WASHINGTON — GOP front-runner Donald Trump is protesting the Fox News Republican primary debate Thursday, and is instead hosting his own event nearby to raise money for veterans.

The events are both taking place at the same time in Iowa.

Trump hopes his event, which he says is raising money for veterans, will pull viewers away from Fox News and embarrass the network.

Trump is skipping the debate for what he called "unfair" treatment from one of the debate's moderators, host Megyn Kelly.

Trump's event below began at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT.

You can watch the Fox News debate below, starting at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT.
