Chuck Todd refuses to air 'vicious' Trump attacks on Hunter Biden

MSNBC host Chuck Todd called President Trump's attacks on Joe Biden's son, Hunter, "vicious" and said that the network was not going to "reward" the president by airing them.

"President Trump held a campaign rally in Minnesota last night. There are parts of it we can't show you, or rather, there are parts of it we're not going to show you," Todd said Friday on MSNBC. "The president's red meat vitriol wasn't new. Neither was his use of profanity.

"The president went further than he's ever gone before. So we are going further than we've ever gone before to say we aren't going to play the sound. We aren't going to repeat the president's vicious attacks on Hunter Biden," Todd added.

The news anchor claimed Trump character "assassinated" Hunter Biden, saying it was particularly inappropriate because he was a private citizen. Todd noted the attack was "newsworthy" but that he could not air it in "good conscience."

Trump's campaign responded to Todd on Twitter Friday night saying, "Go ahead, keep protecting the Bidens and censoring the movement to #DrainTheSwamp." They then attached a video of Trump's attack.

The president attacked Hunter Biden for five minutes during his rally in Minnesota. As a part of the attack, he acted out a fake interview between Biden and Todd. Trump called NBC "one of the worst" networks and mocked Todd as being a Biden promoter.

The president and his allies have accused the Bidens of corruption over their dealings in Ukraine, pointing out that Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president.

The Mainstream Media, in the pocket of the Democrat Party for the last 40+ years..that is why Obama and his Administration were able to get away with SO much for 8 years, NO ONE reported a damn thing they did

God forbid that Sleepy might actually employ some objective journalism. Oh, wait, it’s MSNBC. The Art Bell Show of network news ‘reporting’.

"Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd" has had a lot of butt-hurt from President Trump's Twitter posts in the last few years.

I might find his blatant, partisan censorship objectionable if he had an audience.

lol

They don’t have to air it.

and twitter and facebook can ban it.

but MANY have already saved it and it will go viral no matter what the msm does and they HATE THAT.

We might have won Vietnam if we had social media back then

If Chuck Todd wants to see “vicious attacks”...he should look at a good portion of the replies to any and all of President Trump’s tweets.

The truth to a journalist is like what boiling garlic flavored holy water sprayed out of firehouse at high noon is to a vampire.
