By Townhall. For those hoping the moderator at the second presidential debate will be less of a liberal hack than the first, we have some bad news for you. C-SPAN’s Steve Scully has been tapped to moderate the upcoming presidential debate and it’s very clear which candidate Scully wants to win.
Scully is clearly rooting for Joe Biden, a.k.a. his old boss, who Scully once interned for in the U.S. Senate. . .
Scully also retweeted this column by The New York Times’ David Brooks, in which the author argues that Donald Trump is basically the worst person in the entire world and should never be elected president of the United States.

Trump Campaign Calls Out Second Debate Moderator Who Interned for Biden, Worked for Ted Kennedy
By Fox News. resident Trump’s campaign is calling out C-SPAN anchor Steve Scully, who’s moderating the second presidential debate, for his ties to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Steve Scully, who serves as a host for C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” interned for Biden after coming to Washington, D.C. as a student, according to Marie Claire. He later worked as a staff assistant for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., a Democratic icon who was honored at the party’s 2012 convention.
Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller tweeted in response: “Don’t forget to change before the debate, fellas!” . . .
At the beginning of September, Scully did an interview in which he committed to being fair “across the board.” He said his training as a backup moderator in 2016 helped him prepare for his role this election. Scully’s debate will be a townhall format at the Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida.
“The town hall meeting is unique because it’s really more of a facilitator role, but to listen carefully, to follow up, to make sure that the president, that Joe Biden … follow the rules, that they don’t filibuster,” he said. “And my hope really is that we’re going to ask very direct questions, and we’re going to push for very direct answers, and to make sure it’s fair across the board.” (Read more from “Trump Campaign Calls Out Second Debate Moderator Who Interned for Biden, Worked for Ted Kennedy” HERE)
