  1. You are the worst moderator i've ever listened to

  2. Great job letting Trump broadcast a continuous string of lies and exaggerations. "Let's stay on track," is how you conduct an interview?

  3. She's a woke hack nothing eles

  4. What a disgraceful speech..it's a Sunday hack fake news show..they needed someone to fill in for that dope Todd

  5. Goodbye NBC. Disgusting "interview" with trump. He tried to overthrow our democracy! And you pandered to him! You called him Mr. President! You didn't challenge his lies! Shades of Fox…

  6. You are nothing but a pretty face – you are not a serious journalist (ref: Trump softball interview!). Meet the Press has hit the lowest point in its history and you are simply an example of weak MSNBC leadership who don’t have a clue about the Meet the Press viewers. You are NOT it. This is why I don’t take the program seriously anymore. Oh my god what a horrible Trump interview. You would think the guy was just a normal old ex-President!

  7. Saw the Wellker Trump interview; she absolutely positively demonstrated she is working at the communist outlet she deserves. Obviously no one taught her "integrity", "truth" and "honesty".

  8. This isn’t journalism, if it was you and other bought-out journalists wouldn’t have recently attended at Trump campaign paid-for dinner at Rare steakhouse. Yep, we know you attended too Kristen. This is “Journalism”??

  9. Her Trump interview was horrible. The amount of lies he spewed was horrendous and lame live fact checking. At the very least you could’ve ran a fact check ticker during production

  10. It's also incredible that you had the liar-in-chief, Donald Trump, as your inaugural guest. You're just starting and here it's disappointing that you've failed to live up to the true meaning of a free press. Sad.

  11. A great lady in a great position. She will be as good , if not more, as Chuck. May God bless her.

  12. who will call Trump out on his lies and BS to his face on the spot?

    Most student journalists….Most of judges appointed by Trump

    Most virtuous people would have, impartial people would have…….even some ProudBoytards would

  13. Kristen its my hornor to have you👍

  14. Kristen. A journalist you’re not.
    NBC apparently wants to cover all its bases in case, god help us, the fascists win.
    All advertisers and viewers alike should run from NBC (and CNN). They have become “fake news”.

  15. You treated Trump like a normal candidate. You gave him a platform to spout his lies just like CNN did. I now believe that the top tier at NBC is really on Trump's side so I will no longer watch NBC. Looks like all the corporate media is just in it for the money and they're happy with us losing our democracy.

  16. Shame on you NBC! You legitimize by granting this interview to Trump, a man trying to destroy our democracy. I will now boycott your network, and advise and convince ANYONE I come in contact with to do the same. Shame on you.

  17. Stopped watching this show a good five years ago because of Chuck’s tendency to hand wash apples and oranges issues with a professional demeanor that belied the curious fact that the citrus du jour invariably ended the show with an extra coat of wax. Enter the new host… And what an entrance! I had never heard of her before yesterday which puts me in the clear majority, yet barely 24 hours after her grand premiere, everyone on the planet from Portland to Christchurch via Brussels, Cape Town and Kathmandu knows her name. What a move… while I’m typing this the jury is still out on whether she is already as infamous as Ginny Thomas or even Elon Musk but one thing is clear: the new host of Meet The exPres can obviously “sell herself” 😏

  18. I watched MTP for 40 years, and now I'm done. This woman is pure acid if you're not of NBC's political view. Oh, for the days of Tim Russert. I'd hope that his son would be in the chair eventually, but not yet. A travesty of political broadcasts from now on.

  19. You are an embarrassment to journalists in free countries around the world. Your interview of Donald Trump was pathetic. He is a criminal who wants to end democracy in the USA. How dare you pretend that he, in any way, is a legitimate candidate for the position of President. You should be ashamed of yourself.

  20. Sadly you have become part of the propaganda, this was garbage, no push back on the absolute nonsense – you’ve lost your credibility- a puppet not a journalist

  21. Obviously this corrupted ‘news’ channel hides comments

  22. Propagandize lying puppet

  23. Disgusting lying puppet for the new world order

  24. MSNBC and the likes are the ones to start or promote. THIS INTERVIEW is B/.>S.. W >>>> W>>>>> III.

  25. She must be exhausted holding those microphones.

  26. You did a great job interviewing Donald Trump. You may not have always gotten the answer you wanted, but you did not back down! Great job and welcome to Meet the Press. And I love the fact that you fact check the things that are said! So important!

  27. Finally a fair interview with Trump

  28. We, women feel so honorable to have you as an anchor.

    Congratulations 🎉👏👏

    Looking forward to seeing you every Sunday 🇺🇸👍

  29. I used to think you were a serious journalist… but it seems you are going to turn out just like hannity

  30. 🌹 Congratulations! I am so proud of you. Well deserved. 🌹

  31. You're paid to lie. 😂😅😂 Only the Gullibles believe your propaganda.

  32. Another POFS that will say anything that she is told ….will do it for the money. Hate to be her….soul purchased. Sad she has followers that ❤trust her.

  33. She may have wanted to listen to what the first host of this show actually said and heed those words instead of making this just another political show with an obvious slant.

    Oh, and maybe a thanks to Tim Russert? Guess that doesn't fot the narrative these days.

  34. Can't believe there's someone worse than Chuck Todd… so biased… 🤔

  35. Congratulations Kristen🎉🎉🎉❤

  36. Many Congratulations to Kristen. With her deep experiences and her well-organized thoughts, she is more than deserved to sit in the MTP chair to be proud of her achievement of the public trusts in her professional career in journalism.

  37. I'm happy for her having her new job. But I wish the next time Trump agrees to an interview with a news organization, they send someone who will call him on his lies and BS to his face on the spot.

  38. I’d be happy for you if you’d controlled Trump and pushed back on his lies. Be a solid journalist.

  39. So you start by normalizing Trump?
    Disgraceful performance by both parties.

  40. SHAME ON YOU FOR NORMALIZING THIS TRAITOR. NBC IS DEAD TO ME.

  41. Sorry but I don’t care for her and it has nothing to do with color

  42. This clown has zero credibility.
