Welcome to The Gateway Pundit’s Week-in-Review with Elijah Schaffer, where we cover the top 5 stories of the week in just 10 minutes. This week was full of political drama, from the controversial presidential debate to the rumors of debate rigging. Let’s dive in and see what happened this week.
First on the list, the much anticipated first presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. It was a heated and chaotic event, to say the least. The debate was moderated by Chris Wallace of Fox News, who received a lot of criticism for not being able to control the candidates. Many viewers were left disappointed and frustrated with the lack of proper discourse and respectful behavior from both candidates.
Following the debate, there were rumors circulating that the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) may have rigged the debate in Biden’s favor. These rumors gained traction when the CPD released a statement saying that President Trump’s microphone had technical difficulties, implying that it was intentional. However, ABC denied these claims and stated that the issue was purely technical and did not affect the sound quality.
In response to this, our reporter Elijah Schaffer covered the story and shared his thoughts on the suspicious statement from ABC. In his top 5 video, he highlighted the inconsistencies in the CPD’s statement and questioned their credibility. He also pointed out that this was not the first time the CPD has been accused of trying to sway the debate in the Democrat’s favor. Schaffer concluded that the American people deserve a fair and unbiased debate and we should not let the CPD manipulate the outcome.
Moving on to our next story, we have the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. President Trump officially announced Barrett as his nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This sparked a lot of debate and controversy, with some arguing that the nomination should be delayed until after the election and others applauding the President’s decision.
Barrett, a conservative judge and known for her strong pro-life stance, has been put under intense scrutiny by the left. However, she has also received overwhelming support from the right, with many praising her qualifications and conservative values. As we await her confirmation hearing, it is clear that Barrett’s nomination will be a monumental moment in American history and could potentially shape the Supreme Court for years to come.
In the world of sports, we saw the return of the NFL with the 2020 season kicking off this week. As expected, the season started off with a lot of controversy and tension, particularly regarding players kneeling during the national anthem. Many fans were divided on this issue, with some supporting the players’ right to protest and others expressing disappointment and frustration.
In response to this, retired NFL player and avid Trump supporter, Herschel Walker, shared his thoughts on the matter. He spoke out against the negativity and division in the country, stating that everyone should come together and find a solution instead of creating more problems. Walker’s message of unity and understanding is something we can all take to heart, especially in these divisive times.
Lastly, we have yet another example of the left’s hypocrisy with the news of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s wife, Susan, being harassed by liberal activists in Washington D.C. The group of activists surrounded her car and shouted insults and profanities at her. This type of behavior is unacceptable and only serves to further divide our nation.
In a tweet, Susan Pompeo recounted the ordeal and stated, “What happened to us was very unsettling and should not happen to anyone.” This is a clear example of the double standards and lack of tolerance from the left. While they preach tolerance and acceptance, they fail to practice it themselves. This incident serves as a reminder that we should treat everyone with respect and kindness, regardless of their political beliefs.
That wraps up our top 5 stories of the week. It was a week full of political drama and controversies, but also moments of unity and hope. Let us remember to come together as Americans and strive for a better and more united nation.
