#BoycottNBC Trends After Network Announces Donald Trump Town Hall In Same Time Slot As Joe Biden Event – By Aaron Homer (Inquisitr) / Oct 14 2020
The hashtag #BoycottNBC is trending on social media after the network announced that it will host a town hall-style meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday night. The event is scheduled at the same time that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is hosting a similar event.
As NBC News reported, Thursday, October 15 was previously the date of the second of three presidential debates this year. However, the Commission on Presidential Debates made the decision to change the format of the program to a virtual question-and-answer session due to the president having been diagnosed with COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, days earlier. Trump refused to participate in such a format, and the debate was canceled.
Biden’s campaign scheduled its own event in which the candidate would take questions from voters. Additionally, on Wednesday morning, NBC announced that Trump will do the same, with his program to be aired by the network. The two competing events will air against one another, both at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, with the former V.P.’s airing on ABC.
