Trump lashed out at moderator Kristen Welker after she insisted he failed to provide a shred of evidence about his disputed accusations that the 2020 election was \u201cstolen\u201d from him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a one-sided crooked network,\u201d Trump fumed during the interview, which aired Sunday. \u201cLet\u2019s call it quits because I\u2019ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welker pleaded with Trump to continue, recalling how she trekked over to Wisconsin for the interview, but the president was done.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn and off in the rain, and I\u2019ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press,\u201d he added. \u201cA country can never be great with a dishonest press.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

After airing that testy exchange, Welker revealed that she spoke with Trump afterward and he agreed to do a follow-up interview with her.<\/p>\n
