President Donald Trump threatened NBC’s broadcast license days after the network aired an interview with Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).
“Raphael Warnock was on Meet the Fake Press with a one sided and very biased Kristen Welker as the Host(ess!)” Trump ranted on Wednesday. “Warnock spent the entire show using Religion to try and divide the Country! If a Republican, in particular ME, made those statements, it would be FRONT PAGE NEWS.”
“He ended by saying that he was going to his Church to preach now, and while I think that’s fine, I do say, ‘What ever happened to separation of Church and State?’ That would be the first thing they would use against us but, actually, it’s something that never much bothered me,” he continued. “Anyway, Warnock is a LIGHTWEIGHT whose wife correctly states that he tried to run her over with a car. Fortunately, she was able to get out of the way, and only almost lost her foot. Warnock is a bad guy, and NBC News, which is second only to ABC Fake News for being the worst, should be ashamed of themselves in allowing garbage “interviews” with untalented and uncaring people to take place.”
Trump then suggested that the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, should investigate NBC.
“The Public airwaves, which these Networks are using at no charge, should not be allowed to get away with this any longer!” he wrote. “They should be properly licensed, and pay significant amounts of money for using this very valuable Public space.”
The president’s remarks came just hours after FCC Chair Brendan Carr told a Senate committee that he had the power to shut down broadcast networks for satirical speech.
