Trump Lashes Out At Welker For ‘Nasty’ Interview — Claims She Was Nice To Biden In Interview That Never Happened
President-elect Donald Trump lashed out at Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker during his first interview since the election, calling the NBC News anchor out for what he called “pretty nasty” questions.
As the interview wound down, Trump complained about how the press treated him in the campaign, compared to his political rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. “The press was obviously unfair to me,” he said. “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.”
As he explained why he appeared on Meet the Press, he told Welker, “You’re very hostile,” to which she replied, “Well, hopefully, you thought it was a fair interview. We covered a lot of policy grounds.”
“It’s fair only in that you allowed me to say what I say,” Trump replied.” 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.”
“I’ve never interviewed President Biden,” Welker corrected the President-elect.
“I’m talking metaphorically,” Trump explained before returning to complaining about how he feels poorly treated by the press.
“I’ve seen George Stephanopoulos interview. But it’s and he’s a tough interviewer. It’s the softest interview I’ve seen,” he 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.”
