Linsey Davis, one of the ABC News moderators who relayed questions in Tuesday’s presidential debate, has been revealed to be the sorority sister of Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.

Viewers of the debate noticed Davis’s numerous attempts to “fact-check” Republican candidate Donald Trump, while allowing Harris to easily slide through the debate without any pushback in real time.

Harris joined the sorority during her undergraduate days at Howard university in 1986, graduating with a bachelor of arts (BA).

Davis, on the other hand, joined the sorority as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia, where she graduated in 1999 with a bachelor’s in psychology.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the first African American sorority in the United States, founded in 1908.

“The fact that Kamala Harris and Linsey Davis are members of the same sorority (Alpha Kappa Alpha – Howard and UVA respectively) is relevant with respect to potential bias,” an X (Twitter) user wrote.

In one of the loudest interjections in the debate, Davis attempted to fact-check Trump’s abortion claim live, following Trump referencing former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s 2019 comments about aborting babies after birth.

“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born,” Davis responded to Trump’s comments, prompting conservatives to point out that six states as well as the District of Columbia (DC) do not have any limits in place on the procedure.

“Biased ABC anchor Linsey Davis teams up with Vice President Kamala Harris to attack former President Donald Trump on abortion,” wrote Tom Olohan, a writer for the conservative Media Research Center.

“ABC is making a huge mistake by trying to fact check this live. They’re only proving how biased they are. Harris fabricated an attack on Trump over IVF. ABC sat there and said nothing,” wrote Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary during the Bush administration.

“Linsey Davis completely interjects herself into the debate to help Kamala. "No surprise at all there,” OutKick founder Clay Travis wrote in a post on X.

Harris was not fact-checked when she falsely claimed that Trump was behind the Heritage Project’s “Project 2025,” and she also falsely claimed that Trump wanted to ban IVF treatment, so the former GOP president was forced to fact-check herself in real time during the debate.

Following the debate, the Harris campaign called for a second debate, which Trump responded to by stating that he does not believe there needs to be a second debate, as he won the first. Harris previously disregarded a proposed Fox News debate, which would not have been as unfair and biased in her favor like ABC News’ recent event.

“When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, ‘I want a rematch,’” Trump wrote on Trump social.

Former President Donald Trump honored the 13 service members who died three years ago during the United States’ chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal.

On Monday, Trump joined the families and loved ones of the fallen service members at Arlington National Cemetery.

On August 26th, 2021, 13 U.S. service members were killed along with almost 200 people by ISIS-K suicide bomber Abdul Rahman al-Logari, who detonated an explosive vest at Abbey Gate in Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Even though President Joe Biden shared a brief statement regarding the fallen service members, the White House and his administration do not have any events planned, as Biden is vacationing at his beach house in Delaware.

“These 13 Americans — and the many more that were wounded — were patriots in the highest sense,” Biden said. “Some were born the year the war in Afghanistan started. Some were on their second or third tour. But they all raised their hand to serve a cause greater than themselves — risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, Allies, and Afghan partners. They embodied the very best of who we are as a nation: brave, committed, selfless. And we owe them and their families a sacred debt we will never be able to fully repay, but will never cease working to fulfill.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also shared a statement, but she similarly did not have any events planned in regard to honoring the service members.

“As I have said, President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war,” Harris said Monday. “Over the past three years, our Administration has demonstrated that we can still eliminate terrorists, including the leaders of al-Qaeda [sic] and ISIS, without troops deployed into combat zones." I will never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to counter terrorist threats and protect the American people and the homeland.”

Meanwhile, the Trump team has continued to criticize Biden over how the evacuation was handled. Trump advisers skewered the current president for refraining from honoring service members with an official ceremony.

Trump adviser Brian Hughes told The New York Post in a statement that the anniversary is a reminder of “the failure of Harris and Biden to protect our standing in the world and the cost of that failure. Harris has proudly declared she was the last person in the room when she and Biden directed the botched withdrawal that cost the lives of Americans and our allies.”

Trump has previously had conversations and held events with Gold Star families. At the Republican National Convention (RNC) last month, a number of family members, including Christy Shamblin, took the stage to applaud Trump’s handling of the tragedy.

“While Joe Biden has refused to recognize their sacrifice, Donald Trump spent six hours in Bedminster with us,” Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee said in Milwaukee.

“He allowed us to grieve. "He allowed us to remember our heroes,” she added.
