Hi I don’t have a tv but was curious if this was live and on ABC and not just online

[BigEdLB]

Stephanpoopalot was the host?

[CondoleezzaProtege]

Ugh they just made it about Covid and BLM it sounds like

[Brown Deer]

Yes, but I don’t watch TV. Why do you want to know, if you don’t watch TV?

[moehoward]

Yes.

“Questions” were obviously a setup with Stephanpoopalot playing fact checker.

[wiseprince]

Healthcare answer still the weakest. He did those groups that Rand Paul suggested. He should play that up Bigly. I’d suggest he work on that answer but otherwise superb

[Linda Tripp]

I call him George Snuffaluffagus.

Thank you for posting this. Do you or anyone know if the full video of this Town Hall is online anywhere? All I can find are video clips of the event.

Darn, I didn't even know President Trump was doing this Town Hall earlier tonight! Completely missed it. :-(

Doesn’t . Just wants the world to know they don’t own a TV :-)

[dp0622]

That would take about SIX SECONDS to find out online

A total hit job by Steffie. Step on all of us

But I give the president complete credit. Goes right into the enemy den

He is a real man. No doubt.

[Jane Long]

I double checked the transcript to see if POTUS said herd mentality (vs herd immunity, about the virus)....that’s how the transcript has it, as well.

I’d turned it off, midway, as I couldn’t stand listening to any more of Steffy’s cross examininations and outright hostile questioning, of POTUS.

The left, of course, is having a field day with the herd mentality part.

[Jane Long]

Agree. POTUS went into the lion’s den and proved what a snippy twit Steffy still is.

[irishjuggler]

Stefanie kept badgering DJT about the “obvious systemic racism” of blacks being supposedly killed by the police at 3 times the rate of whites or some such. Is everyone so stupid that they don’t understand that not everyone is interacting with the police at the same rates??

[Brown Deer]

Seems like ABC news has only posted excerpts on YouTube. Don’t what they’re hiding.

but did find this low quality stream from a TV screen.

[moehoward]

It’s a complete set up. Questions clearly provided.

I don’t know if Trump doesn’t want to come off too defensive or confrontational, but there’s solid data to dispute this BS ‘fact checking’. At least what I’ve seen so far.

[\/\/ayne]

It all seemed very fake reading the transcript.

[newzjunkey]

Ugh they just made it about Covid and BLM it sounds like

From what I saw. They also touched on healthcare & amnesty.

I'm not going to sugar coat, Trump was NOT well prepared.
