“I was prepared to go on stage to craft a statement, saying he decided not to go on stage because of fact-checking… we couldn’t compromise on that.”
As [NABJ president Ken] Lemon was preparing that statement, Trump walked onto the stage.
Good for them for outing his bullshit, though him and his “Team” (Cheung) will just lie about it anyway. They called him out for lying, and that’s what’s important.
When he got there, all of a sudden they were black. He hadn’t noticed they were black before
They became black just for the interview.
It’s a small thing, but when you watch it he stopped himself from saying “went black” and instead said “turned black”. They’re both pretty bad, but I just think it’s funny that in his mind “turned black” was the way to say it.
110% weirdo words, either way.
I suspect the guy is so old, racist, and dementia riddled that he can’t tell Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris apart. That would somewhat explain the “turned black” comment.
“You’re turning black just to hurt me!”
Weird that he didn’t notice.
Refuses to go if fact checked. Provides a bullshit excuse for not going, gets immediately fact checked about it.
Suck it, Damn Old Trump
It’s so fucking annoying that the propagandists have already brainwashed his base into believing that fact checking is just “media lying” so they actively want Trump to refuse any fact checking…
We see it for the shit it is, and they like it. It doesn’t hurt him at all.
Kinda off topic, but I appreciate how nice and clean Axios is without an adblocker, and how concise and bait free the articles (mostly) are.
I don’t know how they stay sane and still make money, when the rest of the internet is worse than the Idiocracy TV.

It’s not quite the self-report that you think it is. Refusing to accept fact checking is a rational decision in the hypothetical framework that the participant is being honest and the checker is unreliable or dishonest.

Saying ‘nu-uh… you are…’ is right up his alley.

“I’m right. Everybody who disagrees with me is wrong. ‘fact checkers’ disagree with me, so they must be lying.” Is well within the person woman man camera TV brain.
I can find some comfort that at least inviting both candidates was the norm and the invite extended to Trump wasn’t a special one.
However, if anyone there was expecting anything other than the Trump campaign causing problems and blaming the hosts for it, I don’t know what to say to them.
When. You. Give. Trump. A. Platform. He. Will. Continue. To. Stay. On. The. Front. Page. When. You. Plan. On. Showing. He’s. A. Racist. He. Will. Say. Yeah. So. What. And. Win. The. News. Cycle. When. You. Platform. Racists. You. Normalize. Them.
I. Agree. With. What. You’re. Saying. But. Your. Punctuation. Is. Giving. Me. An. Aneurism.

Trump won over a sizeable amount of black voters (or arguably Biden lost a historical amount; likely both) as well as Hispanic voters. Racists are not likely to change their vote from Trump. Racialized people who began leaning towards Trump might if his racism is spotlighted, and that seems to be exactly what’s happening.
Trump is the leading candidate for president of the United States. He already has a platform and is going to make the front page. Stop being obtuse.

Huh. “Audio issues” must mean " I said things and they didn’t instantly accept them as facts".
What a way that live.
