During a 'Meet the Press' interview, Trump supporters criticized NBC's Kristen Welker for using "blatant deceptions."

During her interview with President-elect Donald Trump on "Meet the Press," moderator Kristen Welker faced criticism from conservatives for her performance.

During a comprehensive interview, Trump discussed various topics, including his strategy for restoring the country's global standing, his decision to pardon Jan. 6 rioters, immigration, his dislike for FBI Director Christopher Wray, and his plans to unite a divided nation in his inaugural address. Many Trump supporters were dissatisfied with Welker, including NewsBusters analyst Jorge Bonilla, who felt she was not truthful.

Bonilla wrote that the sit-down with the once and future president hosted by Kristen Welker, who is known for her depression, contained some newsworthy items but was mainly an opportunity for her to showcase her deceptions.

Bonilla accused Welker of spreading a false rumor about migrants taking over apartment complexes in Colorado, making up a fake fact-check based on that lie, and blaming Trump for the divisions in America.

"Will this interview foreshadow the next four years? Probably not. As one presidency ends and another begins, it's reasonable to expect the media to shift from Regime to Resistance. However, today we get a glimpse of a media that persists in pushing false narratives and a President Trump who plows through them," Bonilla wrote.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, criticized NBC News for leaving out a crucial part of the 14th Amendment in a query about birthright citizenship.

Trump confirmed that he plans to end birthright citizenship on Day One, calling it "ridiculous."

Can you circumvent the 14th Amendment's provision that all individuals in the United States are citizens through executive action, as Welker contended?

Trump stated that he was willing to employ executive action and emphasized that the U.S. is the only country with it, while also asserting that it needs to be terminated.

On Sunday, Lee posted a video of the conversation on X and criticized the NBC host for leaving out six essential words from the 14th Amendment in her question to Trump.

"All individuals born in the United States are citizens of the United States," Lee emphasized, underscoring the missing words in asterisks.

"Those words matter," he added.

Lee broke down the issue in a lengthy thread.

"The power to define what it means to be born in the United States 'and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' lies with Congress," he wrote. "I am concerned that @MeetThePress, a highly respected Sunday political news program in America, has become increasingly one-sided."

Journalist Thomas Stevenson mocked Welker on social media.

"Welker tries to practice 'journalism' by compelling Trump to pledge to a federal minimum wage standard," he stated on X.

Trump at one point even called out Welker to her face.

Trump stated, "You possess great potential. However, if you could be impartial, you would do yourself less harm."

Many others took to X with thoughts on the interview:

Yitz Friedman, the communications guru at the American Accountability Foundation, criticized Welker in a lengthy post, stating that he has been hosting "Meet the Press" since last year.

Friedman wrote that Welker's condescending attitude towards Trump was unprofessional and inappropriate. He added that Trump responded by educating her on basic economics.

Trump's explanation of wanting to repeal and replace Obamacare while still making it work for the good of the American people went "over her head" when he made the point, according to Friedman.

"She fails to comprehend it, yet it's amusing to observe," Friedman wrote.

NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
