During the recent CBS News Vice Presidential Debate, House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the moderators for what he perceived as biased fact-checking against Sen. JD Vance. Johnson accused the moderators of displaying anti-conservative bias openly and expressed his disapproval of their handling of the debate.
Despite CBS's initial announcement that live fact-checking would not be allowed during the debate, moderator Margaret Brennan interjected to correct Vance when he made a statement about illegal immigrants overwhelming resources in Springfield, Ohio. Brennan clarified that Springfield, Ohio actually has a significant number of Haitian migrants with legal status, specifically temporary protected status.
