Trump tweets that George Will should be ‘thrown off’ Fox News
Donald Trump in a series of tweets on Thursday attacked political pundit George Will, accusing the columnist of being “biased.”
“Broken down political pundit @GeorgeWill, who is wrong almost all of the time, should be thrown off @FoxNews. Boring and totally biased,” Trump tweeted.
Trump originally sent the tweet at approximately 9:25 a.m. The tweet was deleted shortly thereafter, but sent out again at 10:37 a.m.
{mosads}Will penned a column on Thursday supporting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) in the Republican primary. The subhead of the column read: “Silly season is over, and the time to dump Trump is now.”
“Every day that such errant nonsense sloshes through the Republican nominating contest is a day when the party’s claim to represent what the country craves — adult supervision — becomes less credible,” Will wrote in his nationally syndicated column.
“Fortunately, sufficient days remain for Republicans to reshuffle the deck, to relegate Trump’s rampaging to the nation’s mental attic, and to recognize in Christie a serious political talent.”
Trump sent two additional tweets lambasting Will after the original tweet reappeared.
“Dopey @GeorgeWill, a big proponent of the Iraq War and other castastrophes, doesn’t like me very much,” he said. “That means I win!”
He also accused Will of holding a grudge, saying the pundit has never forgiven him for skipping one of his speeches years ago.
“I skipped a speech given years ago at Mar-a-Lago by dopey @GeorgeWill because he’s BORING – he never forgot!” the third tweet said.
