Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, announced that he will not participate in the Republican debate that Donald Trump intends to moderate, describing the debate as “beneath the office of the Presidency.”
“Ron Paul, the champion of the Constitution, has advised he will not attend [a debate moderated by Trump]”,” said Paul’s campaign chairman, Jesse Benton, in a statement that included multiple criticisms of Trump. “The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity.”
