ABC World News Tonight Tells HALF A STORY on Presidential Campaign Endorsements

ABC News, the most Regime-servile of the news organizations, performed a presidential campaign roundup that only reported on one of two presidential endorsements offered today. Of course, the endorsement reported on is the one most favorable to the Regime. Watch as ABC’s Terry Moran enthusiastically chronicles the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by over 200 Romney, Bush, McCain alumni:     TERRY MORAN: And some good news for Harris, more than 200 former staffers of the previous three Republican presidential nominees, that’s Mitt Romney, the late John McCain, and George W. Bush, have come out and endorsed Kamala Harris, saying that for them, quote, “the alternative is untenable”. “Good news”, says Moran of the endorsement of these 200 former staffers.

Despite being only 24, Isak has scored 108 goals during his senior career, not a bad statistic at all.
