Multiple people at NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC are reportedly angry over NBC’s decision to host a town hall for President Donald Trump Thursday, according to reporter Yashar Ali.

“I’ve heard from over a dozen NBC, MSNBC, and CNBC sources (talent and staff) and the frustration with and anger toward their employer for scheduling a town hall against Biden is palpable,” Ali tweeted Wednesday.

The second presidential debate, originally scheduled for Thursday, October 15, was canceled after Trump objected to a virtual format proposed by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The format was presented following Trump’s Oct. 2 announcement that he tested positive for COVID-19.

Instead of the debate, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden agreed to a town hall with ABC News Thursday, to air at 8 p.m. NBC announced Wednesday that it will hold a town hall for Trump at the same time – reportedly prompting backlash from multiple “talent and staff” across the networks owned by NBCUniversal.

NBC’s town hall will be outdoors and “TODAY” anchor Savannah Guthrie “will moderate a conversation between Trump and a group of Florida voters,” the network announced. The town hall will comply with guidelines and government regulations put in place amid the pandemic.

ABC News will not be moving its town hall despite NBC’s announcement, according to Ali. NBC News did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller.

NBC is facing backlash on Twitter and from staffers after booking Donald Trump for a town hall event on Thursday that will go head-to-head on-air with Joe Biden’s town hall with rival network ABC.

Insiders told Page Six the last-minute decision is causing “a great deal of internal consternation” at NBC. “People saw the backlash coming, and bosses went ahead with the scheduling anyway because they thought it would get the best ratings,” an insider told Page Six.

Last week, ABC booked Biden for Oct. 15, originally the date of the second presidential debate, which was canceled after Trump tested positive for COVID-19 and refused to participate in a virtual format. Then on Wednesday, NBC announced their presidential get, with “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie moderating outdoors in Miami.

But NBC is pushing back on claims that the Trump town hall is an aggressive ratings ploy. “Ratings were the last on a long list of concerns after public health and [NBC’s] public responsibility to inform viewers. The event is taking place on Thursday because that night is available for both candidates, and NBC offered 8 p.m. because it’s the same time slot that was offered to Joe Biden last week,” a rep said.

A group of supporters of President Donald Trump walked through the streets of New York City holding what they said was the biggest pro-Trump flag ever.

The group gathered outside Trump Tower in Manhattan at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday before they marched toward Times Square, the Daily Mail reported.

The display — which they called “the largest Trump flag ever,” according to the Daily Mail — was part of a project called “Operation Flag Drop” that was organized on Facebook.

The “Trump: Law and Order” flag was 75 feet by 50 feet. It was unfurled over the “Black Lives Matter” mural that was painted on the street outside the Fifth Avenue building.

Giuliani claims to have a text from Hunter Biden to Hunter’s daughter Naomi in which Hunter claims that “Pop”—a family nickname for Joe Biden—forced Hunter and other family members to give Joe half their salaries from their various business deals.

The Biden campaign issued an incredibly weak response today after a bombshell New York Post story revealed a Ukrainian official emailed Hunter Biden in 2015 thanking him for allowing him to meet with his father, who was then-sitting Vice President.

Biden spokesman Andrew Bates told Politico that they reviewed the Vice President’s official schedules from the time of the meeting and “no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.”

So, the campaign’s only defense is that it wasn’t on the Vice President’s official schedule so that means it didn’t happen?

As Arthur Schwartz points out, no one would expect the Vice President’s corrupt meeting with one of the top executives of a firm which was paying his son $50,000 a month to appear on his official White House schedule.

What is on the official schedule, however, was a meeting between Joe Biden and George Soros and Special Envoy and Coordinator of International Energy Affairs Amos Hochstein at the White House. Both men are linked to Ukraine and energy.

This occurred on April 16, 2015, just one day before the bombshell Hunter Biden email was sent thanking him for inviting him to DC and giving him an opportunity to meet with Joe Biden.

What’s going on here?!

Another UFC fighter has come out to publicly support President Trump.

UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal has publicly declared he supports President Trump.

In a recent speech, Jorge says “We either re-elect President Trump and keep America great, or we let Joe Biden destroy the greatest country the world has ever seen.”

Masvidal also went on to say “The Democrats just think that they’re entitled to the Latino vote.”

Mixed martial arts fighter Jorge Masvidal – aka “Gamebred Fighter” – let his fans know just where he stands regarding the 2020 presidential election.

In a video posted to social media, Masvidal – a 35-year-old Miami native born to a Cuban father and Peruvian mother – told UFC fans why he supports the president for a second term.

“The Democrats just think that they’re entitled to the Latino vote. They think that we just have to hand it over to them,” he said. “That’s right. We sure as hell don’t.”

Last weekend, Masvidal joined Donald Trump Jr., U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as well as other UFC stars on a “Fighters Against Socialism” tour that made stops in Tampa, Orlando, Coconut Creek and Miami in Florida.
