Moderator interrupts Harris for 10 seconds to tell her she has 15 seconds.

The moderator is bringing up the Rose Garden Massacree, with full orchestration and four-part harmony.

Pence is responding by not addressing it at all.

</div>

All the moderator has to do is report the news, and she’s already making the case against Pence. Like, there’s no way to accurately report the stupidity that was that Rose Garden event that isn’t inherently a thorough takedown of the Trump/Pence stupidity.

Great questions so far. Pence just skipping the one about the administration refusing to follow their own guidelines.

Is there a live-stream of someone factchecking? I thought that NBC said they were doing it on their website, but I dont’ see it.

Oh god this faux outrage at Harris “undermining” confidence by saying we shouldn’t trust Trump’s random quack advice is so pathetic.

Pence already breaking the agreement that was made about how the debate would be conducted.

He’s been rambling for what? 3 minutes now?

Pence isn’t all shouty like the President was but jeez he won’t respect time limits either. Pretty sure this is a main strategy for these jerks. _IF_ there is a 2nd Prez debate this behavior is going to end with the moderator having the ability to mute the mics if needed.

What a weasel… Not even answering the question about Trump’s fitness for office.

I thought the debate commission had a plan to stop the time theft. Pence does it less obnoxiously, but he steals as much time as Trump did.
