Chuck Todd. Asks a half dozen follow-up questions

[vanlassie]

of Bill de Blasio about Covid mandates. Never remembers HOW to ask a follow up when talking with a Republican. He’s scared of the Republicans biting back.

1. He IS a Republican

Always has been.

Another example:

"NBC’s Chuck Todd was sharply critical of Sen. Ron Johnson for his decision to join other Republican senators in trying to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. In a contentious interview on Meet the Press, Todd and Johnson accused each other of hypocrisy. Todd said that the country is now in a “destructive, vicious circle” because the senators were the ones who created the controversy about the election and now are acting like it’s an issue that needs answers even though there is no proof of widespread voter fraud. “You made an allegation that there was widespread fraud. You have failed to offer specific evidence of that widespread fraud. But you’re demanding an investigation on the grounds that there are allegations of widespread fraud,” Todd said. “So essentially, you’re the arsonist here. President Trump is the arsonist here.”"

Another example:

“None of this we say lightly,” Chuck Todd intoned solemnly, at the outset of his four-minute opening monologue on Thursday’s MTP: Daily. “Today appears to be the day you can mark in your calendars as the day that represents the Republican party’s complete and total surrender to Donald Trump.”

The MSNBC anchor spoke gravely about the consequences Republicans will face for ousting Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from leadership because of her opposition to former President Trump and his false claims of fraud in the 2020 election being stolen.

“Let’s not mince words,” Todd said. “It means the American democracy is in really big trouble, more so today than it was yesterday.

In Todd’s estimation, the push to exile Cheney could prove fatal for the Republican party. The MSNBC host believes the decision to show complete fealty to Trump will have extremely dire consequences.

4. Crenshaw and Johnson are clowns. He is not risking much to

token push on them. Today’s drivel with de Blasio was typical Pinball Chuck.

5. This has been the hallmark of the national tele media since the late 80s, Dems get interrupted,

challenged and cut off, Republicans get an open mike for as long as they can ramble.
