C-SPAN suspends political editor Steve Scully indefinitely for LYING about his Twitter account being hacked when he sent message about Trump to Anthony Scaramucci

C-SPAN anchor Steve Scully has been put on 'administrative leave' after lying about his Twitter account being hacked, the cable network announced Thursday.

Scully had sent out a tweet to Trump critic Anthony Scaramucci on the heels of President Donald Trump calling Scully - who was supposed to moderate the now cancelled second presidential debate - a 'Never Trumper' on Sean Hannity's show.

'Out of frustration, I sent a brief tweet addressed to Anthony Scaramucci,' Scully said in a statement given to DailyMail.com by C-SPAN. 'The next morning when I saw that this tweet had created a new controversy, I falsely claimed that my Twitter account had been hacked.'

C-SPAN's Steve Scully has been put on administrative leave after he lied about his Twitter account being hacked after he dashed off a tweet to Trump critic Anthony Scaramucci seeking advice

The network, known for airing House and Senate floor action and Congressional hearings without interruption, said Scully made C-SPAN and the Commission on Presidential Debates aware of what he had done on Wednesday.

'By not being immediately forthcoming to C-SPAN and the Commission about his tweet, he understands that he made a serious mistake,' a statement from C-SPAN said. 'We were very saddened by this news and do not condone his actions.'

The network said Scully's leave would begin immediately.

Again, I believe it was the post by someone clutching their pearls that Biden would dare say he had a booming economy that took us down this road. So yeah, fine, they all lie.

Yep that’s why we just need to just judge politicians by their actions..... I am voting trump bc I feel his policies are much better than Bidens.... I don’t feel Biden even believes in his own policies.... he just comes up with something that will get him the most votes.

INVISIBLE EDGE
Voter-registration suggests 2020 race closer than believed: JPMorgan
Voter-registration patterns give Trump an edge invisible to polls: JPMorgan

I don't know why they are saying registrations are invisible to pollsters. Many pollsters pull state registration data daily because it is easy to do. Not to say Trump doesn't have a pretty good shot at PA. He does.

Another thing to remember is that party registration does not equal party preference. There are a lot of so-called Democrats in places like Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia up through Central Pennsylvania who have voted straight GOP since Reagan. Similarly, there are a lot of fiscal conservative/social liberal Republicans in urban/suburban areas that are lost to Trump.

Polling isn't perfect, but it is in my experience more reliable as it is a direct question about ballot preference. A good campaign takes the polling and uses the trends there to get the right folks registered. A good example is Obama 2012 registering a crazy number of single women under 40 in Northern Virginia. It was a giant chunk of the state's new voters.
