In the most tumultuous presidential debate in recent memory, Trump refused to condemn white supremacists who have supported him, telling one such group known as Proud Boys to "stand back, stand by." There were also heated clashes over the president's handling of the pandemic, the integrity of the election results, deeply personal attacks about Biden's family and how the Supreme Court will shape the future of the nation's health care.
The presidential race has been remarkably stable for weeks, despite the historic crises that have battered the country this year, including a pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 Americans and a reckoning over race and police brutality. With just five weeks until Election Day and voting already underway in some key states, Biden has maintained a lead in national polls and in many battlegrounds.
"What do you want to call them? Give me a name. Give me a name," Trump said, before Biden mentioned the far right, violent group known as the Proud Boys. Trump then pointedly did not condemn the group, instead saying: "Proud Boys, stand back, stand by. But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem. This is a left-wing problem.
The pandemic's effects were in plain sight, with the candidates' lecterns spaced far apart, all the guests in the small crowd tested and the traditional opening handshake scrapped. While neither candidate wore a mask to take the stage, their families did sport face coverings. The scattershot debate bounced from topic to topic, with Trump again refusing to embrace the science of climate change while Biden accused Trump of walking away from the American promise of equity for all and making a race-based appeal.
It was a debate. Trump won Biden old sick should resign
Moderator didn't help. He was making statements then saying this is the question at the end. Just ask and let them go.
Trump is a loud obnoxious clown. This is all his doing.
And Biden walked back on Medicare and support of minorities like a good Oligarch puppy under the slightest pressure. The People Lose
joerogan needs to hd presidential discussions on his podcast!!
“Stand back and stand by” sounds more like “hold my beer”
Civility has long departed our political and social cultures. That said, too much emphasis is placed on personal styles. The question that matters is, which man will pursue better policies?
I’m really tired of the media reporting this like Trump and Biden were equally responsible for that shitshow.
Let’s be clear: this both sides crap you pull destroys democracies. Donald Trump was the issue—anyone with a functioning brain stem could see that.
It was this kind of behaviour that inspired this video by George Carlin George Carlin - Why I Don't Vote
Biden remembered to show up so that’s a plus for him lol!
Oh come on! It was mostly Trump talking over Biden and the moderator said so.
.....and painful to listen too.
Trump vs. Wallace with some old guy on the fringes.
Doesn't matter who wins, America is ef'ed.
The biggest takeaway was that trump is s fucking moron and he is a white nationalist....white nationalist were all over social media having a circle jerk after his disgusting comments.
Did you actually watch the debate Trump was the only chaotic one on the stage .
The Dems are questioning whether to even have a second debate. That tells me they are scared. They hate those pesky facts Trump brings up like Hunter’s Russian payola, and threatening to withhold a billion dollars from the Ukraine unless they stopped investigating Hunter.
Good God. Based on this, I expect your next headline to read 'There were very fine people on both sides!'
The Chaos was created by Trump asking all the questions the MSM won't ask.. Chris Wallace was there to run protection for Joe and interrupted the whole time.
Your headline indicates equal blame, and that was not the case. Trump was the reason the debate was a debacle. You can do better CTV.
JohnTory Mayor of Toronto John Tory pays the ideas to beat you and destroy business
Need separate booths with only one microphone active at a time!
Only chaotic to soy-boy liberals who can't handle watching a man taking charge. They view it as aggressive and distasteful. A career politician would have played nice. Well, the USA didn't vote in a career politician for many of those reasons.
Funny how canadian media ignores the connections b/w proud boys & conservatives erin otoole has a prominent member on his campaign, even celebrating after he won! Canadian mainstream media only cares if it is exposed in America? Weird.
Elect a clown and expect a circus. Circus it was.
Incorrect. Trump did not insult Biden.
STOP. It was not BOTH. Trump was a bully and a liar and actively tried to prevent Biden from speaking. Biden was attempting to speak to Americans about his plans and policies. TrumpChaos
Trump: time in office - done Time destroying America - done Time making Americans look ridiculous - done. Time for his marriage - done Time his family stopped sucking the teats of America - done Time as a free man -done BidenHarris2020 Retweet if you think Trump is an asshole
Come on CTV , be honest, the chaos was ALL created by trump. Joe would not have responded the way he did if he was debating a sane person.
Wow ctv is factual for once
Trump won, Trump will win the election. If not. May God have mercy on America. For someone to say that Antifa is an idea and not a organization. He's out of his damn mind.
Chaotic but I do think Wallace didnt press Biden....allowed him time and again to avoid answering questions.
The debate was a shit show because the President of the United States. Period.
You can’t say Biden talked over Trump lmfao. That didn’t happen
