No Surprise Here! Nets Blast Speech, Refuse to Chide Dems

December 29th, 2018 10:42 PM
In an interview with National Review, Chuck Todd began with his usual patter about liberal bias being the cultural divide between large urban areas and broad rural expanses, whether it's patriotism or religion or guns.
