NBC's Kristen Welker normalized Trump's attacks on judges and their families on Meet The Press.
Welker said in his opening remarks.
Meanwhile, this week, the former president stepped up his attacks on the judge and his family in the New York money laundering case, after that judge granted Mr. Trump partial custody less than three weeks after that trial began on April 15. . And now Trump is insisting that none of the trials should “happen during my campaign,” calling the sham trial “election interference.” It is yet another reminder that we are covering this election against the backdrop of a deeply divided nation.

This is what Kristen Welker's makeup looks like as the corporate media tries to normalize Donald Trump's efforts to subvert democracy and destroy the rule of law and the judiciary in the United States.
Attacks on judges and their families are not evidence of a divided country. They are symptomatic of an autocrat who is trying to get back into power and destroy any watchdog that might hold him accountable.
The corporate media continues to side with the candidate who wants to overthrow the US system of government.
It would go a long way toward protecting democracy if people like Kristen Welker and Meet The Press didn't regulate Trump's behavior as part of the presidential campaign.
Corporate media is failing America by appeasing a dictator.
