National Review, a semi-monthly conservative magazine based in New York City, published a special edition Friday bashing GOP front-runner Donald Trump.
22 conservatives contributed to this special anti-Trump manifesto.
Tonight National Review was disinvited from the February GOP debate after its very public rebuke of Donald Trump.
Jack Fowler, the publisher of National Review, posted this on Twitter.

The Corner reported:
National Review was asked by the RNC to partner in the GOP debates. We agreed. Our initial partner was NBC, with whom we were to help moderate the pre–Super Tuesday debate, originally to be held on February 26 in Houston, then suspended by the RNC in retribution over the antics of CNBC moderators in its now infamous debate last month. A new main host was picked this week — CNN. National Review was to partner, along with Salem Radio and Telemundo, the debate rescheduled for February 25.
Tonight, a top official with the RNC called me to say that National Review was being disinvited. The reason: Our “Against Trump“ editorial and symposium. We expected this was coming. Small price to pay for speaking the truth about The Donald.
The publisher of National Review Jack Fowler complained on Twitter after the news broke.
