Democrats have asked for equal time......

Link to tweet

While I don't agree with this decision to air drumpf, since they have made it, the networks have an obligation to provide the Democrats equal time. Make no mistake what is going to happen tomorrow will be a campaign speech, not an attempt to provide information and/or comfort to the public in a time of crisis and if the speech is made for politics, then the Dems deserve a seat at the table.
