I'd rather there not be a fact checker. They would talk most of the time and take away from biden

We've never has a "fact checker" in the history of American debates.

Its a retarded concept the moderator asks questions and its up to the American people to decide on whether or not the answer was adequate.

If the moderator starts challenging the answer ("fact checking") then they are participating in the debate themselves.

At most a moderator can ask for a follow-up or clarification but never challenge the answer.

Your debate opponent is supposed to fact check you.

It's like they're gas-lighting the entirety of debate history, going back to the Greeks.

I know what this is, they're trying to get the 'Trump is a liar" implanted in everyone's minds - say it enough times, it becomes 'truth".

It just says to me, they're so bankrupt of ideas and passion, they're just playing schoolyard games. "Liar liar, pants on fire" is a not a political plank adults would use.

Don’t attribute to incompetence that which is obviously malice.

Especially when you consider most the shit they "fact check" is straight up fake news itself

Republican Senators need to demand 3 debates. RNC and GOP as well. The fact checking should be post debate.

Any statement ever is wrong if you try hard enough (see Snopes, Politifact, etc.). This would absolutely be abused.

Cucks can just watch the debate on MSNBC where Maddow will interrupt every time Biden gets owned.
