The moderator of Thursday night’s Univision town hall with Kamala Harris is pushing back on claims that the Democratic presidential candidate used a Teleprompter at the event.

Figures such as Sean Hannity and Bill Ackman have advanced the claim, even though the Teleprompter text was written in Spanish.

Enrique Acevedo, the moderator, wrote on X on Thursday evening, “The prompter displayed my introduction (in Spanish) and then it switched to a timer. Any claim to the contrary is simply untrue.”

Daniel Coronell, president of Univision News, also posted, “The teleprompter that displays a text written in Spanish was a support element for the town hall moderator.”

But their comments didn’t stop Hannity and Ackman from making the claims this morning.

Univision postponed Donald Trump’s planned town hall this week because of Hurricane Milton, which is rapidly intensifying and is predicted to make landfall in central Florida on Wednesday.

Trump’s town hall was planned for Tuesday in Miami, but now has been rescheduled to Oct. 16.

Kamala Harris’s Univision town hall will continue as scheduled, with the event planned for Thursday. Both town halls will air at 10 p.m. Et.

Daniel Coronell, president of Noticias Univision, said in a statement, “The health and safety of everyone involved in this event is the highest priority.”

The separate town halls are expected to be a significant event in the final weeks of the campaign, as both candidates seek the remaining undecided vote.

The current path of Milton is for central Florida and the Tampa area.

Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will answer questions from voters on TV — just not at the same time.

A story this remarkable was unlikely to go unnoticed by the industry for long, but this is a quick turnaround even for Hollywood.

Earlier this month, world media was captivated by the story of the four children – Lesly, 13; Soleiny, 9; Tien Noriel, 4; and Cristin, 1 – who were found alive in the Amazon after a rescue operation that searched more than 1,600 miles of dense forest.

Volcanicas, the Latin American feminist journal ordered by a Bogota judge on May 4 to rectify its damning sexual harassment and abuse allegations towards Oscar-nominated Colombian filmmaker Ciro Guerra, has updated its reporting with more detail in the original testimonies.

The revised May 12 report also includes alleged evidence of Guerra’s presence in the places mentioned in the report, as well as new screenshots, among them a conversation with Uber about one case in New York where the driver allegedly kicked the director out of his car after witnessing the harassment of one woman. The driver has not come forward, however.

Volcanicas has also indicated that they consulted with Daniel Coronell, a prominent Colombian journalist and president of news for U.S. Hispanic media giant Univision, who also edited the report,...
