Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi blasted plans to conduct the second U.S. presidential debate virtually, saying Democrat Joe Biden could be unfairly advantaged.
Bondi said on “Fox and Friends” Thursday that Biden could cheat during what was tentatively planned to be a virtual debate with President Donald Trump next week — plans that are in doubt after the President said Thursday morning that a virtual debate is a ‘waste of my time.’
The debate would have been live, but the President contracted COVID-19 last week, throwing preparations for the Miami event into chaos. But for Bondi, virus concerns are simply a front to leverage the setup for the Democratic nominee.
“By that time, the President will test negative. They should have the debate in person. I think the President wants it in person,” Bondi said, minutes before Trump himself balked in a separate interview on Fox Business at the virtual plan promulgated by the Commission on Presidential Debates
“I think the problem with that [virtual plan] is they could cheat in the debate. We know that,” Bondi said. “We have to have someone there to verify that Joe Biden doesn’t have something in his ear, feeding him answers, or have someone standing in front of the camera handing him answers.”
“We know this from town halls he has done,” Bondi said, in which purported “undecided voters” were in fact not.
“We know that the questions from the media he has taken in the past have been set up questions that he already knew the answers to because they were up on a teleprompter,” Bondi said. “There’s gotta be a safeguard in there to make sure they aren’t feeding him answers into his ear.”
Bondi, who served on the President’s legal team during his impeachment trial, has been an active surrogate for Trump.
She offered an uncompromising speech at the Republican National Convention this summer and is also part of the rotation of high-profile surrogates traveling and rallying support for the President.

The party of conspiracy theorists is living up to its reputation! They have their excuse ready for losing the election(widespread voter fraud) & now they have one for losing the debates—not that those really matter. If Trump didn’t want to do a virtual debate maybe he should have worn a mask so he didn’t catch the rona??

The comments attacking former Attorney General Pam Bondi demonstrate when liberals have no answers for facts they resort to petty behavior, name calling and personal attacks like children. The fact of the mater is Biden can’t string three sentences together without it being written down in front of him. He has the onset of dementia which is clear. There is no way Biden won’t violate debate rules if the debate was virtual.
If Biden has a backbone and wants to be the leader of the free world he needs to man up and do the debate in person.

You attacked “liberals” for name calling then you attacked Senator Biden with your name-calling. Trump is not a man of honor but a serial killer. How many of the 200,000 plus USA citizens that died from COVID_19 are dead because of Trump’s pathic and ineffective actions? Also, our current president has made the USA the laughing stock of the free world.
