Fox News Responds to Trump’s Latest ’Twitter Poll’ With First-Rate Trolling (330 pm)

Fox News has issued a statement responding to Donald Trump‘s conduct on social media, calling The Donald out for his timidity with what can only be described as trolling of the highest order.

Trump has said that he might not attend Fox News’s GOP debate this Thursday because, he says, co-moderator Megyn Kelly isn’t “fair” to him. He took his grievances to Twitter and Instagram Tuesday afternoon, asking fans, “Should I do the GOP debate?”

Fox News responded in a statement given to Mediaite, saying:

We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.

Per Breitbart:
Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate — including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.

They are calling Trump out on backing away from his commitments and running from a fight. Maybe Trump doesn’t want to have to face Cruz after having talked today about how well he (Trump) will get along with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

Poor baby.

Hey DT, life isn't "fair".

I love how some people thought Fox News was conservative. They’re center-left, whereas CNN is left and MSNBC is far left. There is no center-right or right wing channel and never will be.

Trump is a genius. The only one to crack 40%.

The Mohammedan has only part of the truth. Trump does exhibit several of the qualities of Adolf, but in one area it seems as though he might lack, and that is the killer instinct, which Hillary could give away half and stlil have superabundance. It is Hillary who would fit the Hitler image.

If you’re not familiar with One America News you’ll be glad to know they are actually center-right. It’s everything Fox News should have been. They are a small network and not all cable companies carry it yet but they are trying to get better coverage.

So, Trump tells Megyn Kelly to shove it and goes to raise money for, and probably donate a bunch of money to Wounded Warriors instead of attending the debate.

In the mean time Fox News counters by invites a Muslim advocate to help asks questions of the other GOP candidates.

Just who will most Americans side with in that dust up do you suppose?

I got news for Fox...it will not be them.

I second that..

I’m late to this I guess, but what the heck started this today?

I can’t figure it out, did Fox make an out of the blue Trump comment today?

Or is this a Trump move to Wooo Liberals who will LOVE the whole “ Fvck Fox News” angle? I hate them too, just like you”

Agree. Most of Fox news has been left trash. Even “O” is the dumb as a box of rocks. Nothing left to Fox that is worth watching.

Trump was complaining about Megyn, nothing new. He put an instagram on Twitter, should he or shouldn’t he debate. I think it was just interaction with his supporters because he’s not one to take advice but Fox then came out with this.
______________

FOX News mocks Trump with this Press Release:

“We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president,” Fox News said in the statement, adding this gem: “A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.

Anyone know what cable channel, if any, will be covering this Trump event?

I would love to see if they are head to head, which event would pull more viewers.
