Celebrities are calling out CNN debate moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, saying that they didn’t actually do their job as moderators.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden faced off in the presidential debate on Thursday night (June 27) and people are frustrated with how it went.
Celebs including Barbra Streisand and Sophia Bush believe that the moderators should have been fact checking the responses from the candidates, specifically some of the lies that were told.
“What is wrong with these two moderators who let Trump change the subject? They ask him a question, but then let him go on a rampage about something else. Not fair!” Barbra tweeted.

None of us can believe the shit coming out of Trump’s mouth. And I’d wager none of us can fathom why none of the moderators are fact checking Trump’s stream of lies? https://t.co/C3AkUH5euk

Trump won’t actually answer ANY question! And no pushback AT ALL from the moderators…???

You can’t moderate a debate if you are unable to at least pushback on outrageous lies.

A debate with no moderators.

This debate is absolutely, utterly pointless. #Trump has the advantage because he’s not tethered to facts, the truth or reality, and the moderators are doing nothing to fact check him.
