<\/p>\nRNC Chair Reince Priebus Blasts CNBC, Moderators After GOP Debate: WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RNC Chair Reince Priebus was furious at CNBC after last night’s debate, accusing the network of providing a “hostile” environment for the candidates.<\/p>\n
“I was pretty disappointed in the moderators, I’m disappointed at CNBC. I thought maybe they would bring forward a pretty fair forum tonight, but it was one gotcha question, one personal low blow after the other. It’s almost like they tried to design a Rubik’s Cube for every question, to try to take the worst element I think of what the moderators and what the media bring to the table, and all I can tell you is that while I’m proud of our candidates for pretty much sticking together, I’m very disappointed with the moderators and I’m very disappointed with CNBC.”<\/p>\n

Our diverse field of talented and exceptionally qualified candidates did their best to share ideas for how to reinvigorate the economy and put Americans back to work despite deeply unfortunate questioning from CNBC,” said Chairman Priebus.<\/p>\n “One of the great things about our party is that we are able to have a dynamic exchange about which solutions will secure a prosperous future, and I will fight to ensure future debates allow for a more robust exchange. CNBC should be ashamed of how this debate was handled.”<\/p>\n What did you think about the debate?<\/p>\n The post RNC Chair Reince Priebus Blasts CNBC, Moderators After GOP Debate: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
