@meetthepress.com should release @kristenwelker.bsky.social from her job.
@meetthepress.com should release @kristenwelker.bsky.social from her job.
Ken Paxton claimed primary on all 3 of his homes. Thats mortgage fraud. Trump guilty of bank loan fraud. Innocent until proven guilty. Republicans want to smear everyone but not give them a day in court.
Let me fix it “ Should trump release the files to dispute all the allegations?”
Lisa Cook should NOT release her documents. Stop asking.
Trump won't release the Epstein files, spent years refusing to release tax returns, covers up his health records, hides documents in his bathroom - but random officials have to make all their information public because of his self serving allegations? What a stupid demand.
Cook should stay cool And tell Them all to Prove her wrongdoing!
Was Lisa Cook on Epstein Island?
She is a worthy successor to Chuck Todd.
Kristen Welker cheated on her taxes for the last 10 years. There the rumor is started now show us all your taxes Welker.
Why should she have to release her mortgage documents? Also, who actually keeps copies of their mortgage documents? The Government is making accusations, if Cook did anything wrong, its the Governments job to prove it in a court of law!
I say she releases her mortgage documents, after Trump releases his Tax returns and the Epstein Files!
...and his medical record. If he's on the way out Salmon style, The People have a right to know.
does she just not get that it isn't about the mortgages jfc
And BTW Obama should release those birth certificates, Kristen. We still want to see them! 😅😅
Release the Epstein files.
When Trump releases his tax returns. Sure.
So, she's a protégé of Chuck Todd?
Why should Cook have to release them. # #PresidentTaco claims all those records are public. Was #PresidentTaco lying when he made those claims?
Like Martha Raditz, she needs to STFU. Sick of women in media who act like the Jake Tappers.
Welker is an attack dog for the administration…
1/2: No, Ms. Welker, Lisa Cook should NOT just release her mortgage documents. Ms. Welker this would start a dangerous precedent and support Trump's WRONG belief that he's entitled to do and have anything. He wants people to value comfort over freedom.
2/2: Releasing her docs may make YOU feel comfy but it takes away OUR personal freedom. If she capitulated, like law firms, universities, legacy media, Congress, etc she's encouraging him to come after everyone else. If those entities hadn't capitulated we'd have less fear & more rights
Does anyone ask real questions on TV now?
Hahah they really do go for the throat on Dems, meanwhile she softballs literal invasion into US cities by the military
we’re still waiting on Trump’s tax returns from his first term.
Why are these shows still on?! Why do we have to suffer every Sunday with the latest example of how stupid they are? Why don't we just not turn them on next week and not post pieces about them?
Taking this moment to remind people that Trump should release all of the Epstein Documents by Executive Order, if another official must release documents for a significantly lesser crime.
Absolutely every single person should be transparent...oh...but we have a president that's exactly the opposite!
We have a convicted felon as president and he's busy firing everybody else. WTAF is wrong with this country?
How about you release all your financial documents Kristen? Just to make sure you're not doing anything wrong
So the burden is on everyone to disprove unfounded accusations? Not how it works Welker.
Ya know usually when someone makes an allegation the burden of proof is on them.
Right after the President shows his taxes like he said he would.
maybe Kristen Walker should release her diary to disprove whatever I claim it says
She will release the documents as soon as Donnie releases his tax returns and all his loan documents. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Kristen Welker, as I have noted many a time, is Chuck Todd 2.0. EOS. Sad.
Is there a clip where she asks any republican the same about the Epstein files? WTAF are they trying to do to democracy?
Right? It looks to me like they’re only in it for ratings and the paycheck.
We’ve seen this tactic before and Welker is good at it, which makes her a really bad TV personality.
This is the weak shit that continues to plague Democrats. Why should this Black woman have to release her mortgage info to keep her job.
The answer should have been NO!
Also birth certificate?
He's terrible at this -- just say no, she shouldn't have to! WTF is his problem? She doesn't have to be "transparent" -- she already denied the GD allegations. Fuck Trump Let that fucking asshole be transparent about being Epstein's friend and release the Epstein files!
Why should she? Hey Kristin... Maybe Trump should release the Epstein files. How about that.
she’s back in her repub ally mode
Welker so bad at her job. How is that the story? It’s not.
I always feel like Democrats are put on the defensive on the Sunday shows. I want them to push back on this.
No more Sunday TV for U...
Uh…first there needs to be a definitive set of charges enumerating the alleged violations. You don’t get to make spurious claims without some hard evidence. He has none, and the burden of proof is on him, not the defendant!
When Krasnov releases his tax returns
I wouldn’t release anything until we’re in a court! F them! 🤬
sort of like Trump's health records or does she mean like the Epstein stuff?
Thank you for what you do. Haven't watched a Sunday news show since her ass kissing Trump interview and the rest of the complicit media all in on this disaster.
Welker, that is stupid question you are asking. Obama releasing his birth certificate document did it stop birtherism??? 😂😂😂 NO List Cook releasing her mortgage document will not change Trump's conspiracy.
Why say many words when few do trick! “Sure she should. She can cc her documents as soon as Trump releases the Epstein files.” Is this that hard for them?
Corporate media once again helping Trump by making the false claim of “mortgage fraud” the main issue instead of the blatant disregard of our laws and constitution by a fascist regime.
That is malpractice in journalism. Kristen Welker and everyone else in the world knows full well that this has nothing to do with an old mortgage application. Asking such an insane question is just currying favor with Donald Trump.
Ukraine says don’t trust America
Here’s a question she should have asked: How is RFKjr following the science by firing many of the world’s leading researchers/scientists & installing his cronies who reinforce his personal opinions?
Sure, just feed the trolls, that's always a perfect way to solve a problem.
No. She hasn't been charged with anything.
I don't watch her.
Welker clearly doesn’t understand how things work. Lisa Cook is under no obligation whatsoever to release personal financial information of this nature. The burden of proof is on Trump’s goon squad.
Welker understands perfectly, & she’s playing her role of pushing MAGA propaganda.
@kristenwelker.bsky.social @meetthepress.com Hard to fathom that your producer wasn't whispering in your ear that Ms. Cook is represented by Abbe Lowell, not Ro Khanna. Hard to keep cutting you slack. Prepare more, wave arms less.
Welker has been terrible this entire year just sanewashing maga. What a joke.
Been doing it for quite a while, they gave ther MTP for that reason.
She was much better covering the White House.
I've been disappointed in so many newspeople the past 4 years it's just nuts.
Was she? Or did she just play the game then too?
Should have responded, “since I have no information on about this allegation, Kristen shouldn’t you be asking questions daily when will 47 releases his taxes and the complete set of the Epstein Files and the Epstein List that was sitting on Bondi’s desk that they promised”
Cook has not been charged with any crime. This is a slide further into fascism. Dictator makes unsubstantiated allegations & anyone can be fired? What utter bullshit!
She has been accused of wrongdoing and those doing so have offered no proof nor have they officially charged her with any crime. It is up to them to prove guilt. This is exactly how the media helps the corrupt messaging of Trump. Why hasn’t Trump released his tax returns? The full Epstein files?
Sure, Kristen. Right after Trump and Bondi release the Epstein files
Very disappointed
Welker should be fire immediately for not understanding the way the American legal system works. The burden of proof is on the accuser. Innocent until proven guilty.
Boycott legacy media The power of the people: BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
See the difference between how she interviews and interacts with Dems compared to Republicans
Does she have the long form mortgage documents?
Maybe Trump should release all his loan documents from the 1990s-2000s. We have it on good authority that they're interesting.
Fucking miserable excuse for journalism Fuck NBC They're the fuckers who normalized a fucking bankrupt child fucker in the first place
Trumps taxes.... and all that
His health. The Epstein Files.
My response would be as long as every member of Congress does also.
From the Chuck Knodd school of both sides
Let’s have a look at all of Welker’s mortgage documents.
Ask trump about that bruise
Cool. Now do the Epstein files.
That was a ridiculous question. Would ANYONE in her situation just release documents publicly as her lawyers are prepping to sue? #Epstein
Release the Epstein Files first…
Maybe Ro Khanna should release all of his mortgage docs to prove his innocence too?
Democrats: hard questions l, I'll follow up too. Republicans: do your shit show, I'll get out of the way
Maybe she should at a presser and ask when Trump is going to release his taxes. You know, you showcyours and I'll show mine.
“Just release” the Trmpstein files, come on media, do your job!!!
She’s in way over her head. She needs to be fired.
As long as Trump releases his tax returns for 10 years.
Let's ask Ken Paxton to release his 3 mortgage statements.
Why the hell does she keep repeating her question?
Think about it for a minute: they sat around in an editorial meeting and thought about this question. This is why we don't watch.
Do you think Trump should just release the Epstein files to put the allegations against him and his cover-up to rest Kristen? @kristenwelker.bsky.social
Let's have felon 47 release his health record and income taxes!
Im looking forward to meeting Ro Khanna today here in NH. 2028 is here.
Maybe Trump should just release the Epstein files, Kristen
He was probably distracted thinking about his next stock trading…. Ro is one of, if not the most prolific traders in congress. Ya, I’ve got a problem with that.
GTFOH Kristen Welker. WTF???
Substitute “birth certificate” for “mortgage documents” and it becomes clearer what we’re dealing with.
Sounds to me like Obama being asked to provide his birth certificate. They continue to both side’s stories, and this is why people have left corporate media in droves.
Ken Paxton, Texas AG and Senate candidate listed 3 residences as his main home!!!!
She did more pushback here than in her interview with a Russian War criminal last week. FFS some of these jounalists and news people are just pitiful and we should all stop watching entirely. This has become more about spectacle and showmanship than actual real journalism..
Maybe bondi should release the #epstein files for a similar reason. bsky.app/profile/mjfr...
Welker is a hack. She, Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, and on and on, have no idea of what journalism is. They are tv "personalities" and add nothing.
yet devoid of personality
Burden of proof is on the accuser. But, this is proof that media cares more about making good people defend facts than bad people proved misinformation
Welker is pathetic, why not ask the Administration to produce their evidence instead?
That’s not how “burden of proof” works. Jesus Christ, @nbcnews.com . Hire people with some sense of expertise.
Welker is an abomination…. A deeply unqualified and fundamentally unserious person.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China. She shouldn’t have to release anything.
She's a really bad interviewer
In that same vein, why don’t they just release the full Epstein files to dispute the allegations against T?
We're still waiting for Trump's tax returns!
Why are they talking about any of this shit? The only question the media should be asking anybody right now is where the fuck is tRump and is he dying? That stupid little video of him walking towards a car doesn’t prove shit.
Welker is a corp fascist tool.
It's not the job of the accused to prove her innocence, it is the job of the prosecution. In the pre WW1 Empires in Eastern Europe your guilt or innocence did not matter, the process itself was the punishment for non-crimes and a warning to others.
Why does everyone have to release documents except Trump. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/trum...
Gah! Asking that is bullshit & she knows it. If everyone accused her of being a tax cheat, would she be like, “I need to release my tax documents” or would she say “what proof do you have that I’m a tax cheat?”
We are still waiting on Trump to release about 50 of the things he said he would release. Screw Trump.
My new station will repeatedly let Trump lie on camera unchallenged, but require the person he’s attacking to disprove his blatant lies. This is why America has turned the TV off.
Mfer wouldn’t release his tax returns and now you’re siding with him to make someone release documents because he thinks something is nefarious. Welker is a pos.
Facts!
And release the Epstein files!!
At this point, I want a collection of the Actors who organized and enacted the Cover-Up as well. They are complicit at the very least. I don't mean fuckin' Obama, or Biden. I mean the whole Trump MAGA-GOP Admin
AND Every Current Active member of ICE nationwide, and their affiliates helping Rendition people
His tax info, yes. That was the first thing that came to my mind, too. These interviews are all such trash.
Oh FFS - the issue is not the mortgage documents: it’s the definition of “cause” - a legal question - and whether Trump can just assert he has cause or not - also a legal question. The legal standard is then applied to the facts. I fear Welker is being deliberately disingenuous.
Same old kristen (trumper) welker Keep in mind she went to FL to sit in on T campaign meeting.
It’s not about her personal mortgage documents. I am scrolling rather than watching this drivel.
WTF does TechBro Khanna have to do with Lisa Cook?
How about they go to court with the evidence? Welker sucks.
1) Welker should go after repugs as hard as she goes after dems. 2) Cook should not release her financial docs, full of personal into. 3) invite Paxton on to defend his mortgage shenanigans 4) invite repugs and actually push back on their nonsense 5) stop being complicit in the fascist take over
While it's not their job, I do believe those being interviewed need to push back more forcefully. iq47 insults them, threatens them mercilessly and they lap it up and come back for more. A little less polite and a bit more condescension are in order.
They're learning, albeit all to slowly!
Our exchange inspired me. bsky.app/profile/beeg...
Trump didn't release his tax documents. So, no.
And how about if Lisa Cook stops being black? These are not serious journalists.
The legacy media has failed America. Let’s go @meidastouch.com @adammockler.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social @ponderingpolitics.bsky.social @legalafmtn.bsky.social @democracydocket.com @jimacosta.bsky.social @thejoyreidshow.bsky.social
www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/u...
Welker is like the substitute teacher who is easy to talk down after you did something bad and don't want to get into trouble. She's too soft to be interviewing fascists like JD "Just Dance" Vance.
She should say, "I'd love to but they're under audit"
This both-sides bullshit is the reason why the media have lost credibility. Why should she release her mortgage document? Even if she does that, will it stop Trump from illegally trying to remove her? They want to play both sides even when the other side is lawless and disingenuous.
By continuing to ask the wrong questions, #mtp and the #msm continue to fail the American public. No one is smarter for watching this.
Ro Khanna is a fucking dick bag. Burden of proof is the accuser jack ass. Please just do not be a Democrat anymore. He better get those 6 signatures for the Epstein files.
Ro Khana is a moron. “She has lawyers to help her make those decisions and I will leave it to them to decide how to defend these allegations.” That’s all that he should have said
Just release the Epstein Files.
Now do the Epstein files.
Just like Trump released his tax records, right? CBS was threatened by him - looks like they are kissing his ring now.
at the same time as ken paxton of texas
Kristen Welker is a fucking harpy.
Shitty at debates too. Failed to ask the hard questions. Barbara Walter’s was never scared of the orange man.
I stopped watching @meetthepress.com years ago. Why are all so called journalists kissing the orange ass?
You’re being polite.
Why do I all of a sudden miss Chuck Todd?
I know just when you think you hit rock bottom, you haven't.
He was a gummy bear of a human. He’d be just as 100% useless in this moment.
How about release the Epstein files?
I'll release the mortgage documents when you release the Epstein files.... never play defense. That's the lesson with these clownpricks.
This is nuts. After Trump releases all his mortgage documents, other people can release theirs. I don't think anybody ever committed more mortgage fraud than Trump, ever.
How about we have all elected and appointed government officials release their mortgage statements and taxes? Not just targets of psycho boy?
Who btw, never did release all his taxes.
Hey Kristen…
Working really hard to make us all miss Chuck Todd.
Why the fuck do these jack asses keep appeasing the child fucker. Such a stupid thing to keep asking. Why isn't she asking Republicans why they support a man that fucked little girls and little boys.
So, guilty until proven innocent, little Kristie?
Yes, she might should release documents- In Court where she is suing the regime.
Presumption of innocence is only something accusers can have. The accused don’t get it, apparently.
Ain’t nobody demanding a release of “The Cook Files.”
Someone should check out Ken paxtons ( AG for Texas) mortgages in texas. Something very wrong is going on there
Wow. Be best, Kristen Welker!
Why should she? And anyway, these documents, whatever is in them, are not 'cause'. 'Cause' relates to something done in her official capacity, and nobody has suggested anything here.
This very much feels like advocacy for this invasion of privacy. Why does Welker think this is appropriate? Should we start a campaign to force HER to turn over all of her loan documents, all of her payroll expense account statements, all of her political contributions, all of her investments?
Not a fan of Welker. Rarely watch MTP mostly because of her. MTP would do better having a tough investigative journalist hosting the show. Hardball questions needed for this time.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES AND MAYBE WE CAN MOVE ON FROM THIS REGIME BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
Should they just release the Epstein documents to dispute the allegations against the decaying bloated orange?
The court of public opinion, deserves no documents, other than Court filings. Innocent until Proven guilty. Not presumed guilty, because trumplethinskin wants lower interest rates
MSM wants us to go back to 2010 so bad
Kristen Welker is bad at her job. It took decades to get a female host of MTP and she is awful.
Maybe Trump should release the Epstein files to dispute the allegations against him.....
The day after the Trump files are released in full and unredacted. 🤨 Take several seats, Welker.
I hate this bish! 😡 She is just SO bad at her job.
American media love to try people in the court of public opinion. I am sure Ms Cook is saving her evidence for the actual court appearance.
There haven't been charges it's just an accusation, so she should resign on an accusation?
I wish they had as much pushback on the guests who were pushing propaganda
Why ms. Welker,stfu!Why would she be asking questions so stupid. Why didn't you ask trump about epstein files when you interviewed him so many times.Why not just release the epstein files if you have nothing to hide?And repeatedly asking him that, every chance you get Double standard,dont you think?
Things I haven’t seen this weekend: 1. The POTUS 2. The Epstein Files
Welker go after republicans like this or just suck them off.
Good for you for getting as far into MTP as you did. I turned off Kristen Welker (for good) during the Lankford interview when she failed to follow up on his false crime rate stats. No homework or curiosity makes for bad interviews.
She should release her financial documents to the world? I think Kristen is once again missing the point.
Yes, right after Trump releases the Epstein files.
Should trump release the Epstein files to dispute the allegations he raped children … I’m sorry, it’s not the republican talking point that msm loves.
Why doesn't kristen release her mortgage documents? She must be hiding something
Let me remind @kristenwelker.bsky.social of a little thing called the Epstein files. I know that was, gosh, days and days ago. But it's kinda important, don't you think? Maybe concentrate on whether the fucking president is a pedophile and put his petty political vendettas on the back burner.
We can look into Ms. Moore's mortgage files after the Epstein files have been released. Welker is falling for the scam.
It’s not on citizens to prove they’re innocent. It’s on the government to prove their claims of guilt. Forgetting that is ceding power to the government that they should never have.
WTAF. The media just buys into this shit unquestioningly. They should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, I know they're not, but they should be.
I quit watching this show when Chuck Todd was the host. I didn't think it could get any worse until Kristen Welker took over the seat. I gave it another try and then quit again when I saw it was just a GOP free for all BS fest with barely any pushback.
Why do they keep doing this? Everybody else as to prove themselves. Harris needs to explain herself policy better, Democratic party need to boost voters confidence by explaining this and that. On the other hand... "Well that's just the way he talks."
Because all the major news organizations are owned by billionaires and all of the major podcasters are funded by billionaires. Obama and Sanders sufficiently scared the elites and they know if they don’t move to an authoritarian system massive redistribution is coming.
They don’t really even try to hide that there are two sets of standards now. Democrats are still bound to the old rules and Republicans can more or less do what they want with no pushback.
Shortcomings of capitalism!
I could be going nuts but he said no she shouldn’t then was asked again then he said yes she should ?
She should release her mortgage docs… as soon as the Epstein List is released
"Innocent until proven guilty" becomes "Guilty until you prove your own innocence, but we're still suspicious" under authoritarian dictators.
False both-sider-ism in the best, Press the Meat tradition. Chuck Todd is beaming with joy.
Has Trump released his tax returns and documents for his real estate deals (scams) over the decades?
Today's birtherism...
Kristen Welker is performing some kind of cheap unrehearsed theater on @meetthepress.com. The odd ill timed infections in her voice, talking in slow motion, the exuberance, never mind the quality of her qs, and of course her panel .. may Tim Russert’s soul rest in peace ..
Has Trump released his taxes? Is anyone asking? Or cares enough to ask?
I bet she was in the “Obama should just release his birth certificate to dispute those claims against him” camp.
Fuck that… why is it that every democrat has to show their records but republicans can keep everything hiding. The hypocrisy is constant
They need to shitcan her like they did with Chuck Todd. This is disgraceful.
How many times has she asked for Donald Trump to release his tax returns? . How hard has she pressed for transparency from Donald Trump and his BFF when it came to releasing the files involving the raping of children? Transparency?
Where have all the REAL journalists gone?
Under her theory, every accusation requires the accused to prove it is false rather than the accusers to prove the accusation is true. WTF. I guess she never heard of innocent until PROVEN guilty.
Kristen should release documentation to prove that she is an actual journalist rather than a brainless idiot.
Have them look at Ken paxtons mortgage documents. What’s good for one is good for all
Kristen next week: Did Obama release the Birth Certificate?
Of course she does. +As Scamalot Trumpistan prepares for his war.
Another trump-hoax-on-the-media via accusations toward an another accomplished woman becomes the MSM top story..!!!
So…guilty until proven innocent? Un-American 🐂 💩.
Are we really that small minded we can’t see the big picture of authoritarianism??? Come on Kristin ??!!!!!!
She should when the Epstein files are released ( fully) .
Or, y'know, the administration could "just release" the Epstein files. Let's release errbody's files! Fck privacy, knowmsayn?
Maybe they should release the Epstein files first.
What about Ken Paxton?
