Stephanie Ruhle is super excited for Kristen Welker to take over 'Meet the Press' today:
Today is the day. Beyond proud of @kwelkernbc as she leads the @MeetThePress team - cannot express how amazing you are going to be taking on this new role. pic.twitter.com/HPsiTHJ67I

And apparently, Welker interviewed Trump ... and dared call him Mr. President.

And let the screeching, shrieking, caterwauling, frothing, and melting down COMMENCE.
First up, Aaron Rupar who tweeted the whole damn thing because clearly he has nothing better to do:
is it Trump's first network interview "since leaving office," or since he violently tried to overthrow the government? pic.twitter.com/XZL9R3rPFo

note the complete lack of pushback here from Kristen Welker when Trump claims, without a shred of evidence, that Biden directed the federal indictments against him pic.twitter.com/sR45e2esjp

She's actually giving Trump time to answer her questions.
The horror.

Someone MIGHT wanna check on Aaron, he seems upset.

Steamrolling.
Riiiight.
@kwelkernbc is demonstrating she’s as bad if not worse than @chucktodd—who also was weak and pathetic in his interviews of Trump.
— 🌻Rhona Applebaum (@RhonaA_PhD) September 17, 2023
And to think I was hopeful she’d give me a reason to return to @MeetThePress—Wrong!!
Reason number 9,556,665 that I STILL won't watch @MeetThePress
— Heather 🌻🇺🇦 (@Toucherette) September 17, 2023
Always the same damn emojis.
Always.
How is she more terrible than Chuck Todd
— Jeremy (@_JeremyWrites) September 17, 2023
Kind of knew her big ratings grab right out of the gate was going to backfire on her. Didn’t watch and hope many others didn’t either.

Tough crowd.
Good luck with them.
