| C-SPAN Suspends Steve Scully Indefinitely After Admitting He Lied About Twitter Hack |
| 2020-10-16 |
| [Breitbart] C-SPAN suspended its political editor Steve Scully indefinitely Thursday after he admitted to lying about his Twitter feed being hacked when he was confronted about a questionable exchange with former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci. The news came on the day of what was supposed to be a career highlight for the 30-year C-SPAN veteran. Scully was to moderate the second debate between President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, which was canceled after Trump would not agree to a virtual format because of his COVID-19 diagnosis. A week ago, after Trump had criticized him as a “never Trumper,” Scully tweeted “@Scaramucci should I respond to Trump.” Scaramucci, a former Trump communications director and now a critic of the president, advised Scully to ignore him. Scully said that when he saw his tweet had created a controversy, “I falsely claimed that my Twitter account had been hacked.” Related: Steve Scully: 2020-10-09 Chris Wallace: A Virtual Forum in Lieu of Debate Is a ‘Perfectly Reasonable Idea' Steve Scully: 2020-10-05 'Hoping President Trump can participate': Biden campaign official says Democratic nominee will be at next debate as scheduled Steve Scully: 2020-10-02 Second Debate Moderator Worked For Biden, Tweeted Resistance Screed Related: Anthony Scaramucci: 2020-09-07 Victor Davis Hanson: Desperately Derailing Donald Anthony Scaramucci: 2020-07-22 Ohio House speaker and four others are arrested in $60M bribery case over a $1billion nuclear plant bailout plan following a nearly two-year money laundering probe by the FBI Anthony Scaramucci: 2018-06-23 CNN staffer who resigned over retracted Russia story named interim head of CBSNews.com |
