Uggh. Some of Kristen Welker's Trump interview just shown on Morning Joe (schmoe)... Uggh.

That wide-eyed innocent look she gives him as she softly asks her questions and then immediately assumes witnesses are lying, allowing him to lie repeatedly about Jack Smith and spew his creepy attacks. Sorry, Kristen but that tactic is from another time--decades ago. Her overwhelming credulity along with this stereotypical submissive behavior is sickening to me--just shy of lying down for a belly rub. If she doesn't get a clue (and since she's been doing this for decades), I can only hope she fails massively. Ask David Gregory if your MTP job is secure.

It will become debateable who is the worst moderator from Russert on to the present day.

He would ferociously tear into Democrats. It was over the top and hard to watch.

if she challenges Trump on his lies she will get death threats.

Mitt Romney voted to indict Trump in the Senate trial and since then Romney is spending 5,000 dollars a day for security.

We do not have laws in the US to address domestic terrorism.

debut interview...giving him a stage to spew his vomit with zero pushback is not an interview, it's an infomercial...

For allowing Trump to call our Justice Department called thugs and other names. They killed MTP.

EVEN Chuck Todd would have objected to that interview.. Kristen was so desperate for a promtion she went along.
