Spencer Pratt Loses Lead + Trump's 'Meet The Press' Walk Off

What was said

"You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this crap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. But Mr. President, you know why I got that? Because you have no credibility. I've said it before. I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press."

President Trump abruptly ended his Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker after a contentious 40-minute exchange conducted in rainy conditions in Wisconsin. The confrontation centered on Trump's claims about California election fraud, with Welker repeatedly challenging him to provide evidence. Trump called Welker and the network 'crooked' before walking out despite Welker protesting she had traveled from Wisconsin for the interview.
