President Trump said NBC and MSNBC “should be ashamed” for a technical glitch that forced the first Democratic debate to go to commercial.
“Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!” Trump tweeted Wednesday night on his way to Japan.
.@NBCNews and @MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible technical breakdown in the middle of the debate. Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!

At the start of the second hour of the first night of the two-night event, there was background noise as moderator Chuck Todd asked his first question.
Todd asked the control room to fix the issue, but the audio team was unable to immediately fix it.
The NBC anchor then cut to commercial.
Earlier in the night, Trump tweeted that the debate was “BORING!”
BORING!
