Fact Check: Yes, NBC’s Kristen Welker Promoted Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax

VERDICT: True. Welker, while she was the White House correspondent for NBC News, routinely promoted reports from her network and other media outlets like the New York Times that falsely suggested Trump colluded with Russia.

“Kristen, I’m going to use this time because this is actually about you and the media and the corrupt media establishment,” Ramaswamy said. “[I will] ask you: the Trump-Russia collusion hoax that you pushed on this network for years, was that real, or was that Hillary Clinton made-up disinformation?

The first two comments are correct and so was Vivek. It is clear that all MSM is corrupt and has been for sometime.
