Trump tells FCC to punish journalist for calling his election results "mixed"
Trump furious at NBC's Kristen Welker for saying he had mixed results in primary endorsements.
President Donald Trump issued a scathing demand to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reprimand NBC journalist Kristen Welker for her remarks on his election endorsements. Trump alleged that Welker's statement, claiming his endorsement results were "mixed," was a deliberate inaccuracy. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that Welker, known as the "Unpopular Hostess of the once great Meet the Press," would be reported to the FCC for her "purposeful inaccuracy."
He further criticized the "crooked media" for using "fake polls" and urged the FCC to take action. Additionally, Trump directed his ire towards New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman, labeling her as "unattractive both inside and out" and demanding she provide records of her earnings from her reporting on him.
