INSIDER: NBC News host scoffs at Sen. Ron Johnson after he said the media was biased during a charged interview: 'You can go back on your partisan cable cocoon'

 Poor Senator Johnson. No Trump sycophants to toss you softball questions. How dare

someone question your views or conclusions. Just accept them as facts right?

Specifically: What lies have been said about you? How have you been smeared?

Throwing a Temper Tantrum on TV is not evidence.

- DAVID.

During a heated exchange on Sunday, NBC News host Chuck Todd repeatedly shut down Sen. Ron Johnson.

Todd kicked off the "Meet The Press" interview by asking Johnson — the highest Republican on the Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Investigations — for his thoughts on the Justice Department's investigation into classified documents that were found at President Joe Biden's former office and Delaware home.

The Wisoncon Republican said he believed that Biden should be investigated like Trump, but went on to discuss his belief that a special counsel should be appointed to investigate Hunter Biden's laptop.

"Senator, senator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed because I've yet to see anybody explain. It is not a crime to make money off of your last name," Todd said, adding "You're targeting Hunter Biden multiple times on this show, Senator." 

Johnson replied by saying, "You know, part of the problem, and this is pretty obvious to anybody watching this, is you don't invite me on to interview me, you invite me on to argue with me." He continued: "Part of the reasons our politics are inflamed is we do not have an unbiased media. We don't. It's unfortunate. I'm all for free press. It needs to be more unbiased."

Todd refuted: "Look, you can go back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want. I understand it's part of your identity." Todd said, apparently referring to Johnson's many Fox News interviews

Though the two interrupted each other throughout the entire 13-minute show, they also discussed the denial around Biden's 2020 election victory and current political tensions. 

Johnson originally backed the baseless idea that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. He said on a radio show in June 2022 that Rep. Mike Kelly gave him a list of "alternate" electors to send to former Vice President Mike Pence.

Todd attempted to ask about the incident on Sunday before Johnson interrupted, prompting the two to go back and forth again.

Johnson denied having "very much" involvement in the 2020 election fraud scheme.

"What you ought to do is go back and read my opening statement. And that pretty well lays out exactly what I thought about the 2020 election. But the news media never does that. They smear me. They lie about me. They make these things up," Johnson told Todd, later refuting the idea that the recent insurrection in Brazil looked similar to the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

Johnson also told Todd he'd appreciate an opportunity to come onto the show at a later date to discuss "lies" the media has told about him. 

"Senator Ron Johnson, I look forward to our face-to-face at some point. Thanks for coming on and sharing your perspective with us," Todd said as he wrapped up the interview.

"So do I," Johnson said in closing.

Johnson and NBC News did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.


RUSSIAGATE PART 5: REMEMBER THIS? 2016 PUTIN INSTALLS TRUMP IN WHITE HOUSE, AFTER RUSSIA CORRUPTS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. PART 5.

 

Sometimes it is amazing to see the degree of desperation that is used to RESCUE OR BAILOUT PROMINENT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE "REALITY" OF A GIVEN SITUATION. It could be creating "FACTS" or "TRUTHS" that can easily be refuted, or ignoring information that contradicts a desired or pre-determined conclusion. 


If you have visited this site on a regular basis, my articles and posts on DONALD TRUMP MAKE CLEAR THAT HE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF SAYING OR DOING JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS, BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. In addition, at least in Donald Trumps case, It is beneficial to have Allies who are willing to ignore Logic, Reason, or Duty in order to protect him from the Legal Consequences of his actions. 

What do I mean? Well, the current controversy regarding the MUELLER REPORT is a perfect example. 

When we discuss the Findings and Conclusions in the Special Counsels Report, it is necessary to set up Universal Guidelines that are applicable to all parts, and are not left to the Whims and Prejudices of whomever happens to be the Media Darling of the day, able to blurt out entertaining one liners that are of little value, unless undermining the strength of our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC is your goal. 


Make sure all Terms are properly defined, especially when it comes to possible allegations of criminal activity, or actions that interfered with the LEGAL OPERATION OF THE 2016 ELECTION.There is no way to properly assess conclusions, if one, both, or all sides are playing "SEMANTIC" Games. 

THE SOURCE AND THE QUALITY OF EVIDENCE, EITHER PROVIDED TO, OR UNCOVERED BY, the Office of the Special Counsels Investigation, is assessed properly and openly. NO INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, CAN BE ALLOWED TO PASS JUDGMENT AND FORM PUBLIC POLICY FROM SUCH JUDGMENTS,WITHOUT PROPER JUSTIFICATION. 
(AND NO...TAKING THE PRESIDENTS OR THE ATTORNEY GENERALS WORD IS NOT PROPER JUSTIFICATION.)

IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS TO REMEMBER WHERE ITS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES LIE: ANY AND ALL  COMMITTEES OR AGENCIES, RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING AND SAFEGUARDING THE PUBLIC INTEREST, MUST MAKE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. FURTHER, THIS PROCESS MUST BE FREE OF INTERFERENCE FROM ANY OFFICIAL(S), ELECTED 
OR APPOINTED.

ALL OFFICIALS; FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL AND ALL RELEVANT INDIVIDUALS OR AGENCIES MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR DECISIONS MADE. NO POLITICAL OFFICE HAS A CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD," WHERE ANY ACTIONS THEY TAKE ARE BEYOND SCRUTINY OR OVERSIGHT. This seems to be Donald Trumps and William Barrs way of thinking, but I don't buy into it, and hopefully neither will the majority of Americans.

ANOTHER GOP "RED HERRING."

LINK: https://twitter.com/i/status/1614631173262557185

TEXT: On the ground in El Paso last night. This is a national crisis and we need a national solution. Mayors like @OscarLeeser and I are on the front lines and we need federal support.


MY RESPONSE:
On the ground for what? A fence at night, and a Humvee. More GOP PROPAGANDA, WITH NOTHING THERE. Those hordes of invaders must be great at camouflage. You never seem to catch any on film.

FROM TWITTER: AR-15s, AND A POSSIBLE REASON THAT TODAYS GOP IS THE WAY IT IS.

 Twitter statement on AR-15s

For the love of God, stop using the term "assault rifle" to describe civilian AR-15s. Those are not assault rifles as they are not capable of select fire. They are only semi-automatic.

My Response:

You want to be pedantic, fine, ASSAULT WEAPON. The difference. The only difference is automatic and semiautomatic. The Design, Magazine, Cartridge Size, Effective Range are identical. Most Important: The Killing or Stopping Power are the same. Perfect for a Sociopathic Sniper.

...AND NOW...




If a true definition, we have found the GOP recruiting tool. They are not Stupid, Criminal, Amoral, or Treasonous., etc, by chance, BUT BY DESIGN.
