Chuck Todd: “Trump’s Actions Put Us In A National Nightmare.” Here’s What’s Really Happening.

It is with the deepest solemnity and severity that I declare that Chuck Todd is a potato.
See how that works? Strong language doesn’t necessarily make something true, but you’d think it does going by the shirt-rending language Dem pundits like Chuck Todd are using to describe President Trump’s calls for other countries to reopen their investigation into the Bidens’ shady dealings there.
The MSNBC anchor began his Thursday afternoon edition of MTP Daily by oh-so-seriously telling his audience that Trump’s public call for China to investigate Joe Biden placed America squarely in the center of a “national nightmare.”
“I do not say this lightly,” Todd began. “Let’s be frank, a national nightmare is upon us. The basic rules of our democracy are under attack, from the president.”

“Donald Trump is using the power of his office to solicit interference in the 2020 presidential election—while doing it relying on a debunked conspiracy or two,” he said. “This is not hearsay or a whistleblower’s complaint or a memorandum of a phone conversation. You heard the president do it himself on the White House lawn.”
“This moment should arguably be a national emergency—the founding fathers would have considered it a national emergency if the president publicly lobbied multiple foreign governments to interfere in the next election,” Todd continued.
Noting that Republicans have supposedly “failed” to condemn Trump’s actions, Todd further lamented that this was “remarkable considering the precedent it would set and the lasting damage it would do to our democracy.”
“It is tough to say lightly,” he sighed. “But this is the moment we are at.”
Is it really, now? Funny, I hadn’t noticed the sky falling.
CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter shared the clip of Todd’s woeful soliloquy in a tweet that, as it should be, was promptly roasted.
"This moment should arguably be a national emergency," Todd said. "The founding fathers would have considered it a national emergency if the president publicly lobbied multiple foreign governments to interfere in the next election."

A national emergency? Not if you ask the People of Twitter™
Why didn't you ever tell us about Joe Biden's public corruption? You never mentioned his son was being investigated for corruption, that Joe stopped the investigation and you never mentioned the billion dollars Hunter got from China after going there with his father. Why?

I’d like to know too, Stelter.
Let’s be frank. Y’all invited this pud on CNN 100+ times…and then said he had to be considered a serious candidate due to his many cable TV appearances pic.twitter.com/03KbDhlTka

Oh my word, thank goodness we don’t have to worry about Avenatti 2020.

Exactly.
Trump is revealing the public corruption of the establishment. This is very upsetting to CNN

Naturally.
Trump will now sit back and laugh as the political elitists (through their media lapdogs) take strong opposition to investigating corruption within their ranks.
As AG Barr simultaneously uncovers the extent of the 2016 election interference welcomed and paid for by the DNC.

I remember when Democrat operatives like Chuck Todd were telling us that investigating foreign interference in the 2016 election was a good thing.

How dare he investigate corruption. The audacity!
LOL
Not only is it legal for a president to request assistance from nations with which we have cooperation treaties to investigate potential US officials' corruption abroad, it's his Constitutional duty to do so.
Mueller did with 13 other countries
Tired of being lied to yet?

Nailed it.
