Trump brought up Todd — who now hosts NBC’s “Meet the Press” — in mentioning a 1999 appearance on the show in which he spoke about needing to “take out” North Korea.

“A show now headed by ‘Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd,’ ” Trump said. “He’s a sleeping son of a bitch."

During the rally, Trump also laid into news networks, harshly criticizing NBC and MSNBC.

Brokaw has in the past been critical of Trump's treatment of the media. Last year, he fired back at Trump after he questioned at a rally whether members of the press liked the country, calling it a "cheap shot."
