Donald Trump, in the midst of a Mother’s Day tweetstorm, called for NBC News to fire Meet The Press host Chuck Todd.
The president, 73, bashed Todd for using an abbreviated quote from Attorney General William Barr on his show, in order to criticize the Department of Justice for dropping charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. “Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd should be FIRED by “Concast” (NBC) for this fraud,” Trump tweeted. “He knew exactly what he was doing.
Public Airwaves = Fake News!” Trump also tagged the official Twitter accounts for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and its chairman, Ajit Pai.
Barr’s spokesperson, Kerri Kupec, called out Todd and MSNBC first on Twitter, providing transcripts (SEE HERE) that.
