Donald Trump Campaign Manager: Other Candidates Thinking About Skipping Fox Debate
Breitbart ^ | 01/27/16 | Charlie Spiering

Speaking on Good Morning America and Morning Joe this morning, Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski hinted that other candidates were thinking of dropping out of the upcoming Fox News debate after Trump decided to bail.

He asserted that anchor Megyn Kelly was "obsessed" with his boss, which was one reason why Trump decided not to participate.

"Megyn Kelly is totally obsessed with Mr. Trump," Lewandowski said on Good Morning America. "She's done multiple shows on why he shouldn't be even involved in the race on television. She's completely obsessed with him. It's impossible to have a fair and honest debate."

Lewandowski argued that Fox News was trying to use the event to promote its own employees, not the issues that mattered to voters.

"What Fox wants to do is they want to have 24 million people tune in to watch Donald Trump so that their anchors can have the story about them," he said, pointing out that Trump could see it was a "bad deal" to appear at the debate.

Lewandowski previewed a Trump event in Des Moines, saying he would be raising money for wounded veterans, and said in an interview on Morning Joe that other campaigns had phoned them for details of the event.

"I had a number of calls yesterday with some of the other campaigns who said, hey, can we come and join you in raising money for the wounded warriors, for veterans because, you know, if Fox isn't going to be fair to you, what makes you think they're going to be fair to us," he said.

He called Fox executives "very dishonest" for accusing him of threatening Kelly in phone calls, and accused them of favoring other candidates because they had family members working for them.

I do not watch TV news. Many lower information types do.

Watching TV is like being in a debate where only your opponent is allowed to speak.

“But, dig this: A media organization is really not supposed to act as a house organ for a particular faction of a political party.”

Remember this. FOX was kicked OUT of the White House by the current Administration. Some of the other 'networks' have offices IN the White House.

FOX is just trying to get BACK in the White House as they are sure that A REPULICAN will win, and they want one who will make them the PICK OF THE LITTER. That's why they have tried to support BUSH. BUSH is losing, so their second choice is CRUZ.

They know Trump won't give them any 'special' consideration.

That is why the WAR ON TRUMP by FOX exists.

Trump is live on One America News. He has Vets sharing stories and plans. This site has Donald’s plans for VA health reform. It has a place to donate. I used AMEX.
