Friday in reaction to a Wisconsin jury finding Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on charges in the fatal shooting of two people during rioting last year in Kenosha, MSNBC “MTP Daily” host Chuck Todd warned that “gun owners with a certain ideology may feel incentivized now, may feel even emboldened.” Todd questioned if the Rittenhouse verdict sends an “uncomfortable message” to gun owners that they could kill someone in future protests and then claim self-defense.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that if Republicans wanted to win in 2022 and 2024, they need Republicans that agree with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) that former President Donald Trump did not win the 2020 election and was responsible for the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Cassidy said, “What I found is there’s a lot of misinformation out there, when you listen to people, they know you’re listening, and you present the other side you get people who are least neutral but oftentimes, ‘Hmm, I didn’t know that,’ and they’ll...

Chuck Todd used a Letter to the Editor published 11 months ago in the Lexington Herald Leader to attack supporters of President Trump who believe the Bible. “Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark and I will show you a Trump voter,” Todd read

Trump voters in 2016 were “gullible” and victims of gaslighting according to NBC news anchor Chuck Todd. What else could possibly explain why Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidential election? “I knew the gaslighting was out there. I knew it was every day,” Todd said. “But I think there was part of me in my head assumed people were discerning it out, knew the BS from the non-BS. So, I think what my sort of shock to the system was just sort of how gullible a big chunk of the country was to this and gullible because maybe they...

"Meow!" That was the sound you could almost hear coming from Chuck Todd after immediately backing down when challenged with the "false equivalency" shtick by Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown on Sunday's Meet The Press. What started as a good interview question to Brown fizzled out as soon as there was just a bit of pushback.Democrats have long maintained that vote fraud is "as rare as an asteroid strike" so when Brown charged that the gubernatorial election in Georgia was stolen from Democrat candidate Stacey Abrams, Todd felt compelled to all too briefly challenge Brown on his charge.  Watch how quickly Chuck Todd...

Chuck Todd’s recent article in The Atlantic was an insult to the intelligence of those of us who are ordinary voters and avid media consumers. He blames conservative media and their stars for the unprecedented distrust and credibility problems mainstream media outlets face. That’s right: he thinks millions of Americans loathe and distrust the national press solely because Fox News, Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity regularly—and falsely, in his opinion—tell their viewers about the bias in national media. He is being either clueless or dishonest, and it might be a bit of both. Let me explain some of the many...

I’ve devoted much of my professional life to the study of political campaigns, not as a historian or an academic but as a reporter and an analyst. I thought I’d seen it all, from the bizarre upset that handed a professional wrestler the governorship of Minnesota to the California recall that gave us the Governator to candidates who die but stay on the ballot and win. But there’s a new kind of campaign underway, one that most of my colleagues and I have never publicly reported on, never fully analyzed, and never fully acknowledged: the campaign to destroy the legitimacy...

Guess he wasted a four day weekend potentially . . . The Bombshell was akin to Al Capone's vault

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd issued a warning to the press on Thursday evening regarding the Russia investigation: Don’t miss work tomorrow. Todd’s MTP Daily panel was discussing Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe, and speculating as to when the investigation will wrap up. “Here’s what I’ve learned about Bob Mueller,” Todd said. “Not a single person that has known him, been with him, worked with him, wouldn’t say that he would have ended this investigation if there was no collusion. He would have already ended this investigation.”

Chuck Todd said Wednesday morning if a "functional Washington" existed that Congress would be holding investigations into the Trump presidency and looking for ways to draw up articles of impeachment. He also advised outgoing House Speaking Paul Ryan to leave behind a group of Republicans to "start an investigation" in the House Judiciary Committee to probe Trump. "You now have a president of the United States accused of committing a federal crime," Todd said on Wednesday's Today Show. "The way a functional Washington would work is that Congress, there is a process here. The sitting president is accused of a...

NBC News star Chuck Todd recently made a lectern-pounding speech to attendees of a journalism awards dinner. He proclaimed: "One thing we're not is the opposition. We've never tried to be a part of the political debate, but people want to drag us into it. We shouldn't take the bait. We're simply a voice of truth." So, let's consider the case of Andrew McCabe, former deputy director of the FBI. The FBI Office of Professional Responsibility recommended that McCabe be fired for lying, or, to be gentle, a "lack of candor" -- even under oath -- in the Justice Department...
