Debate expert tells Harris fact-check Trump 'like it's a contact sport' if moderators fail

Raw Story  

Vice President Kamala Harris has to take fact-checking seriously when she goes toe-to-toe with former President Donald Trump on the debate stage Tuesday night. That's according to former acting solicitor general and legal expert Neal Katyal, who talked to MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Monday night. "People know you as a Supreme Court expert, of course, and one of their favorite legal eagles," said Psaki, a former White House press secretary. But the fact is the moderators often let Donald Trump slide by with lie after lie, they don't ask the hard questions.
