This is total BS. Jesse Watters waited outside my house, followed me when I left my driveway, and accosted me with a camera and microphone when I parked my car on a personal errand. The hypocrisy here is stunning.
A Fox News spox told Mediaite that Dan Bailey "ambushing" Tucker in a store was "totally inexcusable" and "no public figure should be accosted regardless of their political persuasion or beliefs simply due to the intolerance of another point of view.”

So,
@NBCNews
is presenting a Trump town hall opposite a Biden town hall? Do I have that right? They are forcing audiences to choose which candidate to watch? Isn't that serving Trump's agenda? Couldn't they have chosen a different time?
