Speaking with reporters at the debate, he expressed his disappointment, stating that Fox News was attempting to “ban people from actually having discourse about politics,” a situation that should not come as a surprise to anyone. Kimberly Guilfoyle, his partner, chimed in, calling it “un-American.”
Trump then accused the debate organizers of trying to undermine his father’s campaign, using this incident as an example of why the former president made the right decision not to attend. “It’s beneath him,” Trump Jr. asserted. “When you know you’re walking into a setup like this, you understand exactly what’s going on.”
“This is no different than what we see from the Democrats,” he added. “It’s no different than what we’re seeing from the Fulton County DA when they try to put a gag order on Donald Trump, preventing him from defending himself in court proceedings. It’s an intimidation tactic for anyone else who would dare to defend him.”
