<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The Twitter account of NBC News correspondent and third presidential debate moderator Kristen Welker has been deactivated on Friday amid the tweeting controversy surrounding C-SPAN host</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/debate-moderator-steve-scully-raises-eyebrows-with-tweet-asking-scaramucci-should-i-respond-to-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steve Scully</a><span style="color: #808080;">.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-15385" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter-800x450.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="281" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter-800x450.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kristen-Welker-Twitter.jpg 1862w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Hours after Scully&#8217;s Twitter account was deleted following an alleged hacking that took place on Thursday night, Welker&#8217;s own account was no longer active. Fox News is told that Welker deactivated her own account and was not asked to by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), according to an NBC source.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/nbc-kristen-welker-twitter-steve-scully-controversy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fox News, 10/9/20</a></p>
<p>As of October 19, Welker&#8217;s Twitter account has made a miraculous reemergence&#8230; minus the last month&#8217;s worth of posts.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://twitter.com/kwelkernbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-15383" title="@kwelkernbc Twitter account" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="620" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker.jpg 598w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-121x150.jpg 121w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>As evidenced numerous times over the decades, we&#8217;re assured that moderators are impartial journalists; and why are journalists the only ones allowed to moderate? We&#8217;re supposed to believe Welker will be fair, despite the fact she&#8217;s taken the time to edit out Twitter posts that may prove otherwise. But let&#8217;s not be fooled again; Kristen Welker is not going to be fair and balanced.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">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.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-and-Obamas.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15386 size-medium" title="Michelle Obama, Harvey Welker, Kristen Welker, and Barack Obama, on Dec. 13, 2012. (Kristen Welker/Facebook)" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-and-Obamas-150x97.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="97" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-and-Obamas-150x97.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-and-Obamas.jpg 699w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>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.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Though Kristen Welker’s party registration is not listed today, she was a registered Democrat in Washington, DC, in 2012 and in Rhode Island in 2004.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">&#8212;</span> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kristen-welker-upcoming-presidential-debate-moderator-has-deep-democrat-ties" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fox News, 10/17/20</a></p>
<p>Suspiciously, it appears Welker has been too busy doing journalism to issue ONE Tweet in almost a month. But thanks to the nature of the Internet where you can run but not hide, some of her recent Tweets have been recovered.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-Tweets.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-15384" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-Tweets.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="390" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-Tweets.jpg 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-Tweets-150x117.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Welker-Tweets-768x599.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>And what will the debate topics be? You&#8217;d think Welker will ask the candidates about issues most important to the American people.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-15392 size-large" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista-800x523.png" alt="" width="750" height="490" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista-800x523.png 800w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista-150x98.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista-768x502.png 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Statista.png 1217w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></a></p>
<p>So what are the topics Kristen Welker has decided to be the last things Americans should consider before voting?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe candidate Trump should have followed Barack Obama&#8217;s lead and make a major announcement on race, prior to his taking office. Maybe he should have had either his attorney general or someone in his cabinet call the United States a &#8220;nation of cowards&#8221; for not having yet another &#8220;conversation&#8221; about race. Maybe President Trump should have found a way to make all walk on eggshells and imply anything and everything had some kind of racial overtone.</p>
<p>As the president doesn&#8217;t see everything from the prism of identity politics, he mentions such topics as they arise and when it comes to racial bigotry, violence, and &#8220;white supremacy&#8221;, Donald Trump has made his beliefs on the topic very clear and has done so numerous times as events warranted.</p>
<p>The problem is the media, which holds the national megaphone, has decided to not hear what was repeatedly said.</p>

<p>Racism has always been a default smear Democrats use against Republicans, despite their <a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/2009/01/14/democrat-race-lie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">murderous legacy</a>. As national polls show Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden&#8217;s grip on the <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/18/biden-black-latino-voters-417473" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">minority vote slipping</a>, the left is resorting to what they&#8217;ve always done best: race-baiting.</p>
<p>Whether or not the media tactic will work in 2020 remains to be seen.</p>
