Kristen Welker, upcoming presidential debate moderator, has deep Democrat ties

Welker comes from an established Democratic family — who have poured cash into party coffers, and to Trump opponents, for years.
Her mother, Julie Welker, a prominent real estate broker in Philadelphia, and father, Harvey Welker, a consulting engineer, have donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and close to $20,000 to Barack Obama alone.
There was also $3,300 for Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and $2,100 for Hillary Clinton’s doomed 2016 presidential effort against Trump. Another $7,300 was contributed to the Democratic National Committee between 2004 and 2020.
In 2012, Welker and her family celebrated Christmas at the White House with the Obamas.
Throughout Welker’s tenure as a White House correspondent, she has earned a reputation for a scathing style of questioning.
“Mr. President, yes or no. … have you ever worked for Russia. Yes or no?” she demanded during a confrontation in January 2019.
The treatment stands in stark contrast to her handling of Democratic politicos.
In March 2016 Welker was busted on live television tipping off Hillary Clinton’s Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri about at least one question she planned to ask her during a post-debate interview in Michigan. At the time Clinton was locked in a fierce fight for the Democratic nomination against Sen. Bernie Sanders.
“I’m going to ask you about Flint,” Welker said of the Michigan city’s infamous water crisis.

That’s why she gets to moderate. Isn’t this clear by now.

I’d like to see an exchange like this at the debate:
Welker: “Mr. President, yes or no. … have you ever worked for Russia. Yes or no?”
Trump: “Ms. Welker, yes or no. ... have you donated 10’s of thousands of dollars to the DNC and do you continue to spend Christmases with the Obamas in Martha’s Vineyard? Yes or no?”
Welker: “Mr. President, yes or no. … have you ever worked for Russia. Yes or no?”
Trump: “Ms. Welker, yes or no. ... have you donated 10’s of thousands of dollars to the DNC and do you continue to spend Christmases with the Obamas in Martha’s Vineyard? Yes or no?”

That debate is never going to happen.

I would be OK with a Kristen Welker if we could have Tucker Carlson do one

It's strange there has been no mention of what the "additional structure" will be.

I'd like to try to bang the crazy out of her. I seriously doubt I can but it's worth a shot.

Why didn’t the NYT point this out?
And Trump should start with these inconvenient facts.

How does the RNC allow this to happen

You couldn't figure this out just by knowing that she is employed by NBC? Name one person on that network that doesn't have deep Democratic ties.
