Fox News host Andrea Tantaros on Tuesday mocked the Republican presidential candidates who are demanding certain conditions for future debates, comparing them to a bunch of divas such as singer Jennifer Lopez.

Some of the GOP campaigns in recent days made a list of demands for future debates, including requesting a specific temperature for the debate room, and that the networks communicate with candidates directly (instead of the Republican National Committee).

During Tuesday’s episode of “Outnumbered,” Tantaros mocked the demands on-air.

“They also asked for 1,000 count sheets, white lilies, and white candles in the room,” she said. “Oh that’s — I’m sorry that’s J.Lo’s list of demands. I’m sorry, I got them confused.”

Lou Dobbs, a host on Fox Business who appeared as a guest on “Outnumbered,” mocked the candidates as well.

“I have to say on this one — this was a very big mistake,” he said. “These folks get together for the specific purpose of deflecting the heat onto themselves. This is amateur hour. It is nonsense.”

On Monday night, Fox host Megyn Kelly also mocked the candidates’ demands, joking that they would probably like a foot massage, too.
