"...Wallace also rewrote history, saying both that Biden did answer the question about court-packing (he did not) and that it was Trump who started interrupting (he did not).
Another shameful moment on Wallace's part was his asking Trump to disavow any support for white supremacists. In fact, Trump has repeatedly done so, including in an interview with Wallace four years ago:
Trump immediately answered "sure" to the question about disavowing white supremacy, but he also pointed out that Biden ought to be asked to disavow Antifa. Wallace refused to ask Biden that question, relieving Biden of the burden of offending his hard-left base. Fox News's John Roberts apparently didn't watch the debate, or didn't understand it, or hasn't paid attention to the last few years of Trump's repeated statements disavowing white supremacy. That's why, during Wednesday's press conference with Kayleigh McEnany, Roberts stupidly asked her whether Trump condemns white supremacy:
Kayleigh, if I could start off, I'd like to ask you for a definitive and declarative statement, without ambiguity or deflection. As the person who speaks for the president, does the president denounce white supremacism, and groups that espouse it in all their forms?
McEnany graciously gave him a straight answer:
This has been answered yesterday by the president himself. The day before by the president himself on the debate stage. The president was asked this, he said "sure" three times. Yesterday, he was point-blank asked, "Do you denounce white supremacy?" and he said, "I've always denounced any form of that."
McEnany then offered other examples of Trump explicitly denouncing white supremacy, only to have Roberts repeat the question as if Trump had never disavowed the ideology. Irked, McEnany saved her real riposte against Roberts for after the debate, when she put out a tweet:
