NEW YORK — C-SPAN suspended its political editor Steve Scully indefinitely Thursday after he admitted to lying about his Twitter feed being hacked when he was confronted about a questionable exchange with former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci.
The news came on the day of what was supposed to be a career highlight for the 30-year C-SPAN veteran. Scully was to moderate the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which was canceled after Trump would not agree to a virtual format because of his COVID-19 diagnosis.

Trump needs to start the Town hall with a comment on this news about Steve Scully. Rip the PHONY and unfair debate commission. He should say he expects a stacked deck against him from NBC after it was revealed the Lester Holt Town Hall with Joe Biden was stacked with Biden Supporters claiming to be undecided.

Scully: “He had been frustrated by Trump's comments and several weeks of criticism on social media and conservative news outlets about his role as moderator,”
Huh. Looks like that criticism was spot on, chum.

Who’d of thunk it...?
Steve Scully lied about the hack...
That’s OK, C-SPAN will sack him and he will just move over to CNN or MSNBC...

This force (money trail) is strong with this one (Steve Scully).
When things don’t make sense, follow the money.

He lied to the FBI. Does this mean he’ll get the same treatment as General Flynn, who didn’t lie to anyone?

The good ole “someone hacked my Twitter account” trick.
Anthony Weiner did it.
The butt ugly Joy Reid (MSNBC) did it.
Every creepy Dem caught with his/her pants down does it.

Good! Now the leftist, biased Debate Commission needs to fire their chair who covered for this lying hack.....
“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.”

And this...
“The nominally Republican Chairman of Presidential Debate Commission, Frank Fahrenkopf, is both a co-founder and current board member of the International Republican Institute (IRI), a top “Color Revolution” propaganda outfit. The IRI was run by Never Trump neoconservative John McCain for decades. It is closely linked to the thoroughly discredited Steele Dossier at the center of the Russia Hoax.”
