Trump skipping Fox GOP debate to attend AIPAC conference. (TOI).
Republican front-runner says he’s ‘doing a major speech in front of a very important group of people that night’
Republican front-runner Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would
skip the upcoming Republican debate to address the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee’s annual policy conference.
The pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC has not yet
released its schedule of speakers for the upcoming policy conference,
but has confirmed that Trump, along with former secretary of state and
Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe
Biden, will the address over 18,000 attendees expected at the
conference, which runs March 20-22.
Trump said he had only recently found out
about the Fox News debate, and wasn’t able to cancel his appearance at
the AIPAC conference.
On Tuesday, an AIPAC staffer sent out an email missive to
student activists warning them that any disruption during Trump’s
appearance at the conference could result in the rescinding of their
conference credentials and blacklisting from all future AIPAC events.
The organization later distanced itself from
complaints that it was unfairly targeting students, and said that the
email was sent in error and without authorization. Hmmm.....Unbeatable as a salesman. Read the full story here.
