For a moment, fans of “Fox & Friends” may have thought they were watching CNN’s debate recap.
After criticizing Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s conduct during the first presidential debate, Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade bashed one of President Trump’s responses.
Kilmeade’s beef arose from Trump’s response to moderator Chris Wallace’s demand the commander-in-chief denounce white supremacy despite his record on desperately-needed criminal justice reform and a pre-lockdown record low black unemployment rate.
In response, Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” before directing his ire at Antifa and the violence the far-left has instigated in places like Portland.
Per Mediaite:
As Kilmeade ripped Joe Biden for his conduct at the debate on Wednesday, he eventually said “Donald Trump ruined the biggest layup in the history of debates by not condemning white supremacists.”
“I don’t know if he didn’t hear it, but he’s gotta clarify that right away,” Kilmeade continued. “Why the president didn’t just knock it out of the park, I’m not sure.”
The FBI previously evaluated the threat level posed by individual members of the Proud Boys. It has never condemned the entire organization.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
The debate was too often chaotic with the candidates trying to outshout each other. There should be a mechanical means for the moderator to shut either of them up if they won’t listen to the other.
Biden’s calling Trump names irritated me a lot. After all, Trump is our president and the most powerful man in the world. He or the office deserves respect.
Our interest in these guys is what they’ll do for the country and us. I want a description of how they would execute the laws presented them by Congress and the courts.
Socialism has never worked anywhere. It dries up the motivation of people to do their best to acquire a safe place for themselves and those they care for. How can avoiding socialism be worked in as a major goal of the next President?
Robert. You are seriously confused! If you love the “freedoms and the health care” of the other countries, why don’t you go there to live and leave us to our foibles?!
I agree I was thinking that same thing. Like they need to be in a booth where they can hear but not interrupt. It’s God awful rude and irritating I know that’s how people are these days but it made Trump seem insecure. And biden is not a worthy opponent to be that way. We need that cocky self assured newcomer that went up against hillary. Just give me facts and wait your turn.
Chris Wallace also should have intervened when Biden repeating all those unfounded smears left uses. Respect is something socialists avoid like the plague, that and truth and facts.
I don’t vote for people that think it’s ok to kill babies
Neither do I, not now not EVER!!!
Unfortunately your vote will not mean much after the fraudulent votes are counted.
Yea, it’s what I’m afraid of too.Not to worry though left isn’t smart enough to just take a win the radical will start a civil war irregardless and that’s when the SHTF and the sane people correct the mistake.
I don’t vote for baby killers either it’s like I vote for freedom instead of communists. Give me a break, does any free American want the government to tell them what to do how to comb their hair ETC. ???
With all the abortions that are being committed on a daily basis, many of whom are POC’s, only God knows how many great music composers, great doctors, great scientists, and great Americans could have combined their efforts. We are further away from cures from how many diseases? What diseases diseases could have been cured by now; Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes? We will never enjoy how many symphonies? The tragedy of it all. The inhumanity of it all. NEVER vote for baby murderers. I am for the littlest, defenseless guy.
President Trump debated both of them! Even though it was rigged for that stupid puppet, President Trump still managed to nail Biden with facts and we all seen him lie about it! Trump brought out his involvement with being apart of the logan act against Flynn, and his loser son! Biden didn’t know how to answer and he couldn’t answer when Trump asked him how many police groups endorsed him! Biden did nothing but spit out lies we all know wasn’t true. I shutter to think of this poor fool ever becoming our president! If disaster ever hit us, this fool would be hiding in the basenent or behind his wifes skirt! And Wallace acted like Bidens babysitter and made a complete bias fool out of himself! Can those democrats ever do anything that isn’t a rigged job?!
Did you notice Biden reaching into his coat ‘pretending’ to adjust something or scratch his chest? This is where ‘one’ of his prompting microphones was located – you could also tell by his facial expression he was getting cued. Anyone notice this?
No, sad ,but I missed it! I was laughing too hard! Great comedy night show! Loved Pres.Trump’s sticking up for himself!
actually –he turned away from the camera a number of times to hit at an area just behind his right ear-and the look in his eyes–you could tell he was being briefed-
I did notice that. Biden also spent time with downcast eyes, indicating he was listening to some one in his ear.
Chris gave him the answers via his aide. Looking down, HE was READING THE ANSWERS! Chris Wallace is the White version of Black DONNA BRAZILE!
Yup but so what ? Trump was debating the Left , Whether the lie came from the puppet or the puppet master , He should have waited till his 2 minutes and then really spanked butt , as it was many people that think he is a bully still think so That said I think 2020 should be all Red
Agree but it was a street fighter against leftist stooge.
And they showed him out campaigning yesterday and he was back to his babbling definitely had some kind of help in the debate.
YES AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH AT THE VIDEO OF IT YOU CAN SEE A WIRE…SERIOUSLY……… THERE IS O WAY HE IS COHERENT ENOUGH TO SPEAK A SENTENCE WITH MORE THAN 6 WORDSS…….. THIS WAS ALL SET UP….AND QUITE HONESTLY IF WERE TRUMP….UNLESS THEY BOTH AGREE ON THE MEDIATOR…. AND IT IS FAIR AND RESPECTFUL……I WOULD NOT DEBATE BIDEN AGAIN……… THEY HAVE THIS SCRIPTED ON THE SUBJECTS AND AND THE TIME LIMIT…….NOT ONE QUESTION WALLACE ASKED COULD BE ANSWERED IN TWO MNUTES……. AND HE CUT TRUMP OFF TIIME AND AGAIN…WHILE LETTING BIDEN GO ON FOR OVER 5 MINUTES ON TWO OCCASIONS…..THEY WILL SET UP THE PRESIDENT ON THE NEXT GO ROUND…TO MAKE HIM REACT….. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HE HAD TO DO …. TRUMP WAS REACTING TO THE HALF TRUTHS AND THE FAKE NEWS HEADLINES AND THE LEFT’S LIES………… HE WAS FIGHTING WTH WALLACE, BIDEN, PELOSI, SCHUMER, AND THE MEDIA……..AND TO SHOW THE DISRESPECT TO ANYONE…MUCH LESS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WITH “OH SHUT UP MAN” “YOU ARE SUCH A CLOWN”………….. WORRIES ME IF HE TALKS THAT WAY TO HEADS OF STATE……. HE COULD START A WAR…..
Trump needs to have signal jammer in his back pocket and make Joe Biden’s ears melt from the loud screech
President Trump missed a huge opportunity. Biden was lying and would have painted himself into a corner, he just needed time to let his confusion and bumbling to get him there. Next time let him try and tell anyone that his son is honorable, didn’t the government itself already say he wasn’t? Everyone knows about his dealings with Burisma and the $3 mil from Russia. Let him say it isn’t so, even dumb libs know this happened. When he talks about honor bring up his years of cheating on his wife with Jill and her cheating on her husband, this says all you need to know about both of them-They are not nor ever were honorable. Let him talk abut his 180 yrs. in the Senate, the 200 million Americans that died from Covid, let everyone hear from his own mouth just how mentally challenged he is and put him in the Home, not the White House.
Wallace’s sole job was to protect Biden, secondary to attacking Trump. Biden wouldn’t have gotten to his bumbling self. Every time he started going off course Wallace jumped in with a distraction
Well you noticed that too. Wallace has always disliked Trump but tries not to make it to obvious, failed last night.
Chris Wallace is one of the WORST moderators ever!! Apart from the fact he didn’t have control, he should have at least intervened and STOPPED the childish name calling and insults thrown out by Biden. Telling the POTUS to “shut up” and calling him a “clown”, etc. should have been called out and stopped by Wallace!!!!! He said nothing! The lack of respect shouldn’t have been tolerated, no mater who is in office.
biden/his party are sooooo EMPTY they got NOTHING else to throw at the President but “name-calling”…..!!!!!!!
Hypocrite of the FOX Wallace, this guy ( it is not a first time that he trashes President) is just mined blowing. President had to fight with 2 evil on the national stage Biden lair that smock was coming form his a** and Weasel Wallace. First what is a white supremacy, people with white skin color? Who? I do not see “white
supremacy” on street of NY, Portland, Minniapoliss Kanosha, and other. What I see is a white punks Sanders supports demolishing cities. Is this your white supremacy Brian and Wallace????? If it is you are supporters of the domestic terrorists.
Why Wallace did not ask question to Biden about is? He did not send it to him before?
This was the worst debate I have seen in decades. Wallace lost control and Biden had an instrument in his ear to help him answer questions. On the other side while Trump had a narrow win, he needs to keep his cool when confronted with blatant lies, shut up, and then give an intelligent response.
There hasn’t been a real threat in this country from white supremacists for a long time! I wish people would get off the idea of thinking that we have systemic racism, we don’t! We have a greater threat now of black Supremacy because of BLM! Racism really isn’t the problem, it’s all the hatred that these anti American groups that Soros funds, that’s the problem!
I haven’t seen any white supremacy in this country in a while. Only problem has been dems and fake news trying to start race wars from north to south an east to west. If I’m seeing the video and pictures it equals numbers of all nationalities involved in the radical left anarchism groups BLM Antifa liberals and one world order elitist attacking, burning bullying looting, stealing and yes killing all businesses; homes, people of all races, age and religious beliefs, and economic positions or education level in. And last but not least they are also going after all the people in this country that has protected us rescued us healed us and up held our laws of the land no matter what their race. And denounced any person in government that disagrees with their actions no matter what race they may be!!! Really time to worry about Americans that love this country no matter their race being assaulted by the anarchistic communist liberal one world elite that hates this country and anyone that loves this country no matter their race!! We Americans lives are based on love, pride, caring, respect for neighbors laws, religious beliefs and family! The blm,Antifa,anarchistic,communists,one world order elite is based on hate and belief in nothing but his or her wants, and evil!!!
There has been no respect for the pres from the beginning of his presidency. He was rightfully extremely frustrated. The dems will never get over losing. Biden looked like the Joker on crack. He laughed and smirked all throughout. Nothing he said made any sense. All he does is lie. Saying the pres is a bully is like saying let the devil do what ever he wants. The pres has proven himself 100% worthy of being a strong leader!!!
hard to believe that trump missed the perfect chance to shut the democrats off
and cut them off at the knees–
ONLY HAD TO SAY–I DO NOT CONDONE THE THOUGHT OF WHITE SUPREMACY–NOR DO I ADVOCATE FOR IT-
JUST THAT AND NOTHING ELSE-short and sweet-don’t name groups
He’s said that many times I wanted to here Biden denounce Blm and Antifa but he thinks Antifa is a myth.
HOW MANY TIMES DOES HE HAVE TO SAY IT??????? LOOK BACK AT THE 2016 TAPES…HE SAID IT THEN…… AT SEVERAL PRESS CONFERENCES HE HAS SIAD IT…….. THEY CONSTANTLY AS HIM…..AND EVEN BADGER THE PRESS SECRETARIES ABOUT IT…….THE REASON BIDEN AND WALLACE WERE HECKLING WAS THEY HAVE NOTHNG F SUBSTANCE TO TALK ABOUT….THEY HAVE NO REAL PLANS……. THEIR ONLY PLAN IS TO BEAT TRUMP AND THEN THEY WILL MAKE THE REST UP AS THEY GO ALONG……..
Wallace was pathetic as the moderator. His left-leaning views came through loud and clear.
Trump missed his best call when Biden said “We must work together”. Trump should have answered “Why haven’t you worked with me for 43 years”
I didn’t watch the debate because I already knew how it would be handled.
I doubt I’ll watch any news today because it will be the same lies from all of them. It will be “Orange Man BAD! Senile Man Good!” coming from all of those Useful Idiots.
The problem that I noticed was this, Chris Wallace was not moderator, he gave too many times for Biden to finish his answers or statements.
However, he stopped President Trump anytime he answered a question. It was so frustrating to see that Wallace just gave Biden all the time he needed to babble!
You could clearly see that Wallace was there to help Biden, he is a democrat! Anyway, we Republicans are behind our president!
You are assuming they are ‘White Supremacists’. They are proud of being white. Why are blacks not ‘Black Supremacists’ for being proud of being black? This two sets of rules is un American.
BECAUSE MOST BLACK DENOUNCE THE BLM AS ANARCHIST…….. THEY DO NOT ASSIMILATE WITH THEM…….. SO MANY HAVE WORKED VERY HARD FOR WHERE THEY ARE IN LIFE…… THROUGH ALL KINDS OF ODDS…….. ONE GROUP WAS ASKED TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE ACTIVIST BLACK COMMUNITIES NEED TO DO TO BETTER THING FOR THE BLACK LIVES………. AND DO IT WITH ONE WORD…..ONE WORD…………. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS “OWNERSHIP”………… OWN YOUR ACTIONS……OWN YOUR HATE………OWN YOUR CRIMINALITY……..OWN YOUR LIFE….
BLM COULD NEVER DO THAT……. THEY ARE SO FULL OF HATE AND RAGE……THEY HAVE NO GREY MATTER WORKING PAST THAT……
They bang on about Trump not denouncing white supremacists, but do THEY denounce Islamic supremacists and black supremacists? (commonly known as BLM!). People who denounce the fact that white lives matter as well! People who really have caused great damage to the US in the form of looting, rioting & mass murder of Americans!!
What damage to America have so called ‘white supremacists’ done? Zilch! They are simply people who want to hold onto their country, and stop the third world barbarians and savages from taking over,,,,which is slowly happening if the last few months is anything to go by!!
President Trump missed a number of easy layups when he didn’t respond clearly several times to good openings. He’s not a talker, not a debater. He’s a doer. Voters are missing the whole point if they don’t focus on what he has done and is doing, and not on his mannerisms or how he says things.
Excellent comment!! The real truth lies in a person’s actions; not their words; especially in a artificial setting like a debate!
LOVED THIS COMMENT…. STRAIGHT FACTUAL TRUTH
I watched the debate in its entirety. I took away several observations. First, Chris Wallace is incompetent. Second, Chris Wallace interceded on Biden’s behalf several times. Third, Joe Biden is a crude, ignorant, and uneducated man. Fourth, Trump did not perform well.
All in all, this debate was a sad excuse for a political event. It was depressing.
I AGREE WITH ALL BUT THE FACT TRUMP DID NOT PERFORM WELL……… HE WAS NOT PERFORMING…. HE WAS THERE TO DEBATE FACT AND POLICIES…… WHAT HE DOES BEST…..BUT HE BECAUSE OF THE LEFT AND THEIR CHEATING AND SUPPLYING BIDEN WITH THE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME AND PUTTING A WIRE ON HIM…. ACTUAL FOOTAGE…….SPENT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME DEFENDING THE LIES THROWN OUT ABOUT HIM…… HE TRIED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND WAS SHUT DOWN BY EITHER WALLACE OR BIDEN…BECAUSE THEY HAD NO SUBSTANCE ADN ANSWERS…….. IT WAS A FARCE AND OUR PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THIS ACTION……….NOTHING OF MUCH VALUE WAS ALLOWED TO BE ANSWERED……..WALLACE SHUT IT DOWN…..
first off all I am behind Trump 100 % But that said , I think he should learn to Let Biden have his say . Then in his 2 minutes make his points calmly . A lot of people think he is a bully and are turned off by it . I realize he was having a battle of wits with an unarmed person , whether Joe had an ear piece or not , who cares ? He needs to wait till his turn Then answer the puppet or the puppet master which ever Told the lie , I did love the crickets when he asked Joe which police orginization had Backed him LOL
The debate certainly will not change the ballot stuffing and the cemetery vote the DNC and its allies have planned.
Trump should have asked Biden to denounce Black Supremacists Groups, they have names like BLM and Antifa.
That’s a question Chris Wallace should have asked.
I believe Trump should have started with “Mr Vice President, I acknowledge that you were MY Vice President just 4 years ago. Will you now acknowledge that I am your President?” If Biden did not answer in the affirmative, Trump should have walked off the stage.
I don’t see the other side condemning The Communist BLM, that is a terrorist org. They really don’t give a flip about Black Lives, or any lives except their agenda, to Destroy America! There hasn’t been the violence and lawlessness on the Right Side. We who are awake can see the goal of the Left, The New world Order, with Soros as King!
This was not a debate. It was a fiasco. Did anyone else hear the President say that he did not know who the proud boys are? .Heck, to be frank, I didn’t either nor did a number of both Republican and democrat folks with whom this mess was discussed. All kinds of groups have materialized these past four years. This actually was a Q&A not a real debate. But, if a winner has to be chosen, it would be President Trump, as he actually answered questions. All incubus Biden did was twist and twitch as he read monitors and listened to ear bud guidance. Chris should be fired!
The Proud Boys are declared a hate group by the SPLC. What a joke! The SPLC is, by definition, a hate group. They are anti christian, anti-white, anti-semitic, with direct ties to Muslim terrorist groups. Who in the hell gives a shit what they think?!! Certainly no one with any kind of logic and rational thought. On top of that, the disgraceful Chris Wallace, refused to even ask Biden to denounce Antifa, which everyone knows is an actual hate group.
The only thing I see with the proud boys is they are carrying American flags and chanting USA. And by the way they’re not all white.
That was not a layup it was a trap. Trump did not kiss Chris Matthews ring.
Trump did nothing to win undecided people’s votes. I could barely hear what Trump was constantly interrupting about anyways as he talked over the other two. Biden is already an embarrassment, Trump just stooped to the Biden level in the “debate.” Biden usually embarrasses himself if he is left to talk on this own. Trump LET the democrats control the lie they said about Charlottesville, and just about everything else they said about him. That was a low point for him. He didn’t let America know how nasty the democrats are. Did he hear Biden call him a liar, clown, and racist? I did. He projected onto Trump Everything HE is, and Trump was too busy talking to hear these insults against himself, and really, the people that voted for him. Biden could have been KO’d by Trump, but Trump Failed miserably against such a weakling. I could have done a better job against the incompetent Biden!
Biden starting interrupting first.
I remember debates when one person answered a question, than the other and then the first person got to respond about what the second person had said about them. This debate was not run right by Wallace.
#WALLACENEEDSTOGO
never trusted that guy as a D hes aligned with the rest of the media. I believe that Wallace gave the D the format of questions to work on just like Brazil ratted out Hillary getting the questions in advance, months too late obviously to argue. Bigger problem, something was going on with Biden , answered or didnt answer some of Trumps quests like he was waiting for the answer from someone. MARK my words Biden was wired, he was just a little too quick on the draw most of the time but faltered with out saying anything. I firmly believe Biden had a wire and perhaps a micro receiver in his pocket hankie.to an implant in his ear…thats why all the down time before the debate when Biden didnt show up anywhere. Plus they backed out of having inspections for mics etc just before the debate so there was not time to dispute or locate the ear piece….Mark My Words.and Wallace was in on it.
Especially asking the question to Trump from a negative starting point every time and finally asked a challenging question to Biden and you heard him say he wasnt going to answer that question but Wallsce pushed back and did ask bit soffened it Trump jhas to keep his cool a little more and should have said to Wallace if you continue to offer unbalance or more aggresive questions to him he would not answer it and ask for it to be rephrased or not answer. Just like negotiating some time you just have to walk away or stand by and wait. COOL heads….needs a little more of a rehearsal based on that performance, RE DIRECT, deflect, un answer…..he has really never mastered that, vital
John you are absolutely right. This was the biggest hit job and Fox News was in on it just like Wallace. Need to watch NewsMax from now on.
Yea well I agree Trump should have said all terrorism is wrong but so far it has only been BLM/Antifa doing all the BS. Where is Biden seeing White supremacists, only in his imagination?
Come in legally pay taxes but now just a hand out. Nothing is free you have to earn it just like all hard working middle class Americans/Citizens
Anyone that votes for Biden is a moron!
President Trump needs to station Federal agents in every polling place in the US to watch for Democrat cheating!
I don’t know why no one is upset about the wire that Biden wore. James Woods put the video up. Biden reaches under his jacket lapel. A wire is clearly seen when he removes his hand. Also, a black object is seen attached to his wrist. The sad thing is, Biden and Hillary and the rest of the demented Dems don’t show any shame at the lowly tricks they use. We are the ones who are crazy!
IT WAS ON THE INTERNET….LOOK IT UP PEOPLE….JAMES WOODS AND THE WIRE ON BIDEN…………. HE WAS WIRED…AND HAD A SMALL MINI EARPIECE….WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WERE AGAINST ANY SEARCH BEFORE HAND………AND ONE OTHER THING….I WOULD NOT PUT PAST THE LEFT……… HOW IRONIC TRUMP HAS DONE SO MANY RALLIES…AND SPEECHES….AND TRAVELED HERE AND THERE AND A FEW NIGHTS AFTER A ORCHESTRATED DEBATE BY THE LEFT …..HE COMES DOWN WITH COVID……..SERIOUSLY…….. IT IS NOT BEYOND THEM TO HAVE INFECTED THE PODIUM…… MY FIRST THOUGHT…….. THEY ARE SICK ENOUGH TO DO JUST THAT……….
Hey Brian Kilmeade,
Why did Chris Wallace, equally forcefully, ask Biden to denounce ANTIFA and BLM?
Dare you to have Biden and Harris on Fox & Friends and have them denounce these two racist and anarchist organizations that have been fomenting rioting, vandalism and chaos throughout the NATION.
Have Biden and Harris condemn and denounce the inaction on part of the Mayors and Governors of the Cities and States where mayhem has taken place?
Dare you to have Kamala Harris explain why she contributed to MMF knowing fully well that it will put criminals back on the streets without facing any consequences?
My first thoughts were the President was a bit too aggressive but I remembered all of the Russian documentation is just now being unredacted. Now the President knows for sure who did what and this is the first time he has been face to face with anyone responsible. He did mention what Biden did to General Flynn. We all know how protective of his people the President is and think back at how many really good people were slimed by the Dems when Trump was trying to fill his cabinet. I think he was angrier over that than all the misery they’ve put him through. I can certainly forgive a little excess anger after what Biden, Obama, Hillary and the Democrats have done.
AND FROM A MAN THAT IS NOT TAKING A SALARY FOR ALL THE HELL HE HAS ENDURED THIS PAST 4 YEARS (EXCEPT $1 AS REQUIRED)……… GIVING BACK TO MILITARY AND SUCH…………. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT JUST DON’T REALIZE HE DOES THAT….BECAUSE HE DOESN’T SHARE IT OFTEN….HE CAN INTERRUPT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS THEY HAVE GIVEN HIM HELL FOR 4 YEARS……HE IS OWED THIS MUCH….
So is this ‘Monday morning quarterback’ or the usual fake news? Parrots are taught to repeat lines, often & repetitively, and, ya think they actually talk?
