Here’s the Comment from Kristen Welker That Sent Trump Into a Social Media Rage (VIDEO)

President Donald Trump blasted NBC’s Kristen Welker early Sunday morning — but the comment that triggered him actually wasn’t made on Meet the Press.

Welker was appearing on NBC 4 Washington during the 6 a.m. ET hour to promote Sunday morning’s Meet the Press. In her brief comments, Welker — citing NBC News reporting — noted that Trump has taken a few losses in recent GOP primaries.

“He’s going to loom large over these midterms,” Welker said on NBC 4 Washington. “There’s no doubt about that. He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries. He’s had some mixed results, but most recently, his pick of Senator Darline Graham, of course, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, was successful in her primary battle, so now she takes on Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina.”

That remark prompted Trump to rage at Welker on Truth Social.

“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 U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House, recently and over the longterm,” Trump wrote. “How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves? Results are attached. Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.”

In a statement provided to Mediaite, an NBC News spokesperson said, “Kristen is one of the best in the business and we stand by her.”
