Dana Loesch: Carson Team ‘Literally Ran Out of the Building’ to Avoid Coming on My Show
Conservative radio and TheBlaze host Dana Loesch tweeted earlier this afternoon that Ben Carson‘s team “literally ran out of the building to avoid coming on my radio program.”
In the past Loesch has criticized Carson’s views on gun control as a “deal killer,” though since then Carson has clarified his position, including in an appearance last year on Loesch’s radio show.
But as Loesch said on Twitter today, Carson “began avoiding me” after she asked him some tough questions on the Second Amendment. She’s already trying to get Carson on some time later this week, but is presently putting the blame on Carson’s staff, not the candidate himself.
You can see Loesch’s tweets here:
Well that’s unfortunate. Ben Carson’s people just literally ran out of the building to avoid coming on my radio program. #dlrs

According to producer Allison, he raced out w/o taking off his makeup after talking w Glenn. I’ve always been very courteous. Disappointing.

After I asked normal 2A questions that I’ve asked all the candidates, he began avoiding me. I was critical of his smart gun support.

I don’t play favs with candidates. I’ve been asked to be a media surrogate before (declined), I praise, ask critical Qs where appropriate.

Months and months of requests. It wasn’t that they didn’t know.

OK — just heard, now Carson’s people tell Allison that they will commit to a time this week. #dlrs

The funny thing is that I was going to compliment his recent defense of 2A. Not sure what they were expecting.

I’ll update either way if they confirm or not. I put the onus on his staff unless the candidate himself shows otherwise.
