I wasn't there, but from my experience working for a news broadcaster I must suppose that out of courtesy they mentioned before going on stage that there would be a fact checker. We know that he then refused to go ahead. It took half an hour to get him on stage.

They needed a fact checker at Trump’s debate, but Dana Bash and Jake Tapper weren’t willing to call Trump out on his Gish gallop of lies and misstatements.
Wow. I didn’t know that’s how it worked. That is appalling. No wonder we are in the Orwellian sh*tshow we are in. The less intelligent among us have been gobbling up Fox News for decades and then watching interviews where the fact checkers aren’t “allowed” because the liar won’t have it. Utterly appalling that WE THE PEOPLE “allow” our rights to facts and truth be so diminished and twisted by fascists and demagogues.
As I recall, when he told the story on his website he added the qualifier "or something". I don't follow him (surprise), and now I can't find where this was reported, but that "or something" has a familiar ring.

I didn't know that - he blamed them for the delay, describing it as technical problems.
Yes, well I suppose he would.

Is that what happened? He claims the meeting had technical issues that delayed him, but that makes more sense.
He was livid there was going to be a fact checker! While onstage he blamed it on them not having their equipment running properly ahead of time.
He’s so caught up in his own lies he probably he can’t see or hear anything other than what comes out of his mouth.
