Gay GOP Presidential Candidate Karger To File FEC Complaint Against Fox For Debate Exclusion | Openly gay Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger told SiriusXM’s Michelangelo Signorile this afternoon that he plans to take legal action against Fox News for excluding him from Thursday’s GOP debate. Karger, who met all of the qualifications set forth by the network, was denied a podium and never received an explanation for the snub. “I’m at this moment drafting with my lawyers…a complaint to the FEC,” Karger said. “I’m probably on Wednesday going to go across the street from here, deliver a complaint, which I will file with the Federal Election Commission that day that will require an investigation of Fox to see if they filed this pre-established election criteria.”
