Donald Trump Jr. accuses Fox News of censoring Trump supporters post-GOP debate.

Donald Trump Jr. Accuses ⁣Fox News of Silencing Trump Supporters

Donald ‍Trump‌ Jr., ​the eldest son⁤ of former President⁤ Donald Trump, has made a bold claim against Fox News. He believes that the network is actively trying to “silence”⁤ his father’s​ supporters following the‌ GOP ⁣presidential ‌primary debate in Milwaukee.

Trump Jr. attributes this alleged censorship to ‍the decline in Fox News’ ratings‌ and the overwhelming success of his father’s recent ​interview with former Fox News host Tucker​ Carlson.

In a ⁤post on X, formerly‌ known as Twitter, Trump Jr. states, “Fox News is trying ‌to censor and silence Trump⁤ supporters⁤ to protect their hand-picked establishment candidates.” He believes that this censorship is a major factor in the network’s declining ratings.

Trump Jr. shared a post from Trump supporter ⁤Jack Posobiec, who claimed that Fox⁣ News ⁣ordered security to block Trump Jr. and Kim Guilfoyle⁤ from the post-debate spin room. ‌This incident further supports Trump Jr.’s accusation of‌ censorship.

That’s a big ⁤reason why ​their ratings are dying, while my father’s ‌interview with Tucker Carlson is already at 93 million views!!! https://t.co/Qf4LI63BiB

The ‍decision by Trump to skip the debate likely played a role in Fox News’ actions. As the ‌front-runner⁣ in ​the 2024 GOP race, Trump’s⁤ absence from the debate deprived his ‌surrogates of spin room credentials.

The ‍Hill reported that Fox News informed campaigns that only surrogates of candidates ‌who attended the debate would receive ​spin room credentials. This ⁣is where allies and supporters ​of candidates typically lobby media outlets for‌ favorable coverage.

Instead of attending the debate, Trump opted for an interview with Tucker Carlson that aired ⁢just ​minutes before the GOP debate on Fox News. The interview took place at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, and covered various topics,⁣ including‍ President ‍Joe ⁢Biden, criminal indictments against Trump, the death of Jeffrey ⁢Epstein, and electric vehicles.
