President Donald Trump on Sunday said “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker would be reported to the Federal Communications Commission “for rebuke or punishment” after broadcasting a “purposeful inaccuracy” he believes is a very serious threat to America.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump indicated: “Kristen Welker, the Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has ‘mixed results’ on his Endorsements of Candidates, when the recent WINS of Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei, stand at 100% for the U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House, recently and over the longterm.
“How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves? Results are attached. Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one.
“The Radical Left News is going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything ‘TRUMP.’ Their new weapon is to say that my 99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements, 100% on Senatorial Endorsements (Many of whom were not even given a shot of winning until I Endorsed!), is either a mixed result, or not very good. In actuality, it is, without question, the strongest Endorsement in the History of Politics. If it were not, I would be the first to admit it.
The president continued: “Darline Graham’s run for the Senate was the biggest story in all of Politics, because she wasn’t expected to win, and then, when I Endorsed her, and she easily won, the story of her Victory was hardly covered by anybody.
“Likewise, the future Governor of Oklahoma, who was behind in every Poll, I Endorsed him, he won, and the story was barely covered! The Press is a Disgrace to our Nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter of Fake Polls and Commentary!”
This is not the first time Trump has had a serious problem with Welker.
As WorldNetDaily reported on June 7, the president exploded on the NBC anchor, calling her “crooked” to her face before removing his microphone and storming out of the interview, prompting her to whimper and beg the commander in chief to continue.
Welker was interviewing Trump in Wisconsin on a wide variety of topics, but the discussion turned hostile toward the end on the subject of election integrity, beginning with the presidential election of 2020 won by Joe Biden.
“It was a dirty election and it’s happening right now again in California,” Trump asserted.
“It’s four days [of counting votes],” he said.
Welker interjected: “Republicans are doing well in California.”
“No they’re not. They’re dropping fast because it’s a rigged election. … They’re cheating on the election.
“Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election and five days later they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?”
Welker responded: “State and local officials acknowledge they are slow.”
“No, they’re crooked,” Trump explained. “Just like you’re crooked. Your press is crooked and ‘Meet the Press’ is crooked.”
Welker claimed: “To be fair, I’m not crooked.”
“Really? Well you play right into their hands then,” Trump noted. “You’re either crooked or you’re stupid. You play right into their hands with this crap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they’re rigged.”

The commander in chief did not relent with his attack, saying: “Your elections in this country, we’re like a third-world country. Your elections are crooked, and you’re crooked and ‘Meet the Press’ is crooked and is so is ABC and CBS and CNN. You’re one-sided crooked networks. All right, let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough! Thank you darling, Have a good time!”
Instantly going into whimper-and-beg mode Welker said: “Mr. President, let’s, please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin!”
“I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour,” Trump indicated, “and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press.”
The president then exited the set.
