Huey called Trump a “demagogue” and said journalists are his new scapegoat: “First it was the Mexicans, then it was the Muslims, now it’s you”. “The Trump-Pence campaign has all the staffing and resources we need to win in OH, and we are reaching out beyond the Republican base to independents and disaffected Democrats”, he said in a statement.
