Platforming Trump was irresponsible given the lies he was always likely to spew at the town hall. Last night, Semafor reported, citing two anonymous sources, that Darcy was “not pleased with the depiction of the meeting”-which, per the sources, ended “relatively cordially,” with Licht backing Darcy-but that “in the aftermath of the meeting and coverage, Darcy has wondered to colleagues whether he should resign or if he will be fired by the network.”Īlongside this new reporting, a gusher of hot takes about the town hall continued to pour forth.
