GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum is speaking out about how Fox News and the Republican National Committee handled the early debate this past Thursday. Santorum is particularly critical of the RNC for locking the doors at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland for the 5 PM debate.
“The initial frustration was walking out on stage and having nobody in the arena, which was off putting to some people and some people were, pretty much, thrown of their game by it. In fact, several admitted it.
"The sad thing was the RNC didn’t allow anybody to come in. That’s what people don’t know. It’s not that people didn’t want to come. People wanted to come but they weren’t allowed in. They actually wanted an empty hall. None of us knew that.
“They locked the doors. They wouldn’t let anybody in. That was part of the conversation afterwards.
"Look at the dynamism and the energy in the room because you had all these people [at the prime time debate] and you had to muster your own energy. It was almost like a one-on-one interview and if you’re doing an one-on-one interview it’s hard to project that kind of passion.
"I thought we did okay but I think other folks found it off-putting," Santorum said.
