to speak out strongly against the trump tactics, tweeting, it is difficult to imagine a worse, more un-democratic action by a sitting american president. joining me now, nbc white house correspondent kristen welker, and peter alexander, co-hosts of "weekend today," and "the washington post's" phil rucker. kristen, you had an exchange with the president-elect yesterday on this very subject. >> that's right, andrea, we're really hearing some of the strongest language that we have heard yet from president-elect joe biden, both in those comments that you played at the top and also, when i pressed him on whether or not he would pursue legal action against the trump administration, against the gsa, to demand that he begin to have the briefings that he feels are critical. those briefings on national security and on covid, the vaccines that are coming. and the president-elect effectively said, look, he thinks right now the most expedient course of action is to try to work with republicans. he thinks that legal action would be drawn out. i asked him if he was ruling out legal action, he said no, it's stil
