Fox News tells Trump surrogates they are no longer welcomed at first debate

By Victor Nava
August 21, 2023

Fox News informed the Trump campaign on Monday that surrogates for the former president will not be allowed to attend the first Republican primary debate.

The barring of Trump surrogates from attending Wednesday’s debate at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee comes one day after the 77-year-old former president confirmed that he would not participate in the event, which will be aired on Fox News, CNN’s Alayna Treene reported on Monday.

The Post has confirmed that surrogates for any candidate who didn’t make the stage will not be allowed at the debate, and that it is not a Trump-specific ban. 

The ex-commander-in-chief’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., had said Monday that he would be attending the showdown as a surrogate for his father.

His fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was also expected to show up at the event and run media for the former president, according to the Daily Caller.

That's fair, since he's refusing to participate.

Report: Fox News Bans Trump Surrogates from Debate ‘Spin Room’

Report: Fox News Bans Trump Surrogates from Debate ‘Spin Room’

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 21 Aug 2023

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.

Although Trump is not attending the first Republican primary debate hosted by Fox News Wednesday, several of his surrogates planned to attend the event.

As Breitbart News reported:

    Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Byron Donalds (R-FL), and former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake will attend the debate, NBC News reported. The conservative heavyweights will be joined by Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle.

    Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle will attend to conduct media interviews for the Trump team. They will also promote the former president on their Rumble shows.

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.

 Trump and his enterage once again thinking they are going to dominate. He doesn't participate they shouldn't be welcome!

I'm tired of Trump and his narcissim.

According to the article, they're not banned from attending the debate itself, or even from being interviewed.  They're just not entitled to any special treatment not accorded other members of the audience as surrogates or representatives of the Trump campaign.

Trump's representatives will be there and will be interviewed.  Fox must have realized they're going to need some Trump after two hours with less people watching their network than a sonogram.

That's just weak on the part of Fox.  Hadn't planned on watching the post-debate spin anyway, but this makes it an even easier choice to make.
