Donald Trump, who often makes headlines because of his statements, has once again become a topic of discussion. This time, he made a remark about NBC host Kristen Welker that many people did not particularly like. Actress Lisa Rinna was among those who went after the president.
Lisa Rinna reacted after Trump threatened to punish the NBC journalist over her reporting
According to OK Magazine, Donald Trump recently said that Meet the Press host Kristen Welker should face a ‘rebuke or punishment.’ X user Heather Delaney Reese criticized the remark in a post that Lisa Rinna later shared.”
The user wrote, “Fascism spreads by turning our own institutions against us. It happens when a man with the full power of the presidency tells a journalist she will be ‘reported for rebuke or punishment’ because she stated a FACT he did not like, and then warns every other journalist in the country that they could be next.”
The dispute began after Welker said Trump-backed candidates had mixed results in some primary elections.
Trump disputed her statement in a Truth Social post. He said his candidates had a 100% winning record in the Senate and a 98% record in the House.
The situation escalated when Trump said Welker “will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment.” He also urged FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to take the matter seriously.
Lisa Rinna has criticized Donald Trump publicly in the past. However, she also previously worked with him on The Celebrity Apprentice.
In 2011, Trump fired Rinna from the reality competition. Trump hosted the show at the time, while Rinna competed as a contestant. She left in the second week after her team lost a task.
