President Trump walked out on an interview with NBC's Meet the Press after a tense exchange with host Kristen Welker.
Trump and Welker argued about his claims the 2020 election was rigged, and about Trump's proposed $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund' that would have paid Jan. 6 rioters.
Trump told Welker “Your elections are crooked and you’re crooked and Meet the Press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN... You’re one-sided crooked networks."
Before walking off set, he said “I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what, a country can never be great with a dishonest press.”
After the segment aired, Welker said both she and Trump acknowledged that the interview, which took place in Wisconsin, was affected by rain and said the president had agreed to sit down for another Meet the Press interview.
