The DNC has announced that it will NOT hold primary debates on Fox News, because obviously Fox News is of the devil. The DNC can only commit to holding debates on #FakeNew networks, thank you very much.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) said Wednesday it would not permit Fox News to host a presidential primary debate, citing an explosive story this week alleging deep ties between the conservative network and President Trump’s inner circle.
In a statement, DNC Chairman Tom Perez said he had held conversations with Fox News about potentially allowing the network to host a primary debate. But he said the story, published in The New Yorker, caused him to end conversations with the network.
That’s just too hilarious. We’re talking about the same party and networks that were ALL IN for Hillary. Remember the whole Donna Brazile/Hillary/Bernie questions fiasco?
“Recent reporting in The New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and FOX News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates,” Perez said in a statement. “Therefore, FOX News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates.”
Fox is hoping the DNC reconsiders.
“They’re the best debate team in the business and they offer candidates an important opportunity to make their case to the largest TV news audience in America, which includes many persuadable voters,” Fox News senior vice president and Managing Editor Bill Sammon said in a statement.
Ya think?
The DNC was looking for a reason not to have debates on Fox, and it found it. We know the game they’re playing.
