Limbaugh Hits Fox for Trump Coverage: He Didn’t Jilt You at the Altar!

Donald Trump is pretty adamant that he will not be appearing at Fox News’ Republican debate tomorrow night (it’s still Wednesday, he could change his mind before the night is young), and because it’s a big election story, Fox News has been covering it a lot. Megyn Kelly––whom Trump pinpointed as the reason he’s not going––opened her show with it.

Rush Limbaugh reacted today by saying Fox “was acting like they had been jilted at the altar.”

He took some swipes at the network by saying, “Don’t devote the rest of the night to how a candidate’s not showing up because of you.” Limbaugh admitted he was “stunned” seeing Fox’s reaction.

And, once again, Limbaugh came to Team Trump’s defense, calling the move “a desire to control this and a purposeful decision to not put himself in a circumstance where other people want to make him look bad.”
