Saw something familiar on Meet the Press today

Did not catch the whole episode but, did catch something that I have noticed from Chuck Todd. It was When Rep Jackson Lee brought up the fact that the House of Representatives have sent legislation to the Senate, Chuck quickly shut her down.
I believe that it would be imperative to make it the point that the Democratic led House is passing legislation and that the republicon Senate is actively refusing to bring it up for a vote. I truly believe that this is a bigger story than the sideshow distractions of what this imbecil tweets and what are the republicon takes on the Democratic leadership.
I have seen this pivot from a real underlying issue in the last few election cycles and it appears to be happening still.

do it or don't ...he actually said piss or get off the pot...but then he said how he is frustrated with Mitch McConnell....he backed off saying well I don't want to call anybody out..but then he went back saying why in the world can't we pass a drug price bill for the American people on and on. He said the American people didn't send us here to do nothing and we need things brought to the floor. Did ya see that?

He "tilts" Repub on purpose, sometimes by deliberately leaving out pertinent info such as the OP related to appear "balanced." He belongs on Faux as far as I am concerned.

Today watched Nicole and the handoff to him was a bit more awkward than usual. I think he resents her smarts and congeniality with her very smart panels.
