Chuck Todd is scared, man. He says he’s not going anywhere President Donald Trump is.
“I don’t feel safe,” the former Meet the Press host said Monday on Chris Cillizza’s podcast.
“Wherever Trump is …” Todd added before his soulmate Cillizza jumped in and completed his frightened thought “… chaos follows …”
“… Chaos follows him and you are less safe, right?” Todd finished.
The self-indulgent host of The Chuck ToddCast and the host of whatever it is Cillizza is doing these days commiserated on the subject of Trump “chaos” less than two days after a gunman stormed a security checkpoint in front of the Washington Hilton ballroom where the annual White House Correspondents Dinner was taking place. Law enforcement officials say the California teacher’s plan was to assassinate the president.
In fact, the note 31 year-old Cole Thomas Allen sent to his family before he began his attack made clear that he had no intention of harming any of the reporters gathered at the event, according to authorities. Why would he? The Trump-hating media have been feeding leftists like him a steady diet of vitriol for years. They’ve worked alongside the MAGA opposition to vilify Trump in a sustained campaign to smear the president as a clear and present threat to “democracy” — the nebulous term the left likes to use for liberals in complete control of the republic’s institutions.
Todd can put away his Blair Witch Project face.
The political clown has long been part of the corporate media “resistance” movement that has kept the temperature turned up, feeding the furnace of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They have helped make Trump and those around him unsafe from the increasingly violent liberals corporate media have egged on for more than a decade.
‘This Dark Moment’
While Democrats and the Pravda press quickly pivoted from condemnation of political violence to whataboutism and then to blaming Trump, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wasn’t having any of it.
“The violent rhetoric from deranged liberals and biased media outlets against the President manifested itself on Saturday night,” he told NBC News.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday expressed similar sentiments to reporters.
“[T]his political violence stems from a systemic demonization of [the president] and his supporters by commentators, yes, by elected members of the Democrat party and even some in the media,” she said. “This hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years has helped to legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment.”
When corporate media outlets take a rare break from whipping up hatred for Trump and his administration, Democrats can count on their boy Jimmy Kimmel to step it up on late-night television.
“Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” the host of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! said during one of his little skits late last week. Kimmel’s “joke” didn’t age well.
The first lady wasn’t amused.
“His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” she wrote on her X account. “People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.”
The late-night host told his viewer Monday evening that his comments were “obviously” a joke about the first couple’s age difference. He noted his gun control advocacy, claiming the crass remark was not meant to endorse Trump’s assassination.
Kimmel, who is entering significantly fewer homes than he once did thanks to his nightly TDS, has been down this road before. In September, Kimmel made repulsive comments about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk not long after the conservative leader was assassinated in front of thousands — including his wife and young children — at a free speech event on a Utah college campus. ABC briefly took him off the air. Kimmel came back more insufferable than ever.
‘I Just Want to Go Home’
Kirk’s widow, Erika, attended Saturday’s correspondent’s dinner. Walking out of the ballroom in tears, she could be heard plaintively saying, “I just want to go home.”
“Saturday was yet another traumatic example of the evil in our country and the continued rise in political violence,” she wrote Monday evening on her X account. “I’m taking time to spend with my family.” Kirk added that she plans to join The Charlie Kirk Show — hosted by Andrew Kolvet, the show’s former executive producer — Wednesday at noon Eastern Time “to briefly address what took place.”
Don’t expect any contrition from the likes of The New York Times and The Washington Post. The newspapers have refused to give back their 2018 Pulitzer Prize for egregiously false reporting that perpetuated the Russia collusion hoax. The Times’ and Post’s coverage helped shape public opinion that Trump and his campaign collaborated with the Kremlin in the 2016 presidential election. It was the lie that crippled Trump’s first term, and it was debunked early by The Federalist.
