The fact that scores of conservatives and Republicans have come out and condemned both the violence at the Capitol on Wednesday, as well Donald Trump himself, is apparently lost on MSNBC.

CBS Tells McCarthy to Join Rioters, Ignored Bomb Planted at RNC

Wednesday saw disgusting acts of sedition and insurrection from radical elements of the far-right as Trump supporters launched an assault on the Capitol, breaching its halls and offices.

Wednesday afternoon during live coverage of the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol, NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd took a ghoulish victory lap of sorts, discarding any and all conservative and Republican denunciations of the Capitol violence as “a lot of empty rhetoric” and “empty concern” that, in his mind, means absolutely nothing.
