Donald Trump ends tense 'Meet the Press' interview, walks away from host
President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" and walked away after moderator Kristen Welker challenged him about unsubstantiated claims of "cheating" in the California primary elections.
After Welker noted that "Republicans are doing well in California" following the June 2 primary contests, Trump said "they're dropping fast because it's a rigged election," which led to a tense back-and-forth in the interview that aired June 7.
As Welker and Trump discussed the California races, including the vote-tallying process, Welker noted "that's how they count the votes in California." Trump responded, asking, "Do you know why they're doing that? Because they're cheating on the election."
Welker then asked Trump if he had evidence to support his claims, and the president responded that "all I have to do is look" and "I listen to people." The NBC anchor again asked for evidence of election fraud and repeated that the typical dayslong process is "how they count the votes in California."
Trump told Welker that "they're crooked just like you're crooked, your press is crooked and 'Meet the Press' is crooked." Welker denied the accusations, and Trump said her questions played into "their hands."currently.att.yahoo.com - Donald trump ends tense meetAs suggested before, his lousy poll number and the roaring distaste for his made up wars, would only matter if there are "free and fair" elections in November. Given that the last vote in Wayne County, MI, where I live, is "under investigation" the chances of my vote not being counted this November is non-zero. Same for everyone in Fulton County, GA, with is also heavily Dem, and being "investigated". Trump is expert at keeping things tied up in litigation for years.
