Donald Trump Jr. has angrily accused Fox News of blocking him from the Fox News post-debate spin room on Wednesday night. Don Jr.’s father, former President Donald Trump, refused to participate in Fox News’ Republican debate, which included eight candidates.
The debate was a fiery two-hour affair, which included numerous attacks on the former president by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
The former president participated in a pre-recorded interview with ex Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which was released on X as counter-programming during the debate. Carlson was fired by Fox News earlier this summer when his racist texts were revealed in court.
Don Jr. claimed that Fox security physically blocked himself and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, from entering the spin room, where representatives of the various candidates made their case to the media about how their candidate performed the best.
Fox had previously announced that representatives of candidates who refused to participate would not be allowed in the spin room.
Don Jr. took to Twitter to make his case. “Fox News is trying to censor and silence Trump supporters to protect their hand-picked establishment candidates,” he wrote. “That’s a big reason why their ratings are dying, while my father’s interview with Tucker Carlson is already at 93 million views!!!”
