Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed NBC News host Kristen Welker during an interview on Sunday after she repeatedly tried to get him to referee remarks made by former President Donald Trump.
The interview on the network’s “Meet The Press” was combative from the outset, and included Welker repeatedly asking DeSantis to respond to Trump rather than address issues relevant to the presidential primary.
“Well, I think even beyond that, the issue is — is why are you running?” DeSantis said. “Are you running for your personal issues? Are you running for the American people’s issues? And I’m running for the American people’s issues. And now, part of that is this government is out of control. We have seen weaponization of agencies, like the DOJ, and the FBI and the IRS. I am going to end that weaponization.”
