Republicans and conservatives were left appalled after NBC News picked Kristen Welker and Lester Holt to co-moderate next month’s third Republican primary debate.
The NY Post reports Welker, the moderator of “Meet The Press,” and Holt, the face of “NBC Nightly News,” will be joined by conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt for the Nov. 8 showdown at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami.
Welker, who moderated the second and final debate of the 2020 presidential campaign between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, comes from a family with a long history of donating to Democratic politicians — and was once caught on live TV during the 2016 Democratic nomination battle giving Hillary Clinton’s communications director a heads-up about the questions she planned to ask.
“Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt to moderate third GOP debate – so I don’t understand WHY would Republicans want an entire panel of liberal moderators as if there are no other journalists. Biased questions don’t help voters,” former Maryland lieutenant governor hopeful Gordana Schifanelli said on X Thursday.
“Absolute insanity,” said Tom Bevan, co-founder of RealClearPolitics, of the choice of moderators.
