Donald Trump Jr. suffered a major meltdown this week after Fox News blocked the former first son and his fiancée from entering the GOP post-debate spin room.
Don Jr. lashed out at the conservative news network on Wednesday night when he and Kimberly Guilfoyle were denied access to the post-debate spin room following the first GOP debate of the 2024 election cycle.
According to a video of Don Jr.’s meltdown in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, the former first son accused Fox News of “banning people from actually having a discourse about politics.”
Guilfoyle described the incident as “un-American.”
“Probably shouldn’t surprise any of us. But that’s what it is,” Donald Trump’s 45-year-old son complained. “And I’ve been told by others that I would be able to go in.”
“They’re telling me right now,” Don Jr. continued. “Won’t let me into the spin room.”
The former first son then went on a lengthy tirade that slammed Fox News, the GOP presidential candidates who performed on the debate stage on Wednesday night, the recent indictments against his father, and next year’s election.
“I’m not allowed to go in there because the candidates that they’ve been boosting while simultaneously trying to cut down Trump for the last two years didn’t perform as they had hoped,” Don Jr. charged.
“So they can’t have someone who can maybe be a representative of my father, just like a few weeks ago when I was canceled after the first indictment, I was scheduled to go on, and about 5 minutes before I’m on, I found out I’m no longer on because apparently, I wouldn’t be a great surrogate to talk about my father’s indictment!” he continued.
“Just so we understand what we’re dealing with here. So it shouldn’t surprise any of us.”
Don Jr. and his fiancée – who previously worked for Fox News – then used Wednesday night’s incident outside the post-debate spin room to justify former President Trump’s decision not to participate in the first GOP debate.
The pair also compared the Rupert Murdoch-owned conservative news network to the Democrats and the prosecutors investigating embattled ex-President Trump.
“Trump was 100% right to not go to this debate. It’s beneath him!” Don Jr. fumed. “And when you know that you’re walking into a setup because of exactly these kinds of circumstances, you understand exactly what’s going on in mainstream media, even conservative.”
“I got to call balls and strikes,” he continued. “This is no different than what we see from the Democrats. It’s no different with what we’re seeing from the Fulton County D.A. when they’re trying to put a gag order on Donald Trump so he can’t defend himself in court proceedings and more importantly, to function as an intimidation tactic for anyone else who would defend him.”
“But I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.”
As previously reported, Fox News announced earlier this week that no surrogates for Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign would be allowed in the debate spin room on Wednesday night.
Guilfoyle appeared on Newsmax on Tuesday night and slammed Fox News for the decision – despite the fact that Trump would not be attending the debate.
Guilfoyle also assured the network that she and Don Jr. “would be there” at the debate on Wednesday night and that she’d “like to see somebody try to stop” the couple from entering the post-debate spin room.
“But this is just really pathetic messaging,” she said hours before being stopped. “And I’d just like to see somebody try to stop Don Jr. and me from going someplace.”

I have watched Newsmax all
day; as I did not watch the debate.
Just watching the excerpts from
the debate was enough to cause me
to ask “when did all of these networks
become so biased?”
The only person stupider than trump is Don jr🥶
SOUNDS LIKE DE CAME FROM A DEMORATS BUTT. THATS OK DON. WAIT UNTIL PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ANOTHER RALLEY. BET FOX CAMERAS WONT BE ALLOWED AT THE RALLEY.
Robert you seem to want a convicted criminal for president. If trump had succeeded in over throwing the government, it would be the end of our country.
You want to call him a loose cannon or big mouth, okay. Stupid? it is more a refection of you. What are you going to tell me next, that Biden has done a good job? He does not even know what day it is!
He writes like dimwit talks. Ass forward
Get your facts straight he hasn’t been convicted as of today
Trump may have only been charged with many crimes but he still LOST the election by millions of votes. Most Americans voted against trump they did not want a nut for president
HEY DLC, DIDN’T YOU SEE THE MACHINE ON CNN ON ELECTION NIGHT? I SAW THE MACHINE GIVE BIDEN VOTES AND AT THAT MOMENT, TRUMPS VOTES WENT DOWN THAT EXACT AMOUNT THAT BIDEN WON. BIDEN DIDN’T WIN A THING. HE IS A CROOK THAT STOLE THE VOTES FROM TRUMP. WHAT IDIIOTS WOULD VOTE FOR AN OLD DEMENTED MAN THAT CAN”T FIND HIS WAY OFF THE STAGE?
