Continuing the theme of I fucking hate Chuck Todd . . .


Sunday he said that Democrats are becoming too liberal.

"NBC host Chuck Todd suggested on Sunday that Democrats are abandoning their base by supporting "far left" policies like Medicare for All, which 70 percent of Americans support."

He projects himself as a Smart Boy, but his arrogance is the giveaway. I turn him off when his mug hits the screen. He's a waste of time.
