Kristen Welker reports from Mar-a-Lago (MSNBC/screen grab)
NBC's Kristen Welker felt the wrath of the Twitter on Wednesday after she referred to Mar-a-Lago as the "Winter White House."
During a report on MSNBC, host Chris Jansing pointed out that Welker was not reporting from the actual White House because Trump had traveled to his Florida resort for the Thanksgiving holiday.
"I am at the Winter White House," Welker said, laughing as she corrected Jansing.
The statement did not go over well on Twitter, where commenters accused Welker of "normalizing" Trump's branding of Mar-a-Lago.
