Aside from the fireworks inside the debate hall at Sunday’s second presidential debate, one campaign controversy that bubbled up that CBS and NBC refused to acknowledge in their post-debate analysis was a tweet from a Hillary Clinton campaign aide telling Donald Trump to “go bleep [himself]” regarding his treatment of the Khan family.
Clinton campaign foreign policy aide Jesse Lehrich dropped a tweet during the debate on his personal account stating the following: “hey @realDonaldTrump — regarding your claim that Captain Khan would be alive if you were president: go bleep yourself. #debate.”
Despite the vulgarity and wallowing over the lack of decorum in the presidential election, only ABC found 30 seconds to cover Lehrich’s remarks and the obvious anger inside Clinton’s campaign for what one of their teammates did.
