Former President Donald Trump criticized CBS News moderator Margaret Brennan for fact-checking Sen. J.D. Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, during a debate on climate change. Trump took to TRUTH Social to express his frustration, accusing Brennan of being unfair.

During the debate, Vance emphasized the need to invest in clean water and energy to address climate change. Following his remarks, Brennan noted the scientific consensus that Earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate.

In his post, Trump stated, "Margaret Brennan just 'fact checked' JD, incorrectly, on 'Climate Change.' When is she going to fact check Tampon Tim on all of his false statements?" Trump referred to Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and running mate of Kamala Harris.

Trump further criticized the media, calling it "Fake News" and accusing them of favoring the Democratic candidates. "Another repeat with the Fake News being unfair to the Republican Candidate, and trying to get the pathetic Democrat across the finish line," Trump added in his post.

The exchange took place during a heated vice presidential debate between Walz and Vance, covering a range of issues, including climate change and economic policies.
