Chuck Todd: If Trump Were President Elsewhere, Our Own State Department Would Be Issuing Grim Reports

“The President of the United States refuses to concede the election, claiming falsely that it was somehow stolen. His attorney general is currently encouraging investigations into voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence that any exists.

“His secretary of state is suggesting the president will be inaugurated for a second term.

“If this were happening anywhere else, our State Department would be issuing grim reports about the future of that country’s democracy. But that country is this country — it’s happening here.

“President Trump is refusing to acknowledge two realities: his defeat and Covid-19. But the virus does not care.” – Chuck Todd, today on Meet The Press.

.@chucktodd: “We invited every single Republican senator to appear here on @MeetThePress this morning. They all declined.”
