Chuck Todd of NBC has been accused of showing favoritism to Antifa. This has created quite a stir among other those oppose to any sort of hate crimes.
He is accused of using the media as a platform for supporting Antifa. Antifa uses violence to shut down free speech.
This is a growing problem since America is the land of the free. Freedoms are fast disappearing as many groups contend with each other.
Todd openly condoning the actions of such groups didn’t go without response. Many lashed out at Todd on social media, mostly Twitter.
There have been recent clashes between white supremacists and Antifa. Some of the clashes haven’t ended well.
Comments
Antifa are known to attack police officers among others. Todd himself made a comment about the violent actions of Antifa.
He downplayed Antifa as “a far-left political movement that argues it’s necessary to confront hate groups sometimes with force.”
Todd was criticized for giving Antifa a voice on air twice. Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center was very displeased by Todd’s actions.
Todd asked “you seem to be a very small minority here who is defending the idea of violence, considering that somebody died in Charlottesville. Why do you defend confronting in a violent way?”
Todd directed these questions to Mark Bray, a supporter of Antifa. Bray is a professor of Dartmouth.
Bozell wrote “violent leftists have broken into the mainstream and Chuck Todd is guilty of aiding and abetting.”
He continued “it is abhorrent that NBC and Todd believe it acceptable to normalize extremist groups like Antifa which use terror to silence their opposition.”
