Chuck Todd Tells GOP Senator To Stop Trying To Make Trump 'Feel Better' During Tense Interview

Chuck Todd Tells GOP Senator To Stop Trying To Make Trump 'Feel Better' During Tense Interview

While hosting Meet the Press, NBC's Chuck Todd didn't hold back in questioning Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) about revelations that President Donald Trump urged multiple foreign leaders to investigate former Vice President—and Trump's potential 2020 opponent—Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.


Trump's transgression spurred House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to officially open an impeachment inquiry into the President, but nearly all Republican leaders have attempted to dismiss the move.

Johnson did his best to be one of them, but Todd called him out for it.

Watch below.

Johnson was attempting to shift the conversation from Trump to former FBI agent Peter Strzok, asking if the House was investigating baseless claims that Strzok's critical texts to other FBI employees about Trump had impeded Strzok's ability to follow the facts of an investigation.

"Senator, I have no idea why a Fox News conspiracy, propaganda stuff is popping up on here," Todd responded. "I have no idea. I have no idea why we're going here."

Johnson insisted that he was merely stating why Trump and his supporters were upset about investigations into Trump's corruption, before Todd continued:

"Senator Johnson, please, can we please answer the question that I asked you instead of trying to make Donald Trump feel better here that you're not criticizing him."

It turns out President Donald Trump did see the show, but—despite the "highly reaspected [sic]" Senator Johnson's answers, he wasn't feeling any better.

While Johnson and Trump may not have appreciated it, many commended Todd's line of questioning.



Others thought Johnson bungled the entire interview.



Perhaps Trump should start looking for some better defenders, or maybe—just maybe—stop committing indefensible acts as President.

Jesse Watters Blasted After Joking That Women 'Better Watch Out' For Testosterone-Boosted Male Troops

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked outrage after implying that women will face more sexual assault from testosterone-boosted men in the U.S. military now that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that service members age 30 and older will be screened annually and treated for testosterone deficiency.

The decision to screen active-duty service members for testosterone levels and offering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) when appropriate is part of an effort to keep U.S. troops on the "leading edge of lethality," Hegseth said in a video posted to X captioned "The High-T Department of War."

MTG Just Went Scorched Earth On Lindsey Graham's Legacy In Viral Rant: 'He Was A Murderer'

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham a "murderer" in remarks on the progressive news show The Young Turks, saying Graham's legacy is defined by the fact he "supported war more than anything."

Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto opened her mail to find a license plate that could easily be interpreted as a crude phrase. Rather than laugh it off, she was less than thrilled by the discovery.
