Chuck Todd Gone Wild: Former NBC Pundit Calls Biden 'Craven Political Animal,' Image Was 'Bullshit'
Whoa. If there was one thing I didn’t expect to hear today, it was former “Meet the Press" and NBC News political pundit Chuck Todd blasting former President Joe Biden in deeply personal terms. But he did exactly that on Sunday and sure didn’t hold back, saying that Biden’s image as a family man was utter bull droppings and that “he never should have been there [in the Oval Office] in the first place.”
He was speaking with Steve Schmidt, co-founder of the odious Lincoln Project, on "The Warning" podcast, and the two were talking about why the Democrats lost the ’24 presidential election (answer: because their policies are terrible) when Todd launched into his tirade:
"You know, Joe Biden never should have been there in the first place, right? Number one, he shouldn't have run for president [in 2020]," Todd remarked.
"I completely got so angry at Joe Biden, the man, when I read the transcript of the Hunter Biden trial, and when I realized that not one, not two, but three Biden children, and I count Beau's widow, were all dealing with drug problems in 2018. And Joe Biden said, 'Now's a perfect time to run for president, because who cares about our family?'"
"I have to tell you something about Joe Biden. There's this mythology about Joe Biden, that the man cared so much, it's all bulls---," he continued.
Todd said Biden had "created this myth," over his 40-year career, that he was an "incredible family man."
"And instead, what he really was, was a craven political animal that was desperate, that considered a run for president every four years that he was eligible," he added.
Todd would have more credibility if he’d been louder about his concerns when it mattered, but to be fair, he was one of the only voices in the corrupt press that would even acknowledge the issue. After Biden’s disastrous June debate with Trump, Todd had to admit things weren’t looking good:
