Presidentdent Trump is calling for “Meet the Press” anchor Chuck Todd’s firing after the show apologized for his taking a clip of remarks made by Attorney General William Barr out of context.
“Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd should be FIRED by ‘Concast’ (NBC) for this fraud. He knew exactly what he was doing. Public Airwaves = Fake News!”
Todd could be heard asking one of his panelists to respond to a comment from Barr when he was asked in a CBS interview how history would be written about his handling of the Michael Flynn case.
“Well, history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history,” the attorney general said in the shortened clip.
Todd went on to denounce that comment, saying he was struck “by the cynicism of the answer” and claiming that Barr was admitting that “yeah, this is a political job.”
A full transcript of the interview, however, showed that Barr did not simply make a comment about winners and losers. But Todd deliberately twisted the answer.
