Recently Chuck Todd has been doing his job in reducing the spin by pointing out unadulterated facts when Republicans enter their lying mode. He used Mike Pence's words against him. What is amazing is Pence's inability to break the narrative.
When Chuck Todd used Mike Pence's words against him, he displayed an embarrassed smile but amazingly expectedly to form after a few seconds.

Basically Republicans are vengeful and greed driven animals with a human brain.

(901 posts)Twitter temper tantrums over everything from Mr. Khan to Alec Baldwin to Judge Robart! Glad, though, that Chuck Todd made Pence squirm and called him out on his hypocrisy.

They are among the best liars on the planet.

(14,173 posts)I'm sure they are instructed to handle tough questions like this. They do it because it works. It is a strange effect but one that has been proven to work by other right wing politicians on the human psyche. Just like a few other tactics like.....accusing the other side of things that you are guilty of (throws off the interviewer), or repeating a lie over and over until it is believed no matter how many times it is also refuted on the "liberal media".
It has the appearance of "We both know that's a laughable premise, and I can hardly stop myself from laughing that you take this so serious". It is directed towards their base and no one else. It helps shape the interpretation of the question itself as being a joke.
