Clinton campaign says yes to NBC, despite its hesitations
It’s official: The debate is on.
Despite the Clinton campaign’s concerns about an MSNBC personality’s derogatory comments about Chelsea Clinton, the Clinton campaign on Wednesday agreed to participate in a Feb. 26 debate hosted by NBC-WKYC Channel 3 at Cleveland State University.
The Obama campaign has already agreed to participate in the Feb. 26 debate. Clinton had initially agreed to the Feb. 26 debate, but later suggested she might withdraw after MSNBC’s David Shuster said the Clinton campaign “pimped out” Chelsea by having her call celebrities and Democratic party superdelegates. Shuster was later suspended for the network for his remark.
But Wednesday, Clinton spokesman Isaac Baker said the campaign had decided to go forward as planned.
“We still have concerns about the behavior of members of the NBC team, but that should not stop Ohioans from getting an opportunity to see the candidates debate the issues,” Baker said.
