Donald Trump cut short his much-anticipated appearance on 'Meet the Press' on Sunday, pulling off his microphone and walking out mid-interview after moderator Kristen Welker repeatedly pushed back on his unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack. The interview, which was recorded during Trump's trip to Wisconsin on Friday, had been heavily promoted ahead of its broadcast.
The breaking point came after a sustained back-and-forth in which Welker pressed Trump for concrete evidence to support several of his claims. Each time she stated there was 'no evidence,' Trump's responses grew more pointed, until he finally declared, 'You're a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time,' before removing his microphone and standing up to leave.
