Megyn Kelly on Trump Walking Out of NBC Interview: ‘I Don’t Blame Him’

Trump accused California officials of cheating and ended the interview after Welker challenged his claims about vote counts and election fraud.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump abruptly ended an NBC News interview with host Kristen Welker in Wisconsin after she pushed back on his claims that the California election was rigged.
  • Trump echoed claims that California officials were "cheating," arguing after four days they "aren't even close" to finishing the count, though a misreading of voting data fueled the false narrative that California Democrats were cheating.
  • First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed the claim was false, stating "each candidate received votes in every update" in all voting data.
  • As he stormed off set, Trump called Welker "crooked" and "stupid," telling her, "You're a one-sided crooked network," before stating, "I've had enough."
  • Commentator Navarro argued on CNN's "NewsNight" that the comments represent a "horrible" pattern of behavior toward women, while Caroline Sunshine disputed these claims.
