Perhaps driven by an obsessive belief in the collusion delusion, NBC political director Chuck Todd spent Sunday declaring that President Trump was “interfering” with British politics and trying to help get former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson elected prime minister. Meanwhile, Todd had either defended or ignored President’s Obama’s efforts to get his preferred leaders and policies voted in around the globe.

The conspiracy theories started on Sunday Today after NBC White House correspondent Mike Viqueira insisted Trump “ignited controversy” in an interview with British newspaper The Sun “when he appeared to favor former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's bid to be the next prime minister of Great Britain.”

“Well, I like him. I've always liked him. I don't know he's going to be chosen, but I think he's a very – a very good guy,” Trump said. The NBC reporter then hyped British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s response: “President Trump's attempt to decide who will be Britain's next PM is an entirely unacceptable interference in our democracy.”

Of course, NBC refused to mention Corbyn’s own ongoing controversies with his past anti-Semitic remarks. Failing to mention and pushback against anti-Semitism from political allies has become a disturbing trend from NBC.

Viqueira was also excited by the idea that President Trump would have to face 250,000 protesters (which showed up during his last visit) and a giant balloon shaped in his likeness wearing a diaper.

Seemingly to rebuke Viqueira, host Willie Geist noted that “The President, in fairness, was asked a direct question about Boris Johnson, which he answered by saying he's ‘a very good guy’.” But that gave way to Todd decrying Trump’s outspokenness:

Yeah, you know, the President and diplomatic guardrails are things that don't go together in the Trump-era. So, every other president is briefed and told don't weigh in on another country's political debate. But that's not Donald Trump. He's going to, shall we say, interfere in another country's election.

After suggesting it would be the priority of Trump’s hosts to keep him distracted and away from British politics, Todd worried that “the risk here is the President going off script and impacting the current political crisis in that country. And that is an uncomfortable place to be normally. This President loves being in a position like that.”

Later on Meet the Press, NBC correspondent Carol Lee confronted Todd with the fact that President Obama weighed in on the Brexit referendum. To which Todd angrily huffed that it was “that Cameron’s invitation”. He also suggested that this showed Trump didn’t care about Russian interference in American politics.

Todd didn’t show the same concern when foreign leaders were weighing in and attacking then-candidate Trump during the 2016 election. And calling a candidate “a very good guy” pales in comparison to the $350,000 in taxpayer money Obama sent to an activist group in Israel in a failed attempt to block the reelection of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That’s true election interference NBC and Todd (and the rest of the liberal media for that matter) refuse to report.
