NBC host Chuck Todd wondered on Sunday if the American people can "handle" the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

During an interview with Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MA), Todd said that charging Trump might be too harsh for "the country."

"Do you think he should be charged with a crime?" Todd asked Hogan.

"I think that's for the Justice Department to decide," Hogan replied.

"Do you think the country can handle prosecuting a former president?" Todd wondered.

"Yeah, I'm not sure they can," Hogan opined. "But I think no man is above the law so if that's where the facts lead, that's what has to happen."

1. Well it's not like we didn't know which side Chuck

Todd was on!

17. Always having tRumpie photos in the background is a dead giveaway.

[peggysue2]

2. I'm wondering if the country can . . .

handle Chuck Todd much longer? We might put that to the court of public opinion, along with Andrea Mitchell.

I don't know Chuckles, do you think the country (the majority) can handle a political atmosphere where a man who attempted to topple the United States government walks free and clear?

And no, Ms. Mitchell, that is not hearsay.

At least Hogan gives a nod to the rule of law.

[samplegirl]

3. That's was my thought

we need to get rid of all these wushu washy pundits that still prop up the orange lump.

[Hstch05]

4. He's just

The worst. The false equivalencies he pushes every day in order to look like he's impartial has made. him ineffective and dishonestly out of touch.

[Tommymac]

19. Well, Chuckles has always been out of touch. IMO he is a journalistic hack. nt

[rubbersole]

23. The country can't handle Chuck Todd.

His bosses are slowly realizing that.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Can it handle the rule of law?

[no_hypocrisy]

6. We can no longer go around treating Trump like he's radioactive/toxic.

Akin to prosecuting Roy Cohn, his mentor.

Remember that Cohn was finally taken down by being disbarred. And everyone fled from him when he lost his MoJo.

It will be difficult and painful and perhaps time-consuming. But Trump can be prosecuted.

7. The Embarrassing Relative Sweeney Won't Talk About Says Whut? nt

[elias7]

8. Better than it can if he is not prosecuted. Ask the next obvious question, Chuck.

You should wonder if the country can handle not prosecuting Trump, not following the rule of law, not acknowledging the utterly seditious activities he engaged in. For what, Chuck? For the feelings of the snowflakes who can’t handle the truth? Are those brain dead idiots to be prioritized in your America? What friggin planet do you live on?

9. Chuck is qualified for NOTHING except reporting obituaries in some Dumbfuckistan Murika shithole

"Gertrude Alflin, 86, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Some say she was a woman of tremendous faith, attending church every morning. Others say that she was really a cruel woman who hated her family. Reports are that she became more of a homebody when the love of her life, Bernard, passed away several years ago, although some have questioned her whereabouts at the time of his death. In lieu of flowers, the family have asked that you play a Bingo Card in her honor at the Tuesday Afternoon VFW Post Bingo Game, but some people say that this would only encourage gambling.

She'll be laid to rest at Shady Grove Cemetery and Drive-Thru on Monday, although some have said it will be Wednesday."

"Back to you Andrea..."

[sop]

13. Or reporting on the White House "soup of the day."

[Brainfodder]

10. The country MORE likely IMHO can't handle him not being sent to the big house!

I'd prefer he be double gored simultaneously by bulls charging in opposite directions at this point over nothing.

[thesquanderer]

11. though asking someone what they think is not the same as telling people what you think. n/t

[Aussie105]

12. Can the country handle it?

No, that is the wrong question.
The country NEEDS it, REQUIRES it to right the wrongs of the recent past!

It would lead to a rebirth of the country's moral code. A psychological refreshment.

Moral men would be able to hold their heads up high and be proud once again, and the others . . . well, they'd be wise to keep their mouths shut!

[sop]

14. "Indicting Trump will not tear the country apart. NOT indicting Trump will."

[ashredux]

15. Chuck.....just go away!

[SheltieLover]

16. Americans desperately need to witness justice for the slob

Spawn, & everyone involved.

[IronLionZion]

18. This country can't handle a pandemic or Nazis

yet here we are.

so let's try prosecuting Trump and see what happens.

[Tommymac]

20. Can the Country/Democracy SURVIVE not prosecuting TFG IS the real question that should be asked.

Chuck is a 100% bought and paid for corporate 1% M$M tool.

[judesedit]

21. Hogan gave the perfect answer. Screw Chuck Todd

[SouthernDem4ever]

22. Only Chuck Tool would ask such a dumb question

Why is he even there? I don't know anyone who watches him.

[Pepsidog]

24. We can very well handle putting a career criminal and traitor on trial.R snowflakes will just have

to deal with it or have their asses put in the defendant’s chair.

[doc03]

25. This country will not survive if Trump is not prosecuted. nt

[Zambero]

26. Chuck Todd wonders if the country should blow off Trump's multiple crimes

In baseball terms, four balls pitched to a batter gets you onto first base

Ball One - Bill Barr's misrepresentation of the Mueller Report
Ball Two - Impeachment #1 acquittal by the U.S. Senate
Ball Three - Impeachment #2 acquittal by the U.S. Senate
Ball Four - DOJ chooses not to prosecute despite overwhelming evidence of January 6th involvement

IF the latter occurs, TFG is escorted to first base, "exonerated" of any wrongdoing. He and his followers are "justifiably aggrieved" by the witch hunt that Dear Leader was subjected to. What better set-up for a third presidential run. If TFG rounds the bases and "scores" the presidency, he can thank the corrupt system that he refers to so often. Of course, in this particular context, said accusation would be one more confession, but too late. Too late for the country, and too late for democracy, as an autocratic president has proven multiple times to be above the law. The fascist agenda, aided and abetted by a radicalized Supreme Court, can and will proceed full speed ahead. IF the Chuck Todds of the world have their way.

27. chuckieToad obviously one of the 123million

Americans who has a learning proficiency of a sixth grader.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Fuck Chuck

[Thtwudbeme]

29. *Raises hand* I can Chuck!! I can!!

I'll be fine--- thank you for your concern about my wellbeing!

[Ohioboy]

30. I'm sure there are worse things than prosecuting a criminal president

For example, not prosecuting could lead to more of the same problems Trump created. We have to get back to the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power. The only way back is to prosecute those who caused a non- peaceful transfer.

[Gato Moteado]

31. with a legal team like ghouliani, jenna ellis, lin wood and sidney powell....

...this should be quicker than the chauvin trial to prove his guilt.

let's do this.

[kentuck]

32. And many wonder the exact opposite.

No man has deserved it more.

[RAB910]

33. The proper question can the county survive if he isn't prosecuted

[dameatball]

34. Conservatives: "Hmmm, back a washed up loser or switch to DeSantis? Oh, Oh....I know that one!"

The demise of Trump will be fun to watch, at least for a while. There will probably be some ugliness stemmimg from it. I do not believe that it will linger as long as Repugs discover that there is an equally horrific option they can rally behind. They will shell out for a new boat flag and be on their way.

35. Please fire Chuckie Todd
