ABC host presses Kamala Harris ally on VP's false claim about active US troops: 'Why would she say that?'
Fox News
ABC News' Martha Raddatz pressed a Harris ally, Gov. Maura Healey, on Sunday about why VP Harris claimed there were no active duty military personnel in any war zones.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
ABC News' David Muir and Linsey Davis hosted the first presidential debate between Harris and Donald Trump on Tuesday. Davis and Muir fact-checked Donald Trump multiple times during the debate but failed to fact-check Harris at all.
"Our fact-checkers found that to be false," Raddatz said during the interview on Sunday. "There are currently 900 U.S. military personnel in Syria, 2,500 U.S. troops in Iraq. All have been under regular threat from drones and missiles for months. We also have action in the Red Sea. Also, every single day, the Navy SEALs, Delta Forces special operators can be part of any sort of deadly raid."
