MANCHESTER, N.H. - Reporters covering the Democratic presidential debate Saturday evening were given what you call a chilly reception.
They're working from an ice rink.
“Dress warmly,” a spokeswoman for ABC News advised credentialed reporters in an email.
No joke. Here's the ice rink we're in for the #DemDebate. #ReportersOnIcepic.twitter.com/S2J3ddbbqh
