Courtesy of NBC News President Donald Trump suggested referring NBC News anchor Kristen Welker for possible punishment by the Federal Communications Commission after the “Meet the Press” moderator made innocuous remarks about candidates the President has backed in the run-up to the nation’s midterm elections later this year.
Trump’s chilling diatribe, released via Truth Social, appeared to be misinformed. During a local segment in which Welker previewed her program with anchors on NBC’s Washington, D.C. station, WRC, she said that Trump had enjoyed “mixed results,” with some of the Republican candidates he’s backed losing in primaries, but also noted that Trump is “going to loom large over these midterms. There’s no doubt about that.”
