Chuck Todd will smear anybody he disagrees with.
But clearly he doesn’t like it when someone he is smearing turns it around on him.
And Chuck Todd got into a screaming match with a Republican after his secret got exposed.
As host of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd has been one of the leading fake news figures working to take down President Trump for over four years.
But he doesn’t like it when people point that out to his face, as proven by what happened when he had Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on air.
“This started when the mainstream media stopped, dropped any pretense of being unbiased, and actually chose sides during this election,” Johnson began. “This fire was started when you completely ignored, for example, our investigation of Hunter Biden. You know, ‘no evidence of wrongdoing there.’”
Johnson continued before being cut off mid-sentence: “Now we find out after the election, no, there is a fair amount of evidence to the point that we have a real FBI investigation . . .”
That’s when Todd jumped in, visibly shaking with anger.
“Senator! All right. I’ve had enough of hearing this,” he screamed, before continuing, “Listen, you have spent, and I’m curious, Senator, you’ve spent much of your time in the last two years carrying a lot of this crazy conspiratorial water for President Trump.”
Of course, this isn’t true.
And Todd did not deny that he was not at least partially responsible for destroying the media’s credibility.
After all, it was Todd who got exposed in 2017 for throwing house parties for prominent Democrats, and early last year it was discovered that he rented out his Arlington, VA townhouse to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D).
Johnson expertly hit back, pointing out that investigating real stories that concern people is not “conspiracy theory,” but what is supposed to be the job of the press.
“Again, I didn’t light this fire. This fire was lit over four years ago and we’ve destroyed the credibility, you have destroyed the credibility of the news media by your bias,” Johnson said, before adding:
“We have an enormous problem in the country. It’s unsustainable and the only way you solve it is with information and transparency and hearings and investigations. It’s not quackery, it’s conspiracy theory. It’s what’s going to be required.”
Todd proved he doesn’t actually care about having a good faith discussion on this when he hit back questioning why he didn’t push for hearings about “9/11 truthers” or the “moon landing.”
This is a clear deflection that proves that Todd has no real response to the real frustrations that people have with the so-called “mainstream” media.
