Brian Williams takes a shot at MSNBC and NBC News colleague Chuck Todd
-
The MSNBC host called Sen. Ron Johnson, Republican from Wisconsin who on Wednesday claimed "fake Trump protesters" were behind the U.S. Capitol siege, “the rare conspiracy theorist who is a regular on Meet the Press.” As Mediaite points out, Todd hosted Johnson three times since Oct. 2019, but only once in the past 15 months. But Todd has come under fire for giving a platform to Republicans who believe the 2020 presidential election was fixed for Joe Biden. ALSO: Williams suffered 23 minutes of The 11th Hour technical problems, requiring Lawrence O'Donnell to step in.
