C-SPAN said Friday that its political editor Steve Scully, set to moderate the now-scrapped second presidential debate, didn’t initiate a questionable Twitter exchange with Anthony Scaramucci and that Scully’s account apparently was hacked.

Earlier Thursday evening, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he thought Scully was a “never Trumper” who had worked for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at one point. Scully served as an intern for then-Sen. Biden for a month in 1978. […]

“Steve Scully did not originate the tweet and believes his account has been hacked,” C-SPAN said in a statement Friday. “The Commission on Presidential Debates has stated publicly that the tweet was not sent by Scully himself and is investigating with the help of authorities. When additional information is available, we will release it.” …

It’s OK for Democrats to lie to the FBI.

So, now C-Spam is doubling down, with the Debate Commish Chair, to cover for this hack.

Got it.

Right, sure. Scully seems to have a history of having his account "hacked". We already know he's a former Biden intern and should never have been appointed a moderator in the first place. The current debate infrastructure is a disgrace and needs to be scrapped.

And he didn’t post the picture of Biden groping his daughter?

C-SPAN is just making things worse with its lame attempt to cover for someone’s blatant stupidity.

C-SPAN figures Twitter and/or the FBI will lie to cover for them.

So was Scaramuche also hacked?
Because his response seemed to be to an anticipated question.
How would a hacker know to direct the question to that D bag?

If his Twitter account has been hacked 2 other times, then he’s not intelligent enough to moderate a debate because it never occurred to him that as a REPORTER he should take EXTRA PRECAUTIONS to prevent being hacked!

What’s the saying? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us.
