What Kristen Welker Said That Sent Trump Into a Social Media Rage

NBC News anchor Kristen Welker sent President Donald Trump over the edge with her remarks.

The journalist was promoting Sunday morning’s Meet the Press segment on NBC 4 Washington at 6 a.m. ET when she commented on Trump’s endorsements for GOP primaries and the mixed results he has gotten over the months.

The president didn't seem to appreciate her citing news reports of the same and took to social media to call her out.

While promoting the popular segment, where she interviewed Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Jim Clyburn, Welker said, “He’s going to loom large over these midterms,” referring to the president, per Mediaite.

“There’s no doubt about that. He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries,” she added.

“He’s had some mixed results, but most recently, his pick of Senator Darline Graham, of course, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, was successful in her primary battle, so now she takes on Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina,” she further stated.

While Welker's comments seemed innocuous enough, Trump seemingly took them to heart and lashed out at her via Truth Social.

“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 long term,” the president wrote.

“How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves?” he ranted.

“Results are attached. Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment,” Trump threatened.

“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,” he went on.

“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. 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,” the president boasted.

“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! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he wrote in conclusion.

An NBC News spokesperson later issued a statement to Mediaite, saying, “Kristen is one of the best in the business and we stand by her.”
