President Donald Trump went off on the media on Monday while holding a tarmac press scrum before his campaign rally in Arizona.
In response to Trump deriding Welker as a “radical left Democrat,” her NBC colleague Kelly O’Donnell interjected to defend the moderator of the final presidential debate.
“Not true, that’s not true, Mr. President,” O’Donnell said.
As the scrum continued, a reporter tried to press Trump on his murky Covid-19 testing history since being diagnosed with the virus.
After sneering at the reporter’s “dedication” to the question, Trump moved on without offering a direct answer. After that, he took a question on why his apparent campaign strategy is to label Biden a criminal.
“He is a criminal” Trump answered, referring to the dubiously-sourced New York Post report on the ex-veep’s son, Hunter Biden.
“And you know who’s a criminal here? You’re a criminal for not reporting it,” Trump said — pointing at the reporter who asked the question.
