Over the weekend, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined NBC’s Chuck Todd for an interview where the host repeatedly attacked Johnson for his worries about the Hunter Biden investigation. Following the rude interview from Todd, the Wisconsin senator sat down with Fox News to give more detailed insight about Hunter Biden and blast the NBC host for his biased reporting.
“Senator, do you have a crime that you think Hunter Biden committed?” asked Chuck Todd. “Because I have yet to see anybody, it is not a crime to make money off of your last name.”
“Chuck, you ought to read the Marco Polo report where they detail all kinds of potential crimes-” Johnson began before getting interrupted.
“Hold on, let me stop you there. Potential. potential is innuendo. That’s why you have an investigation,” Todd remarked.
“Chuck is it a crime to be soliciting and purchasing prostitution in potentially European sex trafficking operations, is that a crime?” the senator said.
“I’ll take you at your word that you are ethically bothered by Hunter Biden,” Todd said when Johnson intervened by stating “Are you not?”
“I’m a journalist. I deal in facts,” Todd responded smugly.
“Part of the problem, and this is pretty obvious to anybody watching this, is that you don’t invite me on to interview me, you bring me on to argue with me,” Johnson said.

“Look you can go back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media bias all you want. I understand it is part of your identity,” the NBC host mocked.
Following the interview, Johnson joined Fox News where he was asked about the mainstream media bias when covering Hunter Biden and the president.
“If you don’t look for evidence you will never find it,” Johnson explained. “The journalists who basically helped install President Biden into his office, they called him a moderate, they suppressed and censored Senator Grassley’s and my report on the Hunter Biden laptop story. They don’t want to defend his record. 40-year high inflation, record gas prices, a wide open border, rising crime.”
“So again I am so suspicious of this new revelation of these documents,” he said. “They found them last November and they didn’t get them all identified and we have a drip, drip, drip of revelations of these things coming out…The journalists don’t want the egg on their face because they don’t want to defend this president because his policies have been disastrous for this country.”
When asked if Chuck Todd self-examines his own side and if he is “delusional,” Johnson remarked that the journalists are advocates for the Democrat Party.
“Unfortunately you have the vast majority of people in the mainstream media who aren’t journalists anymore, they are advocates for the Democrat Party,” Johnson explained, adding, “so they see things from a completely biased and slanted view. The viewpoint of the Left. Like so many other leftists, they don’t believe that there is any other viewpoint that is valid. So he simply won’t open his eyes to the truth and to the other viewpoint. He is not fair and balanced.”
As mainstream news journalists like Chuck Todd continue to attempt to cover up for the Biden administration while claiming that “I’m a journalist,” they indirectly ruin their own reputation. Todd’s decision to not take the concerns of Republican senators seriously showcases his inability to understand the other side, something that is paramount to good journalism.
