Donald Trump is naming names as to who he'd like to see moderate his upcoming debates with Hillary Clinton as well as revealing who should steer clear.
Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt's nationally-syndicated radio show, Trump said:
"I think [NBC Nightly News anchor] Lester Holt is a good guy. I'm okay with having [him], to be honest with you.
"I'm okay with having new faces. I like some of the old faces, too, but I'm okay with having new faces."
But Trump also has several journalists he wants no part of.
"I don't want to have people that are unfair. When you look at what [CNN's] Candy Crowley did with, you know, with Mitt Romney — that was so unfair. And she was wrong on top of everything."
He was referring to Crowley attempting to fact-check Romney on Libya during his debate with President Barack Obama in 2012 — a moment conservatives believe was unfair and helped the incumbent president.
CNN's Mary Katharine Ham is also a no-go as far as Trump is concerned.
"I've never gotten along with her, no … Never gotten along," Trump told Hewitt. "No, she is not a fan of mine … I don't know her, but she says only bad things, so let's cross her name off."
