sought out for a story, published in June, to uncover what life is like for reporters amid a fight for racial equality and a global pandemic,.

Welker's mother is Black, and her father is white, so "growing up as a biracial child, the idea of helping people of different races and backgrounds better communicate inspired me to become a journalist," she told the magazine."With protesters demanding change after George Floyd’s death, it is more important than ever that everyone has a voice and elected leaders from the White House to City Hall are held accountable for their words and actions, or lack thereof.

" for a Mother's Day piece published on Maria Shriver's website. She describes her mom, Juliet Welker, as"my biggest supporter, my best friend, and my greatest inspiration."

La copine de Trump 👎🏻

IT’S TIME TO DISQUALIFY TRUMP FROM THE ELECTION HE HAS RUSSIA AND IRAN CHEAT YET AGAIN INTERFERING IN OUT ELECTION!!! DISQUALIFY TRUMP NOW!!

My suggestion for Trump would be to ignore Kristen Welker's inane questions and speak to the people

As a senator, Kamala Harris has advocated for healthcare reform, federal descheduling of cannabis, a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, the DREAM Act, a ban on assault weapons, and progressive tax reform. FACTS!!

I can see already she is going to be a problem

Waste of time

She ready!

How do trump supporters explain how almost every legit new stations are against him? Is it because he has called him out for the last 4 years for his lies?

imagine watching a football game, knowing the referee is trying to be named MVP.

Go Kristen, bury Trump.

I don't trust her. She will not ask the tough questions. She not be able to control Trump. Who picks these moderators? You want to know who should do this debate? Earl Strom, a previous NBA official. Or any sports official. Sports officials don't put up with bs. I used to be one.

How can she be the moderator she is a left wing activist?

Deleted her Twitter to scrub anti trump tweets....debate commissioners took foreign policy out....wonder why

Where is the Hunter Biden story on your page?

She is the Boss of that 90 minutes. She will handle the rude senators. As at the town hall meeting Savanna did. Girls strong strong yet impartiality. We want women to rule one day USA.

Easy fix, mic off.

Biased

Take it easy on potus. he may wet his diaper

So its 2 against 1....

Only thing you need to know about the Moderator!

is she black, white or high yellow?

Why would she want to do this?

Good luck to her.

Of all the journalists on MSNBC, she has always appeared to be non-biased, to a fault at times.

That's because she's a liberal

Yeah cause the whole dam moderators have been painfully biased against our President....shameful maga

Of course , Trump can’t deal with women with brains...and he has absolutely nothing of substance to say...if he can’t bully

She’s another liberal hack 🙄

God bless her. I will not watch. VOTING BIDEN !!

She is a democrat. No fairness in these debates.

Cuz Sleepy Joe amirite?

Unfortunately, I think Trump is going to chew her up and spit her out. She asks some pretty lame questions during press opportunities.

So much for not making the story about yourself. This is awful journalism by Welker

🤔

Hit the mute button!

Do not back down stay Strong !! You got this!!!

Will he be tested for COVID?

You remember the time she was caught on a hot mic telling the Clinton camp what questions were coming? I remember.

Candy Crowley, Chris Wallace, Steve Scully, George Stephanopoulos, Savannah Guthrie, See the pattern? Is Kristen Welker next on the list trying to please her colleagues and peers among the NYC/DC/ATL bubble-dwellers rather than fulfill the solemn duty of the free-press?

Trump is always spoiling for a fight. Serious people should ignore him. “Trump Loves a Fight; Cuomo Should Not Take the Bait”

I wonder why?
