C-SPAN suspends Steve Scully for admitting to lying about being hacked, prompting President Trump to tweet "I was right again!"

Mediaite

Scully, who was supposed to moderate tonight's scheduled second presidential debate before it was canceled, had tweeted "should I respond to Trump" at former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci, later claiming he was hacked. Scully said that when he saw his tweet had created a controversy, “I falsely claimed that my Twitter account had been hacked.” Scully said his comments were in response to right-wing criticism of him being moderator. “These were both errors in judgement for which I am totally responsible for,” Scully said. “I apologize.” The news prompted Trump to tweet: “I was right again! Steve Scully just admitted he was lying about his Twitter being hacked. The Debate was Rigged! He was suspended from C-SPAN indefinitely. The Trump campaign was not treated fairly by the ‘Commission’. Did I show good instincts in being the first to know?"
