Writing on X on Sunday, Anna Gomez, a Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission, said the FCC "has no authority to punish journalists this administration doesn’t like."
US President Donald Trump has launched an attack on NBC journalist Kristen Welker, calling for her to face rebuke or punishment from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Trump made the remarks on his Truth Social platform, objecting to Welker's description of his record of endorsing Republican candidates as producing "mixed results."
Trump claimed his endorsements had achieved a 99% success rate overall, including a 100% success rate for Senate endorsements and a 98% success rate for House endorsements. He cited the victories of Republican candidates as examples of his successful endorsements.
A Democrat on the FCC, Anna Gomez, responded to Trump's call for action against Welker, stating that the FCC has no authority to punish journalists. Welker had described Trump's record of endorsements as having "mixed results," and noted that his pick of a certain Senator was successful in her primary battle.
