Kelly Because when we ░░░░░░░░ to leading up to ░░░░░░░░ debate which you anchored ░░░░░░░░ June 27th debate 2024 ░░░░░░░░ was a ton of ░░░░░░░░ leading into that debate ░░░░░░░░ that month And TAPPER ░░░░░░░░ hmm Kelly we looked ░░░░░░░░ at your coverage and ░░░░░░░░ that you ignored it ░░░░░░░░ only did you ignore ░░░░░░░░ Jackie Walorski moment when ░░░░░░░░ had him 13 days ░░░░░░░░ but you ignored the ░░░░░░░░ up that he had ░░░░░░░░ the Juneteenth celebration You ░░░░░░░░ what happened to the ░░░░░░░░ 7 when he wandered ░░░░░░░░ and Giorgia Meloni Prime ░░░░░░░░ of Italy had to ░░░░░░░░ find him You ignored ░░░░░░░░ freeze up TAPPER Megyn ░░░░░░░░ at the George Clooney ░░░░░░░░ A fundraiser You didn ░░░░░░░░ cover it You only ░░░░░░░░ it after the debate ░░░░░░░░ George Clooney wrote his ░░░░░░░░ ed Jake nobody made ░░░░░░░░ do that There was ░░░░░░░░ network at every turn ░░░░░░░░ telling us those were ░░░░░░░░ cheap fakes And you ░░░░░░░░ not combating that narrative ░░░░░░░░ were CNN was actively ░░░░░░░░ us on what our ░░░░░░░░ eyes were showing us ░░░░░░░░ s the truth That ░░░░░░░░ the record TAPPER I ░░░░░░░░ acknowledge that after I ░░░░░░░░ named moderator co moderator ░░░░░░░░ the debate I tried ░░░░░░░░ make sure that my ░░░░░░░░ was fairly vanilla both ░░░░░░░░ Trump and about Biden ░░░░░░░░ I just wanted to ░░░░░░░░ to the debate And ░░░░░░░░ know the Biden people ░░░░░░░░ the Trump people I ░░░░░░░░ kind of frankly surprised ░░░░░░░░ either one of them ░░░░░░░░ to have me as ░░░░░░░░ moderator because both sides ░░░░░░░░ me so much But ░░░░░░░░ I remember that moment ░░░░░░░░ I remember that moment ░░░░░░░░ glitch at the immigration ░░░░░░░░ and not getting much ░░░░░░░░ outside of conservative media ░░░░░░░░ all And Alex and ░░░░░░░░ are here to say ░░░░░░░░ conservative media was right ░░░░░░░░ conservative media was correct ░░░░░░░░ that there should be ░░░░░░░░ lot of soul searching ░░░░░░░░ just among me but ░░░░░░░░ the legacy media to ░░░░░░░░ with all of us ░░░░░░░░ how this was covered ░░░░░░░░ not covered sufficiently 100 ░░░░░░░░ So I mean I ░░░░░░░░ not here to defend ░░░░░░░░ that I ve already ░░░░░░░░ I wish I could ░░░░░░░░ differently.”
