– he said.
There is enormous evidence. There is nothing but evidence
– added the US president.
Furious, Donald Trump interrupted the interview. It was about “rigged elections”
Kristen Welker replied to the president that “no evidence was presented in court.” After a while, Donald Trump claimed that the 2020 election was fraudulent, something he has said many times before.
The US president also mentioned the primary elections in California, which took place on Tuesday, June 2. They concern, among others: race for state governor and mayor of Los Angeles. It's still unclear who won as the votes are still being counted. Donald Trump said that Republicans are “fast losing support because this is a rigged election.” The host of the program asked what evidence the president had to support his claims about “fraud”.
They are dishonest, just like you are dishonest, your station is dishonest. And “Meet the Press” is dishonest too
replied Donald Trump.
Kristen Welker replied to the president that he was wrong, after a while adding that the president should continue his statement. Donald Trump accused the host of the program of “playing into the hands” of Democrats.
This way you play into their hands. You know this election is rigged. Your station knows they are fake
— said the US president, then said that Kristen Welker's station is “biased and dishonest.”
Sorry. Let's end this because I've had enough
– added Donald Trump.
Kristen Welker asked the president to continue the conversation with her because she had come from far away to attend. However, Donald Trump was adamant.
You should clean up your station because guess what? A country will never be great if it has a dishonest media
– said Donald Trump at the end.
After the interview aired, Kristen Welker said that she spoke again with Donald Trump, who agreed to another interview with her. However, it is not known when and where it will take place.
