Trump lays the groundwork to back out of the debates: I dont think Anderson Cooper should be a moderatorThe GOP nominee is already priming his supporters to cry foul about his treatment at the debates
SOPHIA TESFAYE
In the Washington Post interview published Thursday evening that caused all the stir about Donald Trumps continued birtherism, the GOP nominee also announced that he no longer supports at least one of the already agreed upon debate moderators.
I dont think Anderson Cooper should be a moderator, because Anderson Cooper works for CNN and over the last couple of days, Ive seen how Anderson Cooper behaves, Trump told The Posts Robert Costa. Hell be very biased, very biased. I dont think he should be a moderator.
Just days prior, the controversial candidate called for a debate with no moderators at all, preemptively complaining that the presence of journalists will rig create an unfair advantage for his opponent.
Let Hillary and I sit there and just debate, because I think that the system is being rigged, so I think its going to be a very unfair debate, Trump said on CNBC.
