When he’s not hawking life insurance, Chuck Todd is making absurd claims about President Donald Trump.
Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Todd is now boldly declaring he will not be attending any more events where Trump is president because too many mentally ill, violent people are targeting him. This makes Todd feel unsafe, though of course, he victim-blames the president for being targeted, rather than the shooters.

“I’m not going to any more events where Trump is at them. I don’t feel safe. Wherever is,” Todd said.
“Chaos follows him,” Chris Cillizza interrupted.
“Chaos follows him,” Todd nodded in affirmation. “And you are less safe, right? If you decide to go into his orbit, you have become less safe. He does not care about your safety, he’s not going to protect you if you go into his orbit, because he’s always going to protect himself first.”
“He’s more likely to throw you under the bus. He’s more likely to have you be the target of Iranian assassins, if you’re John Bolton or Mike Pompeo, and he’s going to pull any sort of federal support, right?” he continued. “You know, I think about when somebody, using Donald Trump’s words and actions, targeted me and a bunch of other members of the press. You know who I didn’t hear from?”
“Donald Trump,” the pair said in unison.
“The guy doesn’t care when people commit violence in his name; he only cares when the violence is committed against him, and he does not see that he is a contributor to the atmospherics of the world we’re living in right now,” Todd concluded.
X users reacted to the clip:
I was trying to get to the bottom of this story. Thank you, Chris. I didn’t realize it was about you. Now I understand.

That’s because leftist Democrats have a monopoly on extremist violence

So someone spouting standard legacy media, talking points tries to assassinate the president and then you blame the president for making you unsafe? Are you people kidding me with this?
