Veteran broadcaster Chuck Todd, who left NBC News and launched a solo podcast earlier this year, said in an interview this weekend that someone slashed his car’s tires after President Trump criticized him during Trump’s previous White House stint.
“There was direct correlation, right? He’d call your name out, [and] you’d get weird phone calls, you’d get weird death threats,” Todd said in the interview Saturday with Times Radio, a British station owned by conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “I got my tires slashed in front of my house.” Todd told Times Radio host Maddie Hale that he addressed the issue of retaliation with the president.
“Honestly, I’ve had conversations with him. I said, ‘You know, when you name-check people who are not in the public square, who do not have the protection you bring a level of —'” the former “Meet the Press” moderator said. “He views it as, ‘Oh, it’s good publicity.'”
But Todd added that he does not believe Trump has malicious intent when he calls people out. “I don’t think he’s doing it to create a security problem for these people, but what he wants to do is deflect blame,” Todd said. “But the reality is that it creates a security problem.”
Todd, who lives in Arlington, Va., just outside of Washington, D.C., was speaking in reference to reports that judges, lawmakers and others who have crossed Trump have increasingly faced threats, and many have beefed up security since his first presidency.
NO ONE on the right slashed your tires, you perverted creep!
Whine bag. How many times have you been shot at or had attempts on your life for the vitriol you and your fellow losers have ginned up against Trump and Conservatives? STFU.
Why would anyone believe anything that this professional serial liar says?
I wonder what else didn’t happen
Justin Smolett.
Veteran propagandist Chuck Todd. He really sympathizes with Tesla drivers and dealers no?
I smell a hoax “crime.”
No one expected the Spanish Inquisition.
And no one gives a s**t about our media clowns.
He wishes he was relevant.
I’d bet more likely an unhinged boyfriend.
Cry me a river, liar.
Did they check his pockets for a knife? one thing the left loves to do is fake crimes against themselves.
Parked it in a seedy part of Baltimore or anywhere in NYC or DC and this happened. All lawlessness is Trump’s fault. All of it.
Poor old Cuck Dood!
Golly gee, the “media” intentionally seek to destroy and vanquish EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN YOU CAN THINK OF and are surprised when there’s eventual comeuppance.
Lets ask Jesse Smolett if Arlington is MAGA country.
IF his tires were slashed, he did it himself. Prove me wrong.
He’s such a drama queen.
