On one hand, this matches my assumptions based on Kamala Harris’ performance. On the other hand, my skeptical side wonders how ABC News can be so certain this quickly that no one pulled a Donna Brazile on them.
Either way, one could easily predict the opening move of a categorical denial:
“Absolutely not,” an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. “Harris was not given any questions before the debate.”
The network’s debate rules stated that “no topics or questions will be shared in advance with campaigns or candidates.”
The spokesperson also said no aides were in contact with moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis.
Did ABC actually look into this? Or did it just generate a denial? Nothing in the Daily Beast report indicated a serious review, let alone an investigation on the scale Mark Penn advocated. Don’t forget that the Brazile leak didn’t come to light in…
