Trump claims NBC News correspondent 'cannot be neutral'
President Trump said he is ready for Thursday's debate against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, but claimed that it will not be fair because the moderator, NBC's Kristen Welker, will be biased against him.
Trump said in a "Fox & Friends" interview Tuesday that he wished there would be a neutral party moderating the debate.
“Kristen Welker is terrible," Trump said. "I mean she is totally partisan; her father and mother are big supporters of Joe Biden for a long time. They're supporters of the Democrat Party, and she deleted her entire account."
Welker's Twitter account was deactivated earlier this month, hours after C-SPAN host Steve Scully's account was deleted. Scully, who had been scheduled to moderate an October 15 debate that was canceled, had claimed that his account was hacked after a tweet showing him reaching out to Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci went viral. C-SPAN suspended Scully indefinitely after he admitted that he had not been hacked.
“Kristen Welker is far worse than Scully, but I do it anyway," Trump continued. "But this is the way it is. It's so set up."
