The disrespect is palpable from this reporter.

[prototypestrong]

The reporter is a jerk. Nice of RFK to ignore his insults.

[jenniferwhite]

This reporter is disrespectful, rude, and awful as an interviewer!

[dvijay]

Fire this reporter for the blatant disrespect!

[eternalflameofchristminist]

He did qualify. He was illegally blocked by CNN

[scottfrenz]

This reporter was extremely condescending

[ggtuhvy]

Whoever said there is no such thing as a dumb question clearly has never met this reporter

[lauraragazzi]

RFK Jr. has my vote. He should be allowed to participate to debates

[bensisko]

More absolutely shameful journalism from NBC.

[KingHazel]

Debate was rigged lol
RFK24 won the debate

[boydommy]

That guy that was interviewing RFK Jr. was the snarkiest, most unprofessional piece of dirt I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot of MSM interviews.)

[kristofferlape]

It's great RFK Jr. is getting more press. Even if the journalists come in with an agenda, it's always refreshing to hear RFK Jr. speak.

[ohlxxfp]

It really was depressing... Rfk Jr. Should have been allowed to participate, this debate was a joke.

[richardtidmore]

Come on America don't sleep on this guy.

[TheConstructiveCritic]

You can’t even imagine how much our own government and media work against our own good… Blows my mind!

[TheMinydude]

Your reporter should be fired the blatant disrespect was disgusting.

[drchadcham]

This reporter is neither a journalist nor a reporter. It would be refreshing to see a reporter without an agenda and with the backbone to remain unbiased.

RFK's live debate on X was the only place to be. HE actually spoke on the issues that Americans care about, while Trump and Biden go off on "I'm the best golfer." "NO I'm the best golfer"... what a joke. Americans are looking for alternatives to these disasters of the DNC and RNC. They are so out of touch with real Americans.

[lennonslemons]

NBC finally acknowledging RFKJ only to disrespect him. He's a class act with very thick skin. The complete opposite of Dump Truck.

[AndresAlvarez-qfdx]

Such a disrespectful reporter. Despicable.
