“It’s four days and they aren’t even close,” Trump told Welker of the pace of vote-counting in the state, adding that the election was “rigged.” Welker then pressed, “Do you have evidence to support that?” to which Trump answered, “All I have to do is look.”
When Welker mentioned what local officials have said about the process, Trump said, “They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. Your press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked.”
Trump continued to attack Welker, saying that she was “either crooked” or “stupid” and that she had no “credibility.” He then broadened the target of his ire to the wider media landscape, slamming other TV networks ABC, CBS, and CNN.
“Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough,” Trump said, ending the interview. “Thank you darling. Have a good time.” On his way out, he appeared to step on the microphone.
