Richter Turns Down Virtual Debate Challenge

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, NJ – This morning, Kate Gibbs’ campaign released the following statement in response to opponent David Richter’s refusal to participate in two virtual debates:

“Unfortunately, it appears that David Richter has turned down Kate’s challenge to conduct two virtual debates,” stated Campaign Manager Angelo Lamberto. “As with most things, it appears, when David Richter doesn’t get his way, he petulantly takes his ball and goes home…wherever he considers home to be that day, of course. His entitled, arrogant, spoiled rich kid approach to almost everything in life is telling and his insistence on an in-person debate that no TV station would televise and few, if any people, would attend is just plain bizarre. We offered two virtual debates, with two professional moderators, and a complete willingness to work with the Richter campaign to create a format that was both engaging and informative in light of the current circumstances. It’s a shame David wants to stand in the way of that.”
