ETA: From the Richmond-Times Dispatch.
John Fredericks, a conservative radio host and co-chair of Trump's Virginia campaign, confirmed Stewart's removal and said Stewart was specifically told not to move forward with the protest.
"He went ahead and went forward without our knowledge and without our approval," Fredericks said. "We're running a national campaign not a gubernatorial race."

(182,749 posts)The day after the first debate I posted about his appearance on the powerful RW radio station can't find the link to my thread.
The host was nicely asking him about the debate and Stewart went off about how great Trump's performance was. Including his temperament. The host said he'd been trying all morning to find something positive about it let alone the victory lap Stewart was taking. Stewart went on and on and on. He mentioned Trump's at least 4 times.
The call ended and the host - THE drive time RW morning host here- said "Anyone else thirsty for some Kool-Aid?" I cracked up.
