
"The person who runs ABC News is a close, personal friend of Kamala Harris. … They did Dana Walden’s bidding tonight. It was 3 against 1," she said.
"It’s very easy to look like you know what you’re doing when both moderators are entirely on your side. Donald Trump did the best he could under the circumstances, but it was really like three fighters in the ring pummeling one opponent.
"He did fine, he did as best as he could. He was thrown a few times to the point where he was unnecessarily defensive, and he was getting angry, and so was I.
"This was a mistake to trust ABC News with this debate. The Republicans must learn from this mistake the same way that Democrats never, never agree to do anything with moderators they don't entirely trust.
"This should be the last time the Republicans ever do this."
Kelly also called ABC’s fact-checking of Harris and Trump uneven.
"I don’t remember a single fact check of anything [Harris] said and she lied repeatedly," Kelly said.
"She just got away with it."
