Trump Vows to Report NBC's Welker to FCC

President Donald Trump says NBC "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker will be reported to the Federal Communications Commission over her characterization of his midterm endorsement record.

In a Truth Social post on Aug. 30, Trump wrote that Welker "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 U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House."

"Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment," he wrote. "Unfortunately, she is not the only one."

What Trump Said

Trump called Welker the "Unpopular 'Hostess' of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press," and asked, "How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves?"

He accused "the Radical Left News" of going "out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything 'TRUMP,'" and said his endorsement record is "without question, the strongest Endorsement in the History of Politics."

Trump singled out Darline Graham's Senate win, which he said "wasn't expected" and was "hardly covered by anybody" after his endorsement, and said the same happened with the man he endorsed for governor of Oklahoma, who he said was behind in every poll before winning.

He closed by naming the agency's chairman directly: "I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously."
