Another Kamala lie from the debate that went unchecked


Sep 18, 2024, 12:51 PM

Harris, "There is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.”

Truth: There are currently 900 U.S. military personnel in Syria, 2,500 U.S. troops in Iraq. All have been under regular threat from drones and missiles for months. We also have action in the Red Sea. Also, every single day, the Navy SEALs, Delta Forces special operators can be part of any sort of deadly raid.

Wonder why the moderators didn’t question her on that lie?

Moderators were too busy calling Trump a liar for daring to refute govt approved lies.

Her answer had a lot of qualifiers in it.

“Active duty.” “Combat zone. “War zone.”

I was suspicious of it when she said it, but thought, huh maybe that’s true, maybe the areas I’m thinking of aren’t technically defined as combat zones. Moderators could have thought the same, if they aren’t 100% positive she is wrong then they can’t fact check in the moment.

It’s not their job to fact check. That’s what has people are upset about. The fact check job in a debate is the responsibility of the opponent. Otherwise, a candidate ends up debating the opponent and moderators. Now if the moderator wants to say “your opponent just said blah blah blah how do you respond?”then fair enough.

Yeah Trump missed lots of layups in that one. He missed opportunities he normally doesn’t miss like that.

She was either ignorant or misleading. We have active duty personnel serving in areas that by presidential executive order are labeled as combat zones, with the the IRS excluding these personnel from paying income tax.

We haven't had a declared war since WWII.We are not in a war, but we have thousands of military personnel that are in designated combat zones and have had personnel killed and wounded.

I think she was implying that we have no troops in harms way which is not true and she is absolutely incorrect that we have no personnel in areas our government have labeled as combat zones.

Maybe she has a short memory issue like Biden who claimed he was the only President in this decade who did not lose any troops under his watch. Tell that to the 13 in Afghanistan and 3 in Jordan that were killed.

But otherwise, her statement is totally misleading. Politicians picking pieces of the full story for their benefit. The orange guy was too slow and unable to think on his feet enough to challenge it.
