Trump Spox: Fox Debate Was ‘Orchestrated to Help One Candidate’ — Marco Rubio

‘A lot of Republican primary voters watch Fox News and to find out that this whole thing could have been orchestrated to help one candidate is really going to backfire’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
KORNACKI: "There is still suspense and mystery about what is happening there. Let me ask you this, though, is there any chance, any chance at all, that Donald Trump will end up participating in the debate tonight or is there zero chance?"
PIERSON: "I think at this point there's zero chance. A lot of people are saying this was planned all along and I can assure you because the event is still in the process of planning that it was planned as soon as that fox statement hit the air waves. Mr. Trump is committed to this event tonight. It is really unfortunate that a national broadcast news network sort of went the way of south park or comedy central with their statement to Mr. Trump. But that was really offensive. Not just to Mr. Trump or his campaign but to the 40% of voters that support Mr. Trump and his policyes."
KORNACKI: "What about the other candidates we're hearing who are going to show up tonight? Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, they've not been in and won't be tonight. Main stage debates apparently they will participate in the so-called undercard debate, then be at this rally. What can you tell us about their role at this rally tonight?"
PIERSON: "I don't really have anything to confirm for you at this point. Right now there is just a lot of speculation on who the individuals are. There have been other candidates' request to participate in this. I welcome anyone to participate in it. It is obvious now that it has also been disclosed one of the fox executives daughter is working for senator Rubio's campaign. So I think we will see a lot of bias coming out of. If news from here on out. I think it is really unfortunate that they've gone this direction considering that a lot of Republican primary voters watch Fox News and to find out that this whole thing could have been orchestrated to help one candidate is really going to backfire."
