President Trump clashes with NBC’s Kristen Welker during a heated exchange over California’s election system, culminating in a fiery confrontation and an abrupt end to the interview. (NBC)
In an explosive, must-watch interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, a visibly rattled Kristen Welker attempted to run cover for the notoriously broken, days-long ballot counting process in California. But Trump wasn’t having a single second of it.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Welker traveled to Wisconsin to sit down with President Trump for what was billed as a wide-ranging interview covering, including the war with Iran, gas prices, and the “anti-weaponization” fund.
Toward the end, Trump absolutely went off on the corrupt state of American elections, especially in California. Welker tried desperately to interrupt. But Trump would not let go.
He then blasted her and the rest of the corporate media as crooked for the next few seconds while Welker whimpered.
Then, Trump announced he was ending the interview.
“Let’s call it quits. I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling!” Trump said.
Welker continued to protest before Trump ripped into her again before he finally walked out.
But here’s the exchange that really set Trump off, the exact talking points Kristen Welker was pushing that there’s “no fraud” and “no evidence”:
Trump: There’s tremendous evidence. It’s nothing but evidence.
Welker: But it has not been presented in a court of law.
Trump: The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it’s happening again right now in California.
Welker: Mr. President, you’ve never presented evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.
Trump: Right now in California. Right now, look at what’s happening in California.
Welker: Where’s the evidence to that?
Trump: It’s four days.
Welker: The Republicans are doing well in California.
Trump: No, they’re not. They’re dropping fast because it’s a rigged election. Let me tell you, it’s four days, and they aren’t even close to coming up with the results.
Welker: Because that’s how they count the votes in California.
Trump: You know why they’re doing that? Because they’re cheating in the election.
Welker: Do you have evidence to support that?
Trump: All I have to do is look. All I have to do is look.
Welker: But that’s not evidence.
Trump: And I listen. And I listen to people. Let’s see what happens.
Welker: But, sir, that’s not evidence.
Trump: Do you think it’s appropriate—
Welker: That’s how they count the votes in California.
Trump: Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election and, five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?
Welker: State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They’re urging—
Trump: No, they’re crooked.
Welker: They’re urging the votes to be counted quickly. That’s how they vote in California.
Trump: They’re crooked, just like you’re crooked.
Trump: Your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked.
Welker: To be fair, I’m not crooked. But let’s—
Trump: Really? Well, you play right into their hands, then.
Trump: 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. You know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94% bad press. You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.
