Debate called off after Scully scandal; biased moderator’s history blaming ‘hackers’ for bad tweets
Media Industry,Elections,2020 Election
C-Span host Steve Scully—a former intern for Democrat Joe Biden— reactivated his Twitter account but turned it private after claiming he was hacked when the account appeared to accidentally tweet a direct message from Scully to Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci is a vocal Biden supporter.
Scully, a Democrat, was widely slammed because the message suggested that he was plotting with Scaramucci to attack President Trump at the now-canceled second presidential debate, which Scully was set to moderate. Many didn’t believe Scully’s claim that his account was hacked because he has a history of using that same excuse whenever he gets criticized for an inappropriate post.
