Americans in Hysterics After Don Jr. Nearly Starts Crying After Being Denied Entry to Debate ‘Spin Room’

You mean Kim couldn't charm her way in, Junior?

By

Fox News, the network hosting Wednesday’s GOP primary debate, made it clear well in advance that Trump surrogates would not be allowed in the so-called “spin room” following the debate. The reason? Because Trump skipped the debate.

The very purpose of the spin room is to talk about how a particular candidate did in the debate. That’s hard to do when the candidate is busy giving an interview elsewhere as the debate is happening.

Instead, what Don Jr. and his wife-to-be Kimberly Guilfoyle — and others — wanted was an opportunity to tear apart other debate participants. They would simply have talked about what they think Trump would have said.

That, of course, wouldn’t be fair to any of the other candidates, who all made the effort and showed up.

Trump’s whole message in not showing up was essentially to drive home the point that voters have no choice but him. But that doesn’t mean that the network has to play his game.

Junior was livid. He was actually blocked by Fox security from entering the spin room, despite Guilfoyle’s prior threat to Fox to “just try and stop” them from going in.

As you can see in the video below, Junior’s voice is wavering and he sounds like he’s near tears as he’s on camera talking about the snub. Gregory Korte of Bloomberg happened on the former First Son in the hallway outside:

Now, it’s no secret that Junior is a fragile little snowflake. But one passage from that hallway video says everything that needs to be said about Trump’s attitude about being entitled to the presidency:

“And it’s also why Trump was 100% right to not go to this debate. It’s beneath him! And when you know that you’re walking into a setup because of exactly these kinds of circumstances, you understand exactly what’s going on in mainstream media, even conservative.”

It’s terrifying that anyone like that ever held executive power in this country, or ever could again.
