Donald Trump accepted an interview request from NBC “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, and once again she incessantly interrupted and “fact checked” the president-elect. Jorge Bonilla reviews all that was asked and answered.

He summed up: “Welker’s sit-down with the once and future president featured some newsworthy items, but was mostly a showcase for her blatant deceptions,” especially on immigration.

Welker tried to “fact check” the idea that gangs took over apartment complexes in Colorado. Everything negative about illegal immigrants is defined as “not news” or “misinformation.”

The Catholic League pointed out today: “In the last year, a total of 158 Congressmen voted not to deport migrants convicted of sex crimes, and 140 of them were reelected in November. Every one of them were Democrats.” The Democrats in the media have no interest in underlining this positioning.

Right from the top, Welker announced what NBC thinks are the main issues, starting with “retribution” and pardoning the January 6 defendants and forcing Trump to admit he lost in 2020. Funny that he didn’t recall his Truth Social post of 2023 talking up the idea of  a special counsel for Joe Biden. That was a Tim Russert moment of sorts. But it misses the obvious point that Biden’s team appointed a special counsel on Trump. 

It was interesting that the NBC-assembled panelists afterward noticed that Trump’s tone was soft and that he came across as a little bit fluid on policy, like on the idea of limiting abortion pills. He ends up more moderate on abortion than the Democrats, who want nationwide abortion on demand.

But the silliest Welker attack is the suggestion that Trump is uniquely “dividing” the country, as if the media and the Biden team aren’t doing and saying very divisive things, like suggesting Trump was going to “end” democracy we know it. We have a “divide and conquer” media, but they’re failing to conquer. They’re just dividing.
