Fox News

NBC’s Kristen Welker "incorrectly implied" that Vice President Kamala Harris was in attendance at the dignified transfer of U.S. troops killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., appeared on NBC’s "Meet the Press" Sunday and criticized President Biden and Harris for ignoring the families of the fallen soldiers.

"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away — ten minutes. She could've gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women, but she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them," Cotton told Welker. "It is because of her and Joe Biden's incompetence that those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan."

"They did meet them during the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer," Welker interjected.

NBC posted a correction on the show's X account after the show.

"On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal," NBC wrote on their "Meet the Press" X account.

"Biden was in attendance but Harris was not," the statement continued.

The media defense of Dems is why we don’t hate them enough.

Cotton should have slammed her for interrupting him and lying

Kristin Welker did not imply , she outright deliberately made a false statement to provide cover for Kamal Harris. Anyone watching heard this ball faced lie. Very few read the retraction. Mission accomplished by the deplorable and despicable media.

Was that the one where Biden was bored and kept checking his watch?

Posting on X isn't enough.

They should start their fricking Sunday evening newscast with the retraction.

In fact, that was fricking taped anyway. Her statement should have been edited out before the broadcast.

One day when the country is sitting on fire, people will be left wondering how did we get here. And the media will no doubt find themselves in the crosshairs of an angry nation. I hope the one who propagated this travesty against our country are no less than burned at the stake.

How ironic/farcical was it that these lying bastards wanted a federal agency to decide what was “true” and what was not?

Should Kristen Welker be censored and NBC news be taken off the air for this misinformation?

Considering Biden was checking his watch to see when he could get the hell out of there, Kamala probably doesn't appreciate Kristen's attempted support.

Why the need to correct? Afraid of a lawsuit?
