Trump calls for ABC to be punished for fact-checking his debate lies

On Wednesday morning, following his poor showing in the previous night’s presidential debate, Donald Trump called for ABC’s broadcast license to be rescinded after debate moderators fact-checked some of his numerous lies.

“I think ABC took a big hit last night,” he complained during a call to Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” program. “I mean, to be honest, they’re a news organization. They have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”

Trump also claimed, “It was three-to-one. It was a rigged deal.”
