Trump campaign denies asking debate moderator not to mention COVID-19 deaths

Trump campaign denies asking debate moderator not to mention COVID-19 deaths
By Kaelan Deese - 09/29/20 05:05 PM EDT


The Trump on Tuesday campaign denied that it requested debate moderators not mention the number of U.S. COVID-19 deaths during the first 2020 presidential debate.

The denial comes after the Trump campaign requested that both President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden take a drug test before the debate, followed by the team asking the former vice president to have his ears checked for any earpieces or sound devices.

A staff writer for The Atlantic posted on Twitter that Biden's Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield said the Trump campaign asked a condition for Tuesday's Fox News debate moderator, Chris Wallace, not to mention the over 200,000 American deaths from the coronavirus during the debate.

That has long been his line - he did a great job - gave himself A+ (which is why he didn't sit his SATs).
