'What do you make of that?' Trump spokesperson cornered with brutal debate poll numbers

During an appearance on CNN on Wednesday morning, Donald Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt was put on the spot by host John Berman with a debate poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris was the overwhelming winner of Tuesday's debate and then saw her complaints about fact-checking by the moderators swatted away.

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Leavitt maintained to the CNN host that her boss was the big winner in his first debate with Harris which led Berman to mention the CNN poll taken right after the 90-minute skirmish.

"After Leavitt insisted, "The American people still have a lot of unanswered questions about her [Harris'] record and where she stands on the issues," Berman countered, "In the CNN snap poll after the debate, a large majority said that they believe that Kamala Harris turned in the better performance. You called it a success for Donald Trump. 63 percent said she had the better performance. 37 percent say Donald Trump. This is actually a Republican audience here, four points more Republican than actually registered voters so what you make of that?"

"The audience also said that they trust president Trump more to handle the economy than they do Kamala Harris," she countered. "And his support on the issue of the economy actually increased after last night's debate because he outlined the problems people are experiencing at home, the 50 percent increase in mortgage rates and 50 percent increase in gas prices since Harris has been vice president and how those were not an issue in American lives under his leadership. Voters trust president Trump on the issues that matter to them. That was proven in the CNN poll."

After she added, "I think president Trump was defending himself from attacks and lies from Kamala Harris that unfortunately were not fact checked by the moderators in the debate: they fact checked president Trump five times," Berman shot back, "I will say one thing. Tim Alberta writes for the Atlantic, used to write the conservative National review, he said 'One way to look at it: ABC moderators fact-checked Trump 2-3 times and Harris zero times. Another way to look at it: ABC moderators fact-checked Trump 2-3 times instead of 500 times.'"
