President-elect Donald Trump mixed it up with Meet The Press host Kristen Welker over the weekend while discussing the Jan 6 committee and the media’s reporting surrounding the committee’s findings.
“It’s amazing. I wish you could be a, you know, you have such potential,” Trump said. “If you could be just non-biased. You hurt yourself so badly.”
Trump also torched Welker for how he has been treated in the press.
“…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 told Welker.
“The press has to straighten itself out, because honestly it’s lost all credibility. Based on the press I should’ve gotten no votes, none. And yet I got the highest number ever.” He later added, “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.”
Trump continued: “And the reason is because I’m able to go on a show even like yours, even though you’re very hostile, I’m able to go on a show like yours [Welker laughs] — no, you are.”
