Chris Wallace, anchor of Fox News Sunday, spoke with Kilmeade & Friends about his debate questions to Donald Trump. Wallace also weighed in on the use of phone interviews on Sunday shows.
Wallaces reaction to Trumps criticism of his debate questions:
I dont think he particularly likes tough questions they were tough questions and I dont apologize for anything I asked.
On the bankruptcy question:
You cant ask him about his voting record, you cant ask him about his record as governor of a state because all he has is his business record. Its a little unusual he was involved in four bankruptcies where people lost billions of dollars and thousands of jobs . It would be like having Mitt Romney and not asking him about Bain Capital.
Wallace on those who dont take Trump seriously:
I take Trump absolutely seriously and all these people who think this is just a summer fling and he is just going to go away republicans who are saying that are dopes.
Wallace on Trump doing phoners & on the reports that Trump might be snubbing his show after the debate:
The idea you would do a phoner with a presidential candidate where they have all the control and you have none, where you cant see them and they may have talking points in from of them
we are not a call in radio show, we are a Sunday talk show and he is a presidential candidate, you do an interview on camera. As far as Trump doing Chuck Todd and not me, we invited him, they said he wasnt available, I guess he was available to someone else, well survive.

That is stupid, how does someone become a 10x billionaire without answering tough questions?
You just know he was raised with the little red book.
You just know he was raised with the little red book.
I’m not sure what tough hard hitting questions were asked. it was more question designed to go after Trump and nothing on substance at all. The whole debate was just a Q&A session.
I guess the suits at Faux told Chris to shut up and throw softballs at Trump now.
Who is Chris Wallace?
Wallace’s father was far left, Wallace I am 100 percent certain is a Democrat, he never ask’s them dumb or hard questions.
That wasn’t even a hard question for Diamond Donald Trump.
GM, Chrysler and lots of other companies used bankruptcy to reorganize, nothing really stigmatizes a company or individual using the law. It like an IRS loophole.
Hundreds of thousand Americans would be out of a job if companies folded rather than get a chance to survive.
Wallace is a weak pip squeak, I never liked him.
Why doesn’t Fox hire People like Mark Levin as contributors and panelists.
If Wallace thinks he could ask similar questions to a Democrat in a debate and get away with it he’s delusional. He would be gone in a New York minute. Dems don’t tolerate attacks like that. Only Republicans are stupid enough to stand there and be a punching bag.
“Who is Chris Wallace?”
A dim bulb who thinks he is a shining media star!
Trump was never asked any questions. He was accused of things by Kelly and Wallace and they cut him off several times. No one else would like that either.
Roger Ailes put the Fatwah out on Diamond Donald, and his 3 stooges followed his orders.
Diamond Donald 3- stooges and Ailes O and lower ratings
Chris Wallace and his deranged biased inquisitors
took more than 38% of the Ambush-Debate for THEMSELVES.
They stole the debate from America and should
be sequestered, then fired — if FOX “News” ever
wants to be taken seriously again.
Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley—they would put tough questions to Mom & Pop operations, but you never saw them going after big corporations with house counsel.
Same here with his son: the target determines the questions. This “debate” was pretty much Tom Wolf’s `Ambush At Ft. Bragg”: a gotcha show. They forgot they didn’t control the editing.
I would have loved to seen that guy who has a permanent smirk on his face in Basic Training back in the 1980’s.
“Soldier! Why are you smirking? You think it’s funny??? You laughing at me boy!” (many blanket parties to follow)
To the liberals at Fox: Disrespectful, snotty, and juvenile comments are called “Tough Questions”.
No thanks.
I dont think he particularly likes tough questions they were tough questions and I dont apologize for anything I asked.
It’s not about you, Doozie.
"Now, we attack the leading white guy, like your killer-B's."
When do they EVER ask Obama tough questions? Or Shrillery?
Point 1. You were the moderator of the debate.. not one the debaters... you as the same question of the candidates on policy.. not ask question point at one candidate.....it was not time for you to do a investigative interview of Trump....its was not Trump press conference for the media to ask pointed questions of Trump
its was a candidate debate and you were there to moderate ...you didn’t do the roll you were hired for
