US President Donald Trump on Sunday (August 30) said in a post on Truth Social that NBC’s Kristen Welker will be reported to the FCC for “rebuke or punishment”, after he said she reported the Republican President had mixed results in his endorsement of candidates.
“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 US Senate, and 98% for the US House, recently and over the longterm,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump added that 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,” the US president said.
Giving examples of Darline Graham and the Governor of Oklahoma, Trump said they were behind in every Poll but ended up winning after his endorsement.
“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,” Trump added.
