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 Steve Scully.

Hours after Scully's Twitter account was deleted following an alleged hacking that took place on Thursday night, Welker's own account was no longer active.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.

Fox News reached out to the CPD and NBC News for comment.

When I hear a Leftist maintain that their Twitter or FaceBook account was hacked, my BS meter spikes.

Every time.

Could Kristen Welker be related to Sen. Herman Welker (R-Ida.)? If so, it would be ironic. A solid conservative, Welker was known as Little Joe from Idaho for joining Sen. Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.) in his his crusade to rid the government of Russian spies and his defense of McCarthy when he came under attack from the entire liberal establishment.
