CNN debunks Fox News claim about debate

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro falsely claimed that Donald Trump and Joe Biden would be seated for the upcoming presidential debate, a move she told viewers would mean “there is one less obstacle to worry about for Biden.”

“The whole idea that, you know, they’re out there saying this election is not about age, Joe and the other guy are about the same age, even for the debate is, as Jesse is saying, they’re gonna be seated,” Pirro said on Monday’s The Five show. “We don’t even get to see them walk in. They’ll be seated so that, you know, there is one less obstacle to worry about for Biden.”
