President-elect Donald Trump blasted Kristen Welker, the moderator of Meet the Press, during his initial interview following the election. He criticized the anchor of NBC News for asking “pretty nasty” questions.
Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the press’s treatment of him during the campaign, in comparison to his political opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, as the interview concluded.
“The press was obviously unfair to me. The press. No president has ever gotten treated by the press like I was. And yet I got more votes than any Republican candidate in history, by far.” Trump said during the interview.
“You’re very hostile,” Trump told Welker.
“Well, hopefully, you thought it was a fair interview. We covered a lot of policy grounds.” she responded.
“It’s fair only in that you allowed me to say what I say. But you know, the answers to questions are, you know, pretty nasty. But. But look, because I’ve seen you interview other people like Biden.” Trump shot back.
“I’ve never interviewed President Biden,” she replied.
“I’m talking metaphorically,” Trump responded.
“I’ve seen George Stephanopoulos interview. But it’s and he’s a tough interviewer. It’s the softest interview I’ve seen,” Trump said.
“CNN interview. They give these soft. You know, what’s your favorite ice cream? It’s it’s a whole different deal. I don’t understand why. You know, you would think the press would like to see strong borders, great education, a powerful military. So we have a country left and all these different things, and somehow they don’t want to see that.” he concluded.
