President Donald Trump abruptly ended his interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker that aired on Sunday after being pressed on his false claims that the 2020 election had been “rigged,” removing his microphone and leaving the set in a rage.
“You’re a one-sided, crooked network!” Trump shouted at Welker after being told no evidence existed to support his false claims of widespread election fraud. “Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough! Thank you, darling, have a good time!”
Trump then removed what appears to be a microphone clipped on his suit jacket before Welker pleaded with him to finish the interview.
“Mr. President, please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin,” Welker said.
“I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour, on and off in the rain and I’ve given you enough time!” Trump said. “You ought to straighten out your press! Come on, let’s go.”
