In a desperate attempt to downplay chaos in the Democratic Party following leaked Democratic National Committee e-mails and the resignation of chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz, on Monday’s NBC Today, Meet the Press moderator Chuck actually tried to spin the controversy as a positive: “Look, the only piece of good news out of this for Democrats, Jeff Weaver, Bernie Sanders's campaign manager, told me yesterday the best thing for Democratic unity is her resignation and that actually could calm the waters today.”
After dutifully parroting the liberal talking points, Todd argued: “Without her resignation, today could have been even worse, or is the assumption that today could be worse.” However, he did acknowledge possible lingering Democratic divisions: “Sanders' team may be satisfied that they finally got her resignation, something they’ve been calling for, but I think we’ve got to find out what Sanders delegates are gonna respond.”
