Report: FOX NEWS BANS Trump Surrogates from Debate ‘Spin Room’
Breitbart ^ | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Posted on 08/21/2023 8:18:53 PM PDT by AnthonySoprano

Fox News reportedly told former President Donald Trump’s surrogates they are not allowed access to the post-debate “spin room” following Trump’s announcement that he would skip the debate due to a significant polling advantage.

Aides typically tout their candidates and criticize their opponents in the “spin room,” according to Axios.

However, Fox News is no longer allowing Trump’s team to represent the former president in the “spin room” due to Trump’s decision to skip the debate. The conservative cable news outlet said post-debate credentials would be given only to “participating candidate/campaigns,” according to a memo obtained by Axios.

Members of Trump’s campaign, including his senior advisers, were also planning on being in the Spin Room.

But Fox News is in charge of credentials for the Spin Room. The RNC manages credentials for the actual debate, and sources said those tickets are still expected be honored.

Trey Like Graham , Issa all show and no Go

Throw Ron Paul in there, too. He said "if and when I get the banking committee chairmanship, I will espose the Fed for the criminals they are".

He didn't.

He must've been "shown the abyss".

Well Trump is doing a tucker during the debate so there should be another feed with the Trump team criticizing the debate while it airs in the back ground on Fox. Like Mystery Science theater 2000/3000. might be kind a fun to watch.

Go read the news, pick any site. It’s been widely circulated and also discussed here on FR over the past several days. They’ve been bragging about it, which make it sweet that it was canceled.

Sounds perfectly fair if ony the surrogates of debate participants are admitted. NO ONE else besides Fox reporters.

Why would Trump people want to be there? Isn’t their lead insurmountable?

They dump all over the process, then whine about it.

She and her husband each gave Biden’s 2020 campaign $615,000.

And what are we average Americans limited to giving our candidates?

I’m so old I can remember when FOX NEWS billed itself as “Fair and Balanced” and declared “We Report, You Decide”.

And meant it.

Of course, all that is just folklore now.

That’s true, but they’re right on this one. I don’t care what Don Jr. Thinks about anything…I want to know what his father, the candidate, thinks.

Maybe Biden will try to have Hunter as his “surrogate”? The whole concept of surrogate candidates is ridiculous anyway. I think it was invented the last time around to let Biden stay in his basement and avoid questions.

Not certain, but Tucker will likely stream it live on his Twitter account. Trump might do it through other ways, so watch for his announcements. It will be available.
